@bobily2 covid never gave Corey chance at npc level this year hopefully make his impact

True, he hasn't had much chance. But he had a couple games still, and didn't stand out - which would suggest to me he still isn't quite there. He's got time to develop - no need to chuck him in there recklessly.

@taniwharugby Auckland announced his signing all over social media last week?

[george33]

@nogusta yes great for our future

I believe @taniwharugby meant jock mckenzie is on loan to northland, not corey evans (evans was announced on social media as signing with Auckland).

[george33]

@kiwimurph yes he was what bout jock for auckland is that confirmed?

No idea. I'd like to see Zarn start to log some minutes in the 10 shirt for Auckland.

Who knows - Zarn might see some minutes at 10 tonight now.

@canes4life We still want him haha but he's only played 8 times for us.

Perofeta to 10 it is, although he has been devastating from the back.

[taniwharugby]

@Nogusta @kiwimurph yeah I was talking about Jock, but if he is loaned to Northland by Auckland would mean he is signed with Auckland?

[African Monkey]

@kiwimurph Wouldn't complain as I feel like our attack flows better with Perofeta at 15.

[Nogusta]

@taniwharugby ah righto my bad

[Nogusta]

@african-monkey they will have had to bring somebody up to speed real quick in case Perofeta goes down during the game. I doubt Zarn would have had any reps at 10 during the preseason.
They are going to need SP to go the distance at 10 tonight. Zarn starting at 15 would probably see Kneepkens come onto the bench in the event SP or Zarn get injured.
Because Kneepkens covers wing as well they might be tempted to drop Tele'a from the bench in place of Evans who covers midfield and has experience at 10?

@nogusta

I thought Zarn got time at 10 during the first pre season match? Even if he didn't I would prefer him covering 10 than a guy on debut

[george33]

@duluth how many changes for blues tonight I've herd up 2 eight ? Any idea guys

[Grooter]

I'm gonna feel disappointed if my lot don't put their best foot forward tonight.. we're only really missing 1 of our usual openside flankers & some experience out on the wings

[george33]

@fakatavafuture we see my friend still waiting for blues official line up may not happen until 6pm

[Grooter]

@george33 before taking the covid withdrawals into account the blues are already without Goodhue, Akira, Tom, both 2nd five options so if we can't get the win then I might be having 2013 flashbacks

@fakatavafuture jesus...you really dont give a fuck about jinxing things do you!
