Injured Vs niggle and not risked, possibly

[Bovidae]

The only way to know for sure is to see who is training. There were a number of non-playing squad players shown on the field after the game. As mentioned, Sullivan was on crutches. Sititi was there too.

Blues posted a few pics from training

Wrong thread , but Stephen Bates new Auckland head coach, disappointing.

[Daffy Jaffy]

@Duluth I see Josh Beehre in a maul there with PT so he might be back this weekend. also Ben Ake involved in contact so he must be recovering well from his surgery. Hopefully Sotutu is also close to returning.

Irony is this was almost the table from last year. Blues and Canes at the top, Crusaders near the bottom.

Cam Christie playing 6 today , with Che Clark at 8, for Blues A against Moana.

@george33
Great to see C. Christie up and running -

[Duluth]

Peita at 7 again, not sure that’s his right position. Would prefer to see someone like Hainsworth-Fa'aofo there instead. Maybe he's injured

Spencer on the wing is interesting. There's a lot of fullback options in the squad, wing might be how he gets a run for the full side

Is Cam Howell related to David?

Durr, sorry, got excited.

@Mr-Fish David does have a son though (Darcy) that has played age grade provincial and may have trained with the blues u20s last year too iirc

Blues A 50-12 MP A
Terrell Peita scored a hat trick.

[Bovidae]

@Daffy-Jaffy Did MP release a team list? They have injuries so it would be interesting to see who they've added to their wider squad.

[Steven Harris]

@Bovidae
Apologies for the quality got a pic from the team manager
Apparently they had to get some more players in

On the game , for the Blues Tristan Cook was on fire as was Terrall Peita , not a 7 but did a great job
Xavi Taele is going to be some player as will Rico Simpson in time
Was good to see Cam Christie back given his head injury issues ,Jack Lee was also very good , high workrate

For Moana ,Alamanda Moutuga Tevita Ofa for the best for mine

[Daffy Jaffy]

@Bovidae I hunted but was unable to find a MP team list. I was interested to see how many young local players were involved with their wider squad.
