@Chris So Rieko out for about 5-6 weeks? Is that how long a fractured hand takes to heal?
Ray Niuia out for the season. Another hooker. Who'll they call up as replacement will be interesting. Maybe finally a call-up for Kereru-Symes? Surely, we must by now have run out of old fellas and can the NZU20 hooker finally get a foot in the SR door?
A lot of bones in the hand @taniwharugby is right those injuries can be complicated
Ray Niuia is a loss too not many decent hookers left
You would think Kereru-Symes is next of the rank he’s was unlucky to not land a contract -

Ioane and his friends were also reportedly seen sculling alcohol and wielding two beers at once, one for sipping and one for sculling, another neighbour said.
those evil motherfuckers!!! hanging is too good for them
Rieko is screwed now with only one good hand.

Well at least they have April to look forward to when BB is back...….
…. only 7 games to play including the tour leg.
In saying that, this could be the things that unites them and makes them fight.
They really need the 2016, after the Wales tests, version of BB to come back ....

Think its much more likely to be AJ Lam time for the Blues.
He's a good option. I would prefer Clarke though
It'll be interesting to see if 7's takes precedence..

@Bovidae said in Blues 2020:
They are just as likely to move Duffie to the wing and Perofeta to fullback.
It would be interesting to know when Rieko fractured his hand as he seemed in good spirits in the post-match interview.

@mariner4life Ah, so that's why Akira was shown stuffing his face full of food. Fuelling up for the big night ahead.

That was my first thought too. Best way too break a hand is punch someone, second best is fall over drunk. I have no personal experience of this, but have seen it, so restricted my punching people.

7s will take precedence. They play their next tournament at the end of this month and he's been building into the 7s for the last few months culminating in his first tournament last weekend in Sydney.
I suspect he isn't available but the status of him and Gregory at the Highlanders is strange. Both players made the full SR squad. Whereas a guy like Rayasi did not make the Hurricanes squad.

@Hooroo looking at the picture, the Waikato guy kicked him

He's full time with the 7's
I think Clarke and Gregory are the only ones in a SR squad and the 7's. Not sure what that means when injuries hit the Blues/Highlanders.
It's a waste of a squad spot if they can't be selected
Ok, that makes sense. Might have to start watching the sevens again, sounds like they have some good players again.

Don't bother, with the "one loss and you're out" pool format and no quarter finals. It doesn't give a fair representation of the team's ability (but yes we have some good players in there again).
