      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?

                                      Yep. He's injury cover, and signed as utility cover. Need to go through the training to get ready for selection, then needs to get ahead of the current team members (or we have more injuries). Has had little contact recently.

                                      That comment was more about that it's not automatic selection because he's DC.

                                        Yes, because he's weeks away from being available for selection.

                                          His off field role is going to super important for some of the younger players. He was also talking about goal kicking with BB, also a bonus.

                                          Very well handled pres conference. Leon is pretty astute, and pragmatic.
