      @nzzp yeah they all seem to put it in pre-season, so comes down to other issues that see the results fall the way they do.

        I liked the one where Ofa was having to bear crawl up One Tree Hill. Look hideous.

              Going by the Blues latest video the main leadership group is

              Patrick Tuipulotu (captain)
              James Parsons
              Rieko Ioane
              Tom Robinson

              Also - Doug Howlett looks to be involved - great to see!

                  @Dice yep.

                  I hope at least Nuia/Eklund get proper minutes off the bench. If Parsons starts he shouldn't be playing more than 50 minutes max.

                    Not necessarily. Captain, yes, part of leadership group, no. Kevin M was part of the leadership group of ABs for a long time, even when not a starter

                        Brutal? Ha, weak. We* in the military had to do all this with heavy loads, and weapons.

                        • By 'we' in the military, I mean those who didn't try hard enough at school and ended up as a grunt, or similar. As aircrew, I obviously went from air-conditioned accommodation/ hotel to chauffered air conditioned vehicle to air-conditioned jet. An officer should never run, as it alarms the men.

                            @KiwiMurph I agree it is good to see Howlett involved with the team. They even supplied a couple of old burnt out cars on the beach for him to jump on! Can anyone I.D. the player who is the front right stretcher bearer next to San Nock at 4m.52s in the vid? It's been annoying me that I can't work out who he is.
                            Edit: I think the same player in the white T shirt in this pic - could it be Tamati Tua?

                                    Good to see Sullivan in the environment.

                                    Does anyone know what happened to Lemeki Namoa the 2019 Blues Development Player of the Year?

                                    He got injured last year I believe.

                                      He already was. I watched the Chiefs Dev and Blues Dev teams play each other earlier this year. Zarn was playing for the Blues and Bailyn for the Chiefs.

                                        Good to see Sullivan in the environment.

                                        Does anyone know what happened to Lemeki Namoa the 2019 Blues Development Player of the Year?

                                        He got injured last year I believe.

                                        @KiwiMurph I saw Namoa on Sky's coverage of the recent Red Bull ignite sevens so he is fit and playing. Maybe he will turn out for Auckland at the national sevens on Dec. 14/15.
