Blues 2024

So, anyone know if Hodgman is returning? Think we really missed him this year.
Only props known to be signed beyond this year are Josh Fusitua (2025) and Ofa Tuʻungafasi (2024). Laulala is going to France? Lay brothers are more stop gaps than anything else. Renata not good enough in scrum. Sione Ahio next in line for tight head? Maybe Tevita Mafileo as a loosehead?
Riccitelli and Vikena are back next year. Does Eklund make the cut? Who else could we sign?
Sounds like the lock from Castres is coming into the squad. Him, Tuipulotu, Darry, and Suafoa would be the core. Would be great to have another big lock competing for a place in the starting line up. McWhannell still in play?

Hodgman is off to France as well. Blues did not offer him anything for next year. James Lay I thought had re-signed but a late offer from MP had him reconsidering so not 100% sure.

We are really going hard at everyone it seems.
-
He is standing in between Gregory and Bekhuis here. Looks to be a decent size for an openside.
-
Seems like it highlanders few lossies down not sure on Akira but can't c him at highlanders alot of rumours around
-
So, we need a loosehead (Hodgman) and tighthead (Laulala) replacement, and maybe a replacement for James Lay as well. Eklund and Renata might be on the fringe too. Any whispers about signings? Ahio next in line?
-
Yeah mate there is a lot of rumours around of player movement.
Some money being chucked around. -

I don't know if any are true but I have heard Akira moving,JNK moving,PUJ and TUJ moving.
But just rumours I have no 100% confirmation. -
I think the Crusaders are letting Brewis go because of to many injuries and keeping Calder or Sykes-Martin
Not sure on why with Akira but it is just a rumour.

@Tim isn’t he another player with a netball girlfriend? Maybe it’s just related to her not being in Auckland?
