    Three good games in a row for Sotutu, with the last two being very strong. More physical this year.

            And the loss we were well ahead before lack of pre season smashed us

              If the Blues win next weekend it'll be only one loss in 365 days

                    @Tim in theory, I assume Christie could pass his HIA tests in the week and be available for next week?

                    Although it looked pretty bad, so you'd think he will have at least this week off.

                      @taniwharugby I wouldn't want to take any risks with him or Hodgman. Especially with Nock out for a few more weeks.

                          I think this is somewhat relevant to Blues:

                            @Tim they had the rest of the long weekend off back in the lab tomorrow so we'll see who/what turns up then!

                              Players from all franchises are available which means one of Hamish Dalzell or Liam Hallam Eames could be an option. Both are in the Chiefs WTG, and I assume one of them is the injury replacement for Retallick.

                                @Bovidae For example, Michael Curry was WTG with the Blues since preseason and has since played a couple of games at Lock for MP as injury cover. I guess the Blues can now call him back as Goodhue cover if he is no longer required and not signed by MP as a season long replacement.

                                  @Bovidae yeah Hallam-Eames got called into the Highlanders briefly to cover Caird, but he caught Covid soon after he was in camp, so missed whatever opportunity he went for.

                                        Who will be unavailable next week?

                                        Goodhue
                                        Maybe Perofeta and Sullivan due to covid
                                        Maybe Hodgman and Christie due to concussion protocols
                                        Maybe Akira Ioane due to injury recovery

                                        Anyone take knocks during the game? RTS and Robinson?

                                        Who is due a rest? Rieko Ioane, Telea, and Sotutu?

                                        Milo-Harris might be worth selecting over Funaki?
