Blues 2023

@Chris And it's annoying as I stated a while ago especially at lock, that it also affects our locking stocks for the Blues, hence why we end up signing journeymen to fill in the gaps.
Auckland especially have been pathetic bringing through locks.
-
@Chris there is absolutely no excuse for Auckland to bring in anyone form outside Club Rugby who isnt already an established NPC/Age Group Rep/Super player...the stuff I read about/see online and listening to @Steven-Harris who is out and about every week covering club footy, the talent running around Auckland is insane! Which is probably part of the problem, IDing those that might make that step up and beyond!

@Tim said in Blues 2023:
With Fusitua signed, and Tuipulotu returning, they may only need a hooker now (would rather not use Riccitelli)?
A young loose forward might force their way in? A tighthead to replace Renata? Maybe a halback or wing?
Or another TH if Laulau goes to France.

I think Nock was on his last year of his deal. He tried to get an early release, so I suspect he’ll go somewhere else
It might be Milo-Harris to replace him. An improvement IMO

@Tim could do worse than Hallam-Eames, top grafter there.

@taniwharugby How has Craig looked this year?
-
@Tim gone better than I expected him to, has good skills and has been more physical too, but think hes still not there yet.

Would still prefer to sign guys like him and Beehre
Tuipulotu and Darry with support from the loosie/locks (Robinson, Suafoa, Tucker, Plumtree) until the young guys are ready
