    so I don't see him busting into the starting team.

    Tom? Given he was captain in Patty's absence this year, you'd think high chance he is captain next year, meaning he will start more games than not, and with the Blues roster, I expect he will get time at lock.

    I'm a big Pat T fan for the Blues, but Tom R spoke more tothe ref in the first half captaining than Pat did in a season. It was an area he just never developed unfortunately.

    Maybe we'll channel our inner Chief and appoint co-captains? Tom and Beaudy?

    @nzzp I agree. PT was too much of a teddy bear and never reached our expectations as a player or captain. I was surprise he was appointed captain except to maybe focus him and with the expectation that he would rise to the occasion. He is done and dusted as an AB in my opinion. Enjoy the sushi.

      @broughie a bit harsh.

      He played well at times, but didn't string performances together. Good leader internally, but didn't dominate enough in games

        @nzzp I wanted him to succeed but did he deliver on a consistent basis? I am afraid not. Huge potential but not enough passion.

                      Harbour players standout at the moment. I just realised there's only two. I assume that's a record low?

                      Not helped by the cancelled NPC season, GCT & Pierce going overseas, Hunt retiring, Tolai going to MP..

                        I was looking at the provincial representation the other day. NH has more players in the Chiefs than in the Blues.

                                  @duluth Realistically the only 2 of those players could have been in contention for a Blues call up for next season, Tolai and Marshall.

                                    @daffy-jaffy Would have been interesting to watch Harbour's scrum this season. Lay and Renata aren't the strongest scrummagers.

                                          @nzzp I've been to a Chiefs home game at NHS. It was a bloody Friday night match so driving up was a mission.

                                          that's rarer than being at Woodstock, right?

                                          I'm sure Woodstock would have been much more fun! The Chiefs lost to NSW that night.
