@kiwimurph Crap!

[taniwharugby]

@kiwimurph that sucks, I was just going to comment how good it is Goodhue must be over his, and hoping he has an injury/knock free season, but tempered somewhat now with BB having concussion symptoms.

@taniwharugby at least they're cautious. One of the real benefits of central contacting

Karl Tu’inukuafe out until at least April after having a back operation before Christmas.

[Frank]

So curious to see how Tuivasa-Sheck goes.
The next rugby star or the next Benji Marshall?

[taniwharugby]

@frank 100% he will be a success at Super, whether he can make that next step up will be the bigger ask of him, but I reckon he looks to have the skills and mental ability to do it.

I wonder if that affected his play last year.

Solid pick in Papali'i as skipper. I remember him at St Kents, very good player and leader. I think this says that Robinson isn't guaranteed a place in the run own team so can't take on captain duties.

Concerning that Beaudy's concussion issues are still with him months after their last game?

[Steven Harris]

@nostrildamus Tom rolled his ankle, will know a little more over the next couple of days but defenitely be unavailable for the next preseason game

[Tim]

Looked like Robinson was training today, so hopefully ok!

sorry to hear. Edit Dalton sounds a good captain pick to me but will that be an issue with so many good loosies? Or is he now a dedicated (and way out in front of everyone else) 7?

I'd say he's clearly the best 7, so everyone else is fighting over 6/ 8/ lock or some combination therein.
