    From the blues website -
    There were some casualties, particularly Caleb Clarke, who was in menacing form early on until he suffered a hamstring injury. Unfortunately Tanielu Tele’a suffered a season ending ACL injury.

      That dude has zero luck, that's terrible news. He was looking good while he was on, his direct style was perfect for the Brumbies defensive line.

        @Daffy-Jaffy Man that sucks. That would cast more of a pall over the team than Clarkes injury. Tele'a is well liked by the boys. Quiet and humble trains hard and has scraped and clawed for every minute of playing time hes gotten having fallen well down the pecking order in the last couple of years.

          Would be surprised if Clarke plays again for the Blues this season, hamstrings are tricky especially for athletes who rely on speed. He could possibly be available for the final if the Blues make it

              Blues instagram reporting 1 week for Rieko, 3 weeks for Clarke and aside from Tanielu that everyone else is available.

              So perhaps Goodhue will get a hitout this week

                That would be great news for the playoffs - he was in excellent form, and would improve our set-piece play.

                  Wouldn't be surprised if a number of the starters are rested this week in preparation for Highlanders QF.

                    @KiwiMurph i reckon that's a bit on the optimistic side from the Blues based on how Clarke pulled up. He does have a flair for the dramatic though ol Caleb. Wouldnt be surprised if he made it look worse than it actually is.

                      TAB has odds very tight for Waratahs game, so they must assume Blues will rest several players.

                        Fixed...I wonder how much additional information they get though, as it is crucial to thier algorithms and setting of odds, I know they can amend, but they need to set them earlier than when things are made public.

                        Do they have 'insiders' or just rely on rumour and speculation like us...surely not?

                              New captain 2024 (following the WC) sounds right, but will he start before then? I love me some Sam Cane, but Cane might not be quite McCawish enough to hold out Paps from a starting jersey.
