thats not a lot considering some will be filled by re-contracting

didn;t like this

"A number of current players will be re-contracted, with Mauger saying that retention was the priority, and in recent weeks the likes of midfielder Michael Collins and in-form flanker Dillon Hunt have taken a “wait and see” approached when asked abut their 2021 plans."

I like collins...not going to loose sleep if we loose him...Hunt though...

@Kiwiwomble He’d be okay as 3rd seven for the Blues. We have better young prospects though.

Isn't he a Harbour boy? I thought you'd be all for him.

I know I'll offend the Bluesinnati - but I'd rather Hunt any day over the overhyped Blake I'm out injured for a month after slipping while walking to the bathroom Gibson.

[African Monkey]

@Nepia So would I tbh haha. Used to be a massive fan of his but he's made of glass. He can't play 2 games in a row these days.

[Tim]

@Nepia Scrafton was in the same boat until this year. Maybe all his weaker parts are broken now.

How eager is JJ.

I feel like some of those blokes may have spoken English.

Based on?

@Bones i assume just on the comment early about how he's holding of a decision

He'd be mad to. He's a 15 that covers 10. Last thing blues need is another 10/15 utility. Chiefs have DMac, canes have Jordie, crusaders have millions. Versing a cemented starting spot down south.

Or wrong Hunt? I wouldn't blame DHunt.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bones i think we're talking Dillon...the blues have been talking up their loosies this season though and he's been given a chance to really shine for us this season, a lot harder to get a starting spot in auckland at the moment i think

Not when your opposition is the captain and the coach rates him higher...

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bones was the captain this year...who knows next, i'll get on the #maugerout bandwagon if Hunt stays and gets dropped again

[Stargazer]

Looks like Parkinson's rehab is going to take a while.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer man that sucks for him so much. Sad to see.

[Bones]

@Stargazer that suuuuucks.

Oh well, he'll be ripe for making a Retallick type debut next year (when he's added more bulk).

[Kiwiwomble]

poor bastard, was doing everything needed to be noticed at the next level

[Chris B.]

Fuck it!

There goes one of Ta$man's aces!
