@nzzp well I didnt wanna say that, as I sometimes get accused of bias...
Very unfair too. We know that you are biased, the accusations are completely unnecessary.
I actually think that Dalton is a good player but apparently I only think that is because he plays for one of the teams that I support. Go figure.

I am shocked. How could people think that when you're promoting a player who retired 25 or so years ago?

Yes, been through that with @taniwharugby . Apparently Andy lives just up the road from me too.
Now if I could just learn to spell Papalii. Papilli'i. Dalton is fine.

@KiwiMurph Saw a post from Zarn Sullivan about it being a great night for him and his partner. With the comment "Fingers crossed it won’t be our last ..". That seems to suggest that he doesn't have a (development) contract with the Blues for next year; or am I reading too much in this comment?

Maybe he's hoping to be part of the full Blues squad? Be a good fullback addition with Duffie going.

Blues CEO comments yesterday suggest contracts are being finalised over the next few weeks.

“It would be quite nice if the Blues gave us a cheque for the expenditure we’ve occurred, that would be quite nice,’’ he quipped.It would be quite nice if the Blues got a cheque for every player coming through their region that plays elsewhere. Around a third of M10 players I believe.
It would also be nice if offshore teams had to pay NZ to take players ... but down that path can lie madness

@nzzp Yes I had a good chuckle at that. Not so fun when the shoe is on the other foot is it Crusaders.
@KiwiMurph Clowns haha

@KiwiMurph this was pretty funny too
“We gave him every opportunity to stay, but he wasn't willing to stay here and compete, and he's taken another path.’’ Robertson said.
no chance of course that he wanted to grow his game in a new environment. If he makes the ABs, I'll chortle quietly to myself.
So many years of getting the Kane of the Barretts, and wrecking 10s. Redemption y'all.

Funny how the anti Crusader brigade are focusing on one line at the end of the article and are ignoring the rest of the quotes that show the Crudaders handling his decision well, publicly at least.

What like this quote?
"he wasn't willing to stay here and compete, and he's taken another path"
That doesn't read as particularly classy to me.
