McElroy could be a good signing, at least with the WTG. He is a strong scrummager and mobile. He is still young so has plenty of time to develop into a very good SR player.

Nisbo confirmed James Tucker back to the Brumbies
In an article on stuff today Hinton says that Tucker will be at the Blues. Who do we believe?
If so the Lock group may be Romano, Goodhue, Tucker, Darry, Plumtree. With Robinson and Suafoa covering 6/Lock. -

Probably, but we (NZ) struggle with depth at lock

Not to mention the intervention of Covid 19 upsetting the applecart.
As for Nisbo,i am more likely to believe Hinton -

@steven-harris Any update on Goodhue's head knock?
@daffy-jaffy he stayed in for an extra few hours at Rotorua hospital after wednesday eveings game as a precaution ,early signs ok,but there was an issue with his neck as well..its a concern no question,will do a bit of a follow up during the week

@nogusta Is a 'draft contract' for the players outside the 38 full contracts? What we used to call the wider training group.

@george33 I saw the picture on Auckland's insta page of Evans training today with a small group of Blues players. Sione Ahio was also there. I will be pleased if Evans' contract is confimed. I rate his potential, especially as a specialist 12 were we need depth.

@daffy-jaffy draft players are part of the fulltime squad. Max salary of $50k i think?
