Blues 2024

From the Club Rugby website:
Club Rugby understands that Tawa prop PJ Scheck is moving to the Blues.
The Wellington Lions prop spent time at the Highlanders this year and played one Super Rugby match. He has played 25 matches for the Lions since his debut against Northland two seasons ago.
Wait and see whether this rumour is correct.

@Nogusta The early rumors we had about replacement prop targets were Tevita Mafileo and Finlay Brewis. I guess one of them at least is not coming. I was hoping Ahio might get a go. I think he is underrated and I see real potential in him, he gives me slight Olo Brown vibes.
I really hope we don't lose Josh Beehre. He has been Auckland's best along with Choat. With several teams looking for locks I suspect he will end up somewhere south, unless we go with an extra forward in the squad and one less back. -

Annandale, and Beehre as well?

@Daffy-Jaffy said in Blues 2024:
@frugby already signed Mcwhannel from the Chiefs.
Forgot about him... I guess there is no room in the inn then? Who left, just Tucker?
If another lock has left, they may bring in a third, as playing Robinson and Suafoa there wasn't really satisfactory. -
@Daffy-Jaffy yea thats interesting they went for Sheck over our own local boy Ahio. Must see something in him?
Taavao will also be back at the Blues next year. -

Never rated the guy, will be 34 in March 2024 for me hes just a stop gap measure

so the rumours of Tevita Mafileo,Brewis and maybe another Crusaders prop going to the Blues did not evenuate.
Tamaiti Williams. I never thought that rumour was believable
Is Brewis even fit? Didn't you say the Crusaders were letting him go?

No he is not fit,Brewis has been sidelined all of the NPC and most of the SR with injuries to his neck and Shoulders.
Yeah I heard they were not re signing Brewis due to all the injuries,That is why I thought the Brewis rumour another Ferner raised may have had merit.

@Steven-Harris yea I'd say a stop-gap measure.
I believe he's a replacement for James Lay.
