@KiwiMurph It will be interesting to see what they're going to do, if Carter is fit.
10 BB, 22 Carter
15 Duffie
Plummer?It sounds like last week they were going to run both Faiane and DC on the bench til DC got ruled out. I don't really see the point in running Plummer and DC though.
If he didn't get injured, I have a feeling DC was going to play fullback off the bench last week.
Does beg the question what do they do this week on the bench.
Sounds like Otere is doubtful - so Duffie to 15? This is where Tanielu Tele'a would be perfect on the bench - covers 12/13/wing
If Duffie starts at fullback, then maybe DC(if healthy) and Narawa on the bench? I hope it's not Plummer and DC on the bench together, but I can see it happening.
We've missed Tanielu. I don't think anyone who has worn the 23 jersey has added much off the bench for us this year, but he's just built for that impact role off the bench.

Why are you Blues fans getting so wound up debating selections?
You’re only playing the Warren Chiefs ffs.Yeah it's not like the Chiefs historically ever lift in a derby vs the Blues....
it's not like we've had to for a decade at least...

Hoskins Sotutu and James Parsons are also likely to spend at least one more week on the sidelines having missed the loss to the Hurricanes due to a knee injury and concussion, respectively.In that article it says that the team will be named today. I thought it'd be named tomorrow with our game being on Sunday.

he waits until Fridays to think about the Chiefs
Not sure that he thinks about the Chiefs.
Sure he does think about the chiefs...
Who's going to be the chief lion, Mario or AWJ
Who's going to be chief backline coordinator...

27k tickets sold for this one so far.
Blues must be dominating crowd figures this year - it's been super impressive (and great to be there!)

You would hope so though. Biggest population centre and all that. Big reason why NZR came in to sort your shit out.

it's about bloody time frankly. If we get the local population interested, we actually generate revenue we can use to either hold on to great players, or distribute to the unions. It's just being so bad for so long turns people off. Kind of like being too good - people lose interest.
That said, Auckland has massive competition for eyeballs - multiple professional sports teams, heaps of other stuff to do, and traffic that doesn't make going out easy most of the time
