      Has anyone trouble accessing the Blues' website, or is it just my antivirus programme?

      Looks like they are in the middle of updating their site and haven't updated the certificates yet.

      If you click past the warnings there is a new, and mostly empty, site

          If the Chiefs sign Nock and let Ratima go, I might be a bit pissed.

          If they can keep Cortez on a development contract and have four, then that might be different.

            @gt12 At the very least we need to have Ratima in the system, or the Chiefs risk losing him forever. He's only 20 so being on a WTG contract isn't a bad thing.

              Assuming that is enough for him, that would be great.

                After the Segner signing I am suddenly more keen on watching tonight's Cantab v Mako game. I havn't seen much of Segner so it will be interesting to see him match up at 7 against Gibson the younger. Also with the Romano rumor, interested to see how he keeps up with the pace that Ta$man tend to play with.

                  @daffy-jaffy Based on 30 minutes of tonight's game, Segner is busy, but lacks impact - especially on defence. Will be 3rd or 4th choice number 7 at the Blues.

                    @tim Agreed. He still has a bit of growing to do. He looks like a boy at the moment.

                      You can see why the Crusaders didn’t think Stegner was ready for a full contract

                        @chris He does look decent, but he just has a bit of growing to do. I wouldn't write him off just yet.

                          @african-monkey Definitely has potential. If he fills out he would look like Papalii.

                            I am not writing him off,But I can see why The Crusaders didn’t offer him a full contract they thought he wasnt ready,
                            IMO they were right

                              @chris Yeah that's fair. Having said that, I do see more upside to him than Havili and even Christie, not that the Crusaders will care too much as they usually pluck someone from somewhere. Still a year or 2 away imo from being fuy ready for SR.

                                @african-monkey Wouldn't be shocked to see a wider training group player get selected ahead of him next year, if there's an injury.

                                        @nogusta That's a little surprising after his improved consistency with his 'work ons' (passing quality and option taking) last season, and that they seemed to favor him over Nock in the game day squad. He is an outstanding defender and very physical player so I did not mind in the squad as a different style option from Little Red and Nock. It all depends who is replacing him I guess. I wonder where he is going and will another team pick him up? I like Nock though so I hope that means that he is staying after the earlier rumors that he wanted out.

                                          @daffy-jaffy released might be the 'official' line if you know what I mean. I think he's on his way to France. Apparently they were considering Richard Judd but opted for the young gun local so Taufa Funaki the likely replacement.
