Blues 2021
-
The Roosters of Super Rugby.
-
still get clapped by Canes though .. ..bye now
-
It used to be the Crusaders that hoarded AB props, then it was the Chiefs for a few years, and now it's the Blues. Not a criticism, just stating a fact.
-
@mikey07 we need a good back up tight head for lomax otherwise i think we're good
-
Have just caught up with a couple of the North Harbour management pre kick off at the Northland game in Whangarei ,Both Sione Mafileo and Bryn Gatland have signed with the chiefs .
Nic Mayhew is in discussions with the Blues and unbelievably Jacob Pierce does not have a full contact with the Blues.. -
@Bovidae yes from what I believe ..tell you what Pierce would be a superb pick up

Mafileo great in the scrums but struggles around the fieldMayhew would be a good signing. Hugely underrated.
Pierce - well hopefully it's still at the negotiating phase. He's already a far better player than Goodhue and GCT

@Duluth the word is with Pierce , he’s had some battles to overcome and has finally addressed them , can’t say to much this forum , but it’s more than Rugby in the bigger scheme of things , both GTC and Goodhue have got 2 more years left on their contracts ..

I'd assume that Renata will be gone if Mayhew signs?

@African-Monkey correct ..Mayhew has been impressing many..the strange nature of the season saw many super teams re sign many in their their rosters unknowing where COVID would take us ..so with most of the squads having filled 80% of their rosters .

@Steven-Harris On the radio last week Parsons was speaking as though Renata would be there next year (praising him along with the 4 all black props he gets to scrum with next season). Mayhew is mostly a loosehead isn't he? Maybe he replaces Lindenmuth?
-
I was just going to say what @Daffy-Jaffy said re: Mayhew and Lindenmuth.
-
When Darry was signed I guessed he was replacing either Aaron Carroll or James Tucker. If Pierce is not returning maybe they are both returning? Caroll contributed well off the bench this year but is more of a flanker option for me at 1.93m. I was looking forward to having two 2.03m plus locks in the squad (Darry, Pierce). Not sure that Darry is quite ready to start at super level from what i've seen for Canterbury. Would not mind Pierce going if they were maybe signing Jack Whetton.
