    @Tim Not sure why they're calling it a "bombshell" return. You could see that coming from miles away.

    The Blues should just stick with Plummer at 2nd 5.

    ..or Heem

    I’d prefer Heem

    If I was the Blues now would be a prime time to offer someone like P Umaga-Jensen a contract.

    That doesn't compute. They've already got at least 3 better midfielders, plus potential in Lam.

    I’m future proofing so we don’t lose Higgins. 😁

    @Canes4life We don't need him. He isn't a bad player, but we have guys there who can play 12 without having to take guys who can't get a run for the Canes.

    Fair play. He might be a better bet at the Landers with his bro anyway. They’ve got no one down there.

    @canefan What's the bet he doesn't make the World Cup and gets an early release and plays this season.

    Wouldn't be a surprise, would it? I always saw him as a fringe player anyway

    There's an argument to be made he shouldn't make the Blues 23 let alone any ABs squad.

    @Canes4life Blues have quality midfielders in Essendon Tuitupou and Leo Gordon coming through from the U20 squad so I would be promoting both of them next season or they could be lost elsewhere.

    It's pretty poor they gave him game time in black. He was never up to scratch. If he really wanted a shot he should have come in 2020, not 2022.

    Was he bad in black? I don't recall him stuffing up, not at Ennor level anyway. (I recall he was at 13 not 12)?

    @nostrildamus no he didn't make many huge errors, but also didn't add anything. At the same level as many SR players. If he'd given it a decent time before turning up, like sbw did in France, might be a different story. Want helped by covid and injury, but midfield is a complex beast, just ask ioane

    In this game he hardly played! But I do recall he was direct and I don't remember major mistakes and missed tackles

    heh! No, you are right I think! I was following the thread on PUJ!
    He must have deflected back to RTS!

    This lad, Joseph Domoni, who won the Crusaders 1st XV and South Island competition with Nelson College in 2021, was awarded a 4-year scholarship to study and play at Daito Bunka University in Tokyo at the end of 2021. Less than one and half year later, he has a professional contract with Kintetsu Liners.

    I can't remember his name. Have we lost a potentially good lock?

    1.96 m and 96 kgs only. Seems a bit too thin, even for a 20 yo lad.
