I liked seeing the emotion on display here, as JK said afterwards it’s important to see this.
Good family man.
Obviously he's despised by many outside of Auckland and on here, but it's been guys like him (and a few others) who have changed our fortunes from being easy beats to becoming one of the stronger sides in the comp. We'd usually lose talent like him over the years but him staying and serving the side for many years now has also helped others stay in the region and many other teammates speak highly of his influence in the side. Seasons like 2018, where we barely won a game, yet he played every minute of that campaign and carried the side on his own, yet still missed out on national selection that year somehow, but to his credit he stuck at it, finally got his opportunity in 2020, and will always go down as a Blues legend no matter what his critics have to say about him.
Well done to a champion player.

Effectively, it may only be 2 weeks if he's allowed to get a week off his suspension when doing that tackle intervention programme (assuming it's his first offence since that was introduced a few years ago). Waiting for the official decision from SANZAAR to find out.

One of those games was likely to be AB rest too

No indication of a week off for the course in this article.

and the german has also been good
I assume he'll be getting another start soon as Sotutu will probably have an enforced AB break
It'll be interesting to see what they do with Robinson. With Choat & Segner they have some good options in the loosies. However there is a bit of a squeeze at lock with Darry gone.
The top locks would be Tuipulotu, Suafoa & Tucker. They are an injury away from needing Robinson at lock. It'd be worth getting him some time in the second row in the next 3 weeks, even if it's just from the bench
