Blues 2024

[george33]

Beauden did have a contract from round 10 for Blues , was my understanding

[Canes4life]

@george33 that hasn’t been mentioned at all so I won’t believe until I see it.

[george33]

@Canes4life it's mentioned alright last season behind closed doors, so my money is we'll see Beauden by end of season or maybe earlier, just see how his club is going, but he's got release date also with them I've been informed

[Canes4life]

@george33 fair enough. It will either help the Blues or completely derail their campaign. Depends on what Beauden turns up I suppose.

[george33]

Guess we will see as the season moves forward, U hurricanes going ok

[Canes4life]

@george33 indeed they are.

[george33]

@Canes4life keep it up , might even meet further down the track, think U guys have a trip to Auckland in a few weeks

[Kirwan]

That would be great news, I'd put him straight in. With the way our forwards are playing this year he'd be far more influential than last year.

[Canes4life]

@george33 yeah that could be a massive game in the grand scheme of things, if it's anything like last year's match at Eden Park where Telea scored four tries and the game still came down to the wire, it could be a fun watch.

A Haka for his 100 -

Zarn out for 6-8 Weeks

Forbes to fullback obviously

Hopefully it means Cashmore onto the bench in the best 23 (Perofeta covering fullback)

I wouldn't like to see guys like Plummer or Evans covering fullback

[george33]

@Duluth Forbes yes and Evans, could b the go to man ,from bench

Bugger

[Daffy Jaffy]

[taniwharugby]

good to see Woods there, he has put on some size in the off-season, but is a real athlete.

[Duluth]

It won't happen, but I'd like to see that 10/12/13/14 combo play against the Force next week. With the rest of the 23 close to full strength

[george33]

@Daffy-Jaffy there's some serious talent there looking very good moving forward

[African Monkey]

@Duluth The 12/13/14 especially looked very good in pre season. I'm expecting Rieko to go for a sabbatical soon so would like to see a bit more of Meihana Gridlay.

The many talents and miraculous story of Blues lock Laghlan McWhannell

The household of Laghlan McWhannell was divided last week when the Blues played Moana Pasifika in Super Rugby Pacific at Eden Park.
