Blues 2020

As a Crusaders fan I have no problem with DC signing for the Blues he gave loyal service to us through his peak years.
As a mentor he will be Awesome,I am not sure how much at 38 he can/will contribute on the field if he gets on the field I hope he can hack the pace etc of SR now.I would hate to see DC remembered for what may happen if its not great. -
Leon MacDonald:
We have two designated 10s in Beauden and Otere, and Dan will be there to help them and our other young backs. If he gets back into playing form that warrants selection, then he could help us as a utility back in midfield or fullback.
Pretty clear about the pecking order.
No mention of Plummer who I suspect will only be seen as the backup 12 in this competition. That seems like his correct position and the Blues don't have many midfielders

He looks good in Blue

You buy a Subaru Leone, and it serves you well for a decade and you put 190k on it, and then you sell it to the guy down the road when the CVs are going to break.
Even if you think hes a douche, you still get a little kick out of seeing it drive around.

Excellent post. Feel the same about BB and the Canes. We got his best years from him. But I'd rather he was with a NZ side than playing for Toulon or Bristol.
BB and DC will fantastic guys for the Blues to have in the dressing room. If their youngsters can't learn from two of the greatest players in the history of the game, then there really is something rotten in the Rugby waters north of the Bombay Hills.

Since we are collecting tens like the Crusaders used to, I wonder how long Richie has on his contract? Would be a good bench option if BB, Black, DC or Plummer got injured.
Ha! As we were talking about Dan Carter, when you said Ritchie, I thought you meant McCaw and had gone a bit loopy!

he's probably a better 10 than some of the dross the Blues have had over the past decade

What, no mention of world's second best player McClutchie?

You could get Jimmy Gopperth back. Or Stevie Brett. Ihaiah West perhaps? Or how about Benji?
