Blues 2021

@Tim can we refer to Pierce as 'our future locking saviour' yet, or do we wait for a miracle game?

[Tim]

Looking at those players, the forwards match-ups in this weekend's Battle of the Bridge are going to be really tasty.

Our first choice pack is starting to look pretty deadly.

1 Hodgman
2 Eklund
3 Tu'ungafasi
4 Tuipulotu
5 Pierce
6 Ioane/Robinson
7 Papalii
8 Sotutu

16 Tolai/Parsons
17 Tu'inukuafe
18 Luatua
19 Cowley-Tuioti
20 Gibson/Robinson/Ioane/Hunt

The depth in the forwards is insane. I expect to see a fair bit of rotation especially in the loosies next year.

@Gunner
Blake Gibson and Dillon Hunt too. Where will Choat go?

[Nogusta]

@mofitzy_ Landers maybe to replace Hunt?

[Tim]

@mofitzy_ Choat (1.90m) can play 6 as well as 7, so he'd be a good replacement for Tucker in the Blues squad. Robinson and Gibson will probably get injured, so he might well get game time.

Good pick up for most teams though.

@Tim hoping the improvement Nock has shown this year both at the Blues and for us is a sign he is finally getting there, so while been a long slog, hoping the perseverance with him will now start to pay off.

If we had seen more of Cooper at 10/15 for us, he may have been an option as he looks like one of those players who could make the step up.

They signed Billy Harmon.

I'd rather we targeted a fullback tbh.

@Stargazer LOL, slip of the mind there! Meant Laulala.

I've had to stop drinking coffee for a while, so we'll blame that.

[Kirwan]

@Stargazer wishful thinking, means Laulala.

[Stargazer]

@Tim I thought I had missed some big news (and a change in position).

[BerhamporeNinja]

@Tim Luatua's coming to the Canes next year.....lol wishful thinking right

[BerhamporeNinja]

Looks to be signed to the Blues to the end of 2021.

[Stargazer]

@BerhamporeNinja All the props in that list and James Parsons are signed to the Blues until the end of the 2021 season.
