Blues 2019

I'd rather see Nonu at 12 than Rieko.

[Kirwan]

Another stupid selection from Tana. Nonu better be a team man this time, and leave his ego at the door. He was extremely distruptive last time he was with us.

I assume he's having a crack at the ABs?

[Frank]

It's all about the dreads.

My alternate midfield squad selections:

SBW
Tumua Manu
Michael Little
Matt Vaega
One of TJ Fiaine and Orbyn Leger
Tanielu Tele'a as a development contract player

Additional cover from Plummer (12) and Ioane (13).

I think they call it a meme

@mn5 I thought memes were funny?

I don't have your time management skills to be consistently funny on here. I steal what I can.

[Bones]

@mn5 you stole a turd.

I was driving and thinking about drinking.

Nonu's son just started at my nephew's school in the Windy City.

@pakman No 1 city in New Zealand on Lonely planet. The wind is just a myth to keep the haters away.

@canes4life When the wind doesn't blow, it's nice. When...

I like Wellington, but I've never experienced stronger wind anywhere in the world. And that's not just at the Beehive!

Nigel Yalden said today that he believes that TJ Faiane is with the Blues for next year.

That's three 12s, so Leger may be the odd man out. Still interested if Tele'a is on a full contract.

[Daffy Jaffy]

@tim This article on the Blues website suggests Tele'a is on a full contract.
It says nothing about development contracts. -
The Blues continues to invest in youth for 2019 and beyond after announcing that three members of the New Zealand Under-20s rugby team will play for the club in Super Rugby next year.
Harry Plummer, Tanielu Tele’a and Hoskins Sotutu, among the seven players from the Blues region in the New Zealand Under-20 side, have been signed for two-year contracts with the Blues.

Leger was only a fill in contract wasn't he?
Not doing his chances much good in the NPC this year anyway.

@crucial Wouldn't suprise me if he ended up at the Chiefs next year to take Fa'auli's spot despite his indifferent Mitre 10 Cup form and they tend to get the best out of rejects from other sides these days.
