    Jack Goodhue got engaged last weekend. From social media, it looks like his fiancée is Auckland-based. Obviously most of his family is in Northland. A move north to the Blues for Jack Goodhue in 2020?

    @sparky I remember the same reason ("his partner") being used with respect to Dan Carter and Beauden Barrett signing with the Blues. Still waiting ...

            Zarn Sullivan brother of Chiefs Bailyn Sullivan.

            I see he's playing for College Rifles now. Think he'll play for Auckland this year?

            @Tim Pretty sure he will. I believe hes on a full M10 contract this year. Based on his club form don't be surprised if he at some stage of the M10 season he overtakes Plummer to become the first choice 10! You heard it here first 🙂

              So is that a line through Duffie's name then? He was extremely ineffectual last night.

                Probably

                Other outside backs are returning from injury, rest and suspension. So it’s hard to see him getting another chance to redeem himself

                  Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi has re-signed with the Chiefs so he won't be heading north of the Bombays any time soon.

                    @Yeetyaah Chiefs caught wind of what was going on..not sure if it’s a smart decision on his part especially if Weber is your number 1 halfback and the coach is still Cooper..good luck to him,but it’s a dumb move on his part..would have been the starting halfback at the Blues..

                      Why is not going to a hopelessly run franchise not a good move? Blues are yet to prove they are out of their funk (even if they do look better)

                      Word is that Cooper won't last.

                        @Hooroo it’s the best way to challenge yourself ,if he’s quite happy to sit on the bench, then so be it..!

                          I am picturing that he won't be on the bench much next season. He wasn't going to move this season

                            @Steven-Harris Agree that he would have been starting at the Blues. Still think he'll push Weber out though.

                              @Yeetyaah my disappointment is probably more in and around the fact we (the Blues)can’t seem to sign anyone of quality in many key positions..teams with average halves don’t win Super Rugby titles..which is why I am so critical of Tony Hanks the so called recruitment officer..I could write a list of players on this guys watch who have not scrubbed up on his watch not to mention the non signing of many players who gone on to be rock stars at other franchises and that list would be bigger again..

                                Just heard through a contact Sam Nock will be the starting halfback for the Canes game on Friday night..has not been re signed as yet, but sounds like he is playing for his future..

                                Pulu apparently does not have a contract..but it’s seems its not out of the realms that the Blues may resign him because he could be staying in NZ..
                                The plot thickens ...either that or they have lost the plot.

                                  @Steven-Harris do the Blues take a punt on Nock and hope he matures into a decent halfback or do they toss him to the scrap heap? I suppose they are damned if they do, damned if they don't.

                                  I would get rid of Pulu though, he has reached his ceiling IMO.

                                    @Canes4life I think your spot on..Can you imagine Nock behind a Saders pack..?,even Bryn Hall looks half decent, but Nock has got a much better pass..apparently Leon MacDonald works with the Blues halfbacks..that’s because he played halfback...not..!.
                                    Do yourself a favour Blues..I have got Former All Black Dean Kenny’s Phone number, when it comes to halfback critique I have never meet anyone better...

                                      I think Nock has something he just hasn't had the right direction around him maybe now he has I think he will grow his game.Great Pass good box kick 2 great elements for a HB just needs regular game time.

                                        @Steven-Harris If the Bues don't want him I would be more than happy if the Canes picked him up. He is definately better than Finlay Christie.
