@tim Pretty much. He's a sad excuse for a journo.
@african-monkey I remember when he posted about how happy he was that the B&I Lions had beaten the Chiefs.

Hamish Bedwell supposed to be a decent journo
No, he is a weirdo with a massive chip on his shoulder, who hates NZ rugby, the Blues, the Chiefs, and hopes NZ teams lose.

Sadly I pretty much agree on that. Don't know how he gets his articles published after some shockers last year. Must appeal to the click bait audience.

He certainly is, I'm pretty sure he got his job through the reputation of his old man aswell who I believe used to be a great journo in Wellington for a long time.
Hamish has always been a poor journo, especially when he was writing on the Canes for the Dom Post. Always so bloody negative and just so poor with his information, half The Silver Fern could do a better job to be honest.

Good decision. Papali'i is certain to start when healthy
TR is likely to be rotating with other players.. or possibly moving to the second row

I don't recognize this Blues side. Good selections and choice of captaincy, energetic backs, healthy forwards, promising younger talent from league, and plenty of depth. And no excuses offered early by Blues posters here!
What a strange year 2022 is shaping up to be. -
With Tolai and Niuia at Moana Pacifica, and Apisai with the Chiefs, who is the backup hooker in the WTG this year?

There's some new headshots up. Some regular squad and some in the wider group

I can only spot flankers & props in the extended group

Moulds?@tim Moulds is playing MLR for San Diego Legions, but will be back for NPC.
I think Olsen is not 100% in for NPC, contemplating a break (or retirement?) so unsure if he is available.
Ross Wright is the other who has some experience, has been doing a fair bit of work at the Northland HPC over the summer, but he's not really a long term option.
Behind them, no one up here would be near the radar.

@tim Togiatama in Moana Pacific?? Are any of Nathan Vella, Ricky Jackson or Quentin McDonald training with a franchise?
