Blues 2019

@Nogusta Do you know who else played for Auckland or Harbour?

[Chris]

@African-Monkey Yeah it does They Like Bower as he played both sides of the Scrum.I think they see potential in Isi enough for a contract I am not 100% sure.But don't be surprised if they keep him.

[Chris]

@Nogusta Do you Rate Suafoa he seems to be a big unit.

[cgrant]

And what about Taulani (Counties Steelers) ? He is a big unit too.

Why is Christie being touted as "returning home." Dude was born in Scotland. Manu will be a loss for the Chiefs if he moves back north.

[KiwiMurph]

@Yeetyaah it's just typical Blues PR spin finding a way to put a positive spin on things

"if we say this shit player is returning home people might not be so angry"

Not a big one, he was essentially surpassed by Nankinvall.

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah Christie hails from the Scottish part of Pukekohe.

Will he play for C-M too?

I think because in the article on the Blues website, they refer to him as a "former St Kent's pivot".

Enough has happened in the last 10 months to believe Mackinnon is indeed proving to be a Mikhael Gorbachev figure ushering an era of Glasnost, with the most notable thawing being an agreement that Auckland's Mitre 10 Cup team can train at the Blues Alexandra Park headquarters this season.
