Blues coaching race: Jason Holland and Ian Foster lead search to replace Vern Cotter
@Tim
Mr Holland is still employed by NZRU. -
I thought the Blues were really high on Halangahu? Maybe they’ll promote him into the role?
Fozzie or Holland? That would be something.

Good luck to him in his recovery.

@African-Monkey be interesting to see whom they shift in from the wider training squad could be an opportunity to bring in either Saunoa or Tima Fainga’anuku
Could do with a bit of X factor on the right wing no disrespect to Cole Forbes who looks more suited to fullback imo -

Man that is sad. Blues have been decimated because of Scott Robertson and his cronies.
I sound petty but trust me, the hate for the Blues is strong down there.

Confirmed here
Most Blues fans were fearing it and half expecting it. It must've been tempting to stay at least till the end of 2027 or 2028 but the lure of a big payday locked in and I'm sure bad taste in his mouth over how he'd been treated.
The challenge we have is there is a big chasm between our veterans - Patty, Ofa, Hos, Dalts, Christie and those in their prime - Caleb Clarke, AJ Lam plus oft injured - Perofeta, Sullivan and our young core, most of who came through NPC baptism of fire.
We should look to recruit a few veterans to shore up our ranks. Pita Ahki looks like he'll work out well. Slater looks like a solid acquisition as well.
