Step up caretaker Dalton

@Chris Sad for Patty. They say 8 to10 weeks. So likely back for round 7 or 9 (8 is a bye).

Yeah, rounds 6 & 7 are Pasfika & the Force. So there's no need to rush him back before the bye

The boys suggesting that the All Blacks that are on tour may not actually play this next game, that they are there to train on with the team after just recently returning from their break.

I skimmed through that.
Angus talking about his injury was interesting. No feeling from the neck down for ~1 min. Didn’t want to play again initially. His spinal cord was already pinched before the injury that made it more likely. Post operation it’s safer than it was before the injury
Apparently Akira gives Angus shit about being a club ___ ( slut, whore?), says he’s a one club man

Starting locks while Tuipulotu is out? Darry seems locked in, so Beehre, McWhannell, or Suafoa to partner him?
Starting tight five is probably easy to pick aside from that:
1 Tu'ungufasi
2 Riccitelli
3 Ta'avao
4 Darry
5 ?Hard to guess with new coaches. So far Suafoa hasn’t been used at lock.. Thompson has been used as a lock and a loosie
I’m guessing Darry won’t play the Chiefs preseason match after having plenty of minutes already
Suafoa probably needs to start at lock in that one to be a chance

Shades of the Red Conway Story - may explain a few of his ball handling issues over the seasons -

@george33 Looks like you were bang on, well played sir.

Patrick Tuipulotu has avoided surgery on his fractured jaw, with the Blues captain expecting to be back on the field in April after a period of rest and recovery.While out of action and limited to light activities for the time being, Tuipulotu said it would be a bit of a struggle to maintain his weight during his time off. He said in the 10 days since he suffered the injury he has already lost 2kg and had been told he could have full-fat milk and a few more protein shakes before bed in a bid to limit the weight he would shed.
