    Really great depth in the back row. Some super stars in the backs. There’ll be there in the later weeks of the playoffs. Lack of quality at Tight Head Prop, Half Back and Second Five may haunt them in the end. Potential Finalists.

        Do Blues fans think Anton Segner will ever make AB grade? The fact the crusaders under SR let him go is not a great portent.

        I do. He's still young (22) and he gets better every year. The problem for him at the moment is the log jam at the Blues in the loosies.

          I hope his work is better quality than this glitchy video.

              @Tim if you good enough then you young enough. Heem was a later developer and probably has a few more good years in him. He still has some toe and made some good line breaks last year. I would be happy with him at 12. Size, pace and some decent distribution skills.

                  With the new 'Classic' brand Super Jerseys due out in the shops in two weeks, it must be time soon for some leaks or teasers. The best thing about the new Blues jersey might be that we may be rid of the ugly big green 'nib' box on the front. nib branding seem to have replaced it with this new much cooler logo -

                      https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/departing-all-blacks-coach-joins-the-blues/S5KDW26M6JG7BJUW3YO3ASFYRQ/

                      While Feek will join the revamped Blues coaching team - working with new head coach Vern Cotter and incoming attack coach Jason O’Halloran - he has signed a fresh contract with NZR, instigated by general manager Chris Lendrum, that features a yet-to-be-determined wider brief expected to extend to assisting other national teams.

                      Feek’s scrum coaching role with the Blues allows him to blend the best of both worlds by commuting from Christchurch while overseeing his 15- and 17-year-old son’s transitions through Christchurch Boys’ High.

                        I wonder where Ben Afeaki is coaching next? Feek is basically taking his job

                            Yeah google says NY last season. He hasn’t updated his linkedin.

                            So it seems Tito was the Afeaki replacement. Strange, he was hardly a like for like replacement

                                I presume Halangahu, McGrath & Tito were all retained? So have I got this list right?

                                Cotter - Head coach/Forwards
                                O’Halloran - Attack

                                Halangahu - Skills
                                McGrath - Defence
                                Feek - Scrum
                                Tito - Forwards/Lineout

                                  @Duluth I think Halangahu gone as well.
                                  Hes definitely moved on from the NH job and possibly Blues as well.

                                    A stuff article just mentioned Halangahu, McGrath & Tito are still there. Maybe he moves on after the SR season?

                                    I presume he's going back to Aussie?

                                          @george33 It does matter. The Blues retro jersey has had an awesome impact for fan engagement.
