@nogusta Any idea who's playing for Auckland or the Blues? Harbour have posted their team.
No Roots brothers.
@tim So Harbour have poached Damarius Hokianga! Another one from the HB Academy gone. That explains why he wasn't playing against Wellington and Manawatu.
No Antonio Mikaele-Tu'u in that squad. Here's hoping ... although he might still be with the Blues.

@stargazer Yeah, suspect he is with Blues Dev team. Did he return to Hawkes Bay from Waikato before being loaned to Harbour?

Is this the reason why Josiah Maraku from Manawatu is training with the Blues?

@tim To be honest I am still scratching my head how Moses Leo was overlooked Antonia Mikaele Tu’u ..Leo was the best midfield back in Harbour Club rugby last year , and now is being chased by Ta$man , Bay of Plenty and Southland ..He is currently with the NZ Sevens squad , even some players in the Harbour squad were left scratching their heads ..I can totally understand, if you are bring in someone better than what you have , but if what you have is way better than what you bringing in..what’s the point ...?

@dice Christie played 40 minutes ,also playing was Taine Plumtree in picture, Nerai Fomai who started at 2nd five and Jacob Ratumaitavuki Keepkens came in in the 2nd half ..this kid has got a sensational skill set not to mention great game sense..it’s not a matter of if , it’s a case of when

@sparky Awesome news. Depending on how many games a season theyplay going forward, he could go close to breaking the all time appearances record for the Blues.

Not great news for poor Dillon Hunt.
Makes you shiver when you think what would have happened with these guys in years past - they just would have kept playing.
Coventry confirmed Hunt, who had joined the franchise from the Highlanders, could potentially miss the entire season as he worked through ongoing head issues. “Dillon has been given a reprieve around trying to get himself available for selection which can cause a bit of anxiety for guys with head injuries. He’s been given time go away and seek medical advice. He’s working with specialists and it’s taken the pressure off him to be back by a certain date,” said Coventry. “He’s the sort of boy who feels like he’s letting the team down, so we’ve tried to assure him getting himself healthy again is what we’re after … everyone has his best interests at heart.” But Coventry confirmed Hunt’s situation was serious enough that “we may not have him this year”. -

Leon McDonald has first hand experience of all of that too, so hopefully comes back like he did. Same with McCaw.
It’s great the club is taking pressure off him.
