Who will get a first SR contract ?

[Dice]

@Chris Even without Bridge, Ennor and Mataele, you guys can still put together a killer backline.

9 - Bryn Hall
10 - Ritchie Mo'unga
11 - Leicester Fainga'anuku
12 - David Havili
13 - Jack Goodhue
14 - Sevu Reece
15 - Will Jordan

To me that's the best backline in the comp.

[Tim]

@Chris 9, 10, and 15 all big questions for the Blues. There's a few points per game, especially under pressure, at stake there. Midfield depth is a worry too.

Sure we can put together a good 20 but I think your depth is stronger in the Loose Forwards and Props,

Hb we are ok but not much to cover First Five and the MF if we get another injury from the players you have named.

For the Crusaders big questions over First five and MF depth after the top 15 are put together.LF to are a bit lacking in fire power outside the starting combo.

It is going to be interesting to see who everyone gives new contracts too.

@Chris I'm hoping that after a year of nearly, Nock and Black can step up when it counts, and not get overawed.

Tyrone Thompson

he has a same sized twin but in NRL. 1.87m is quite a tall hooker.

Always rated Nock great pass on him.
He needs to trust his running ability he’s good when he picks his moments.

@Tim would the blues make a play for Gatland? i know he didn't inspire previously but i think hes grown a bit in the last couple of season, leading point scorer in the NPC i believe

[gt12]

@Kiwiwomble

I assume he's coming to the Chiefs.

@Bovidae may know something.

[Kiwiwomble]

@gt12 definitely heard that and more than likely, just wondering if its not announced yet, anything could happen

[KiwiMurph]

Freedom Vahaakolo would be a chance to pick up a Super contract you'd think?

that name deserves a Pro contract

[muddyriver]

@Chris nock is my bolter for the all blacks next year. Really coming of age.

full marks for the brave call! I can't see it, and I think Nock is great.

[Yeetyaah]

@gt12 Someone posted in the Chiefs 2021 thread saying they spoke to someone from Harbour management or something saying Bryn is heading to the Chiefs.

[taniwharugby]

@muddyriver if he can keep up his play into the super season, then he must certainly be on the radar.

[KiwiMurph]

Blues were undefeated this year when Nock started at 9 - 6 wins from 6.

[mikey07]

@KiwiMurph My sources tell me he has a verbal agreement with the Highlanders just going to through the formalities.

[Higgins]

@mikey07 Where does that leave Folau Fakatava in the pecking order if he is still wanted down south?

[Duluth]

@Higgins

Not Nock. He was replying to a post about Freedom
