Hamish Bedwell supposed to be a decent journo
No, he is a weirdo with a massive chip on his shoulder, who hates NZ rugby, the Blues, the Chiefs, and hopes NZ teams lose.
He certainly is, I'm pretty sure he got his job through the reputation of his old man aswell who I believe used to be a great journo in Wellington for a long time.
Hamish has always been a poor journo, especially when he was writing on the Canes for the Dom Post. Always so bloody negative and just so poor with his information, half The Silver Fern could do a better job to be honest.

I don't recognize this Blues side. Good selections and choice of captaincy, energetic backs, healthy forwards, promising younger talent from league, and plenty of depth. And no excuses offered early by Blues posters here!
What a strange year 2022 is shaping up to be. -

With Tolai and Niuia at Moana Pacifica, and Apisai with the Chiefs, who is the backup hooker in the WTG this year?
There's some new headshots up. Some regular squad and some in the wider group
I can only spot flankers & props in the extended group

@tim Moulds is playing MLR for San Diego Legions, but will be back for NPC.
I think Olsen is not 100% in for NPC, contemplating a break (or retirement?) so unsure if he is available.
Ross Wright is the other who has some experience, has been doing a fair bit of work at the Northland HPC over the summer, but he's not really a long term option.
Behind them, no one up here would be near the radar.

@tim Not sure. Maybe Stephen Misa?
Sam Cooper would be another. I thought I saw him in one of the Chiefs training videos but he wasn't in the list of replacement players. I also wonder what has happened to Sekope Lopeti-Moli.
