    Stuff claims MacDonald told the team earlier today that Carter is joining.

    If true, the knowledge transfer to guys like Plummer makes it worth it. Doubt he’ll start many games

          And Canes fans if Beauds doesn't even play 10.

            He's 38. His impact will be minimal. Am keen to see how he goes anyway though, if this happens.

                        I can now really see Otere Black moving back to the Canes. Maybe not next season, because he's signed with the Blues through to 2021, but if/when he has the chance, he might jump ship.

                                You're assuming a 38 year old injury cover will make the team ahead of Black

                                Perofeta's injury might be good news for Black. There aren't many fullback options in the squad (Duffie, Page, Heighton) so the chances of Barrett playing fullback have increased

                                    Black at 10 and Barrett at 15 is better than Barrett at 10 and Duffie at 15.

                                    I can see Dan being on the bench for most of the season covering 10/12.

                                      This paragraph in the herald is interesting

                                      The Blues are thought to have been in talks with Carter for some time and a foot injury to Stephen Perofeta, who has been playing fullback for the side, in training this week may have fast-tracked the chance to sign Carter on a replacement contract for the Super Rugby Aotearoa competition, starting next week.
                                      

                                      So they were talking before the injury? Is this a longer term thing, is he wanting to play next year?
