Blues 2022

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.@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.

@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.

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

@Dice He has future AB captain written all over him.
100%
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.

After 2 long years of travelling restrictions, I finally get to come home and watch my son play live

@Daffy-Jaffy Got to see his son score twice and set up another.

Who do we think will be replace Karl Tu'inukuafe as a loosehead next year?
Josh Fusitua has had a game off the bench midweek against MP, the other Lay brother might be back next year, and Teague McElroy has been with the wider training group.
Maybe they could poach Ollie Norris?

Experienced utility back Bryce Heem, who competes with Tuivasa-Sheck for the No 12 jersey, tips his hat to his team-mate’s dedication. “To come from a decade in the NRL and slot into 12 in Super Rugby the way he has is pretty impressive,” says the soon-to-be re-signed veteran. “That’s credit to him. He’s a professional guy, and puts in all the hard work to make sure he’s nailing his role and he’s where he needs to be.””
