what is TKB upto?
-
So what positions might there be recruitment?
Midfield - a replacement for Marchant. Someone that can play 12 & 13 would be useful
Fullback - a replacement for Barrett (there's still plenty of 10's in the squad)
Hooker - improve depth below Eklund. Is Parsons still wanting to play?
Halfback - Christie appears to MacDonalds first choice, Blues need more quality below him
Openside - No issues with the opensides this year but I think the Blues should select a younger option. Dalton is first choice, Lamborn has been a pleasant surprise and Gibson has been good when fit (not often enough)
I would find room for Choat. That would be tough on Lamborn.. A decision that might not pay off in 2021 but a good medium term investment. -

@Tim What are the chances of us getting Jack Goodhue? He only signed a one year deal with the Crusaders last year. He's one of the few marquee type players off contract. I'd be surprised if he left the Crusaders though.
He needs to go somewhere he can play centre regularly. So not the blues (Ioane) and not the canes (PUJ) and not the Crusaders (the immensely talented centre Ennor).

Yeah true, it's only because Ennor is soooooo good that he's not playing there. Not like PUJ is even good enough to lace Ennor's boots eh...

Am I that transparent?
Imagine how good the country's best centre would look outside the country's 3rd best 8, best halfback and 10th best first five.

I have this for you:
Even looks a bit like Corp Klinger. Apparently edible hats are a thing? Who knew? (Well @Kirwan did obviously).
TBF MC has gone pretty well at centre.
