Not a good year to be injured. There is one or two spots in the back three to fill in the AB squad and Zarn has the required qualities for that. His big left foot could be used in order to get rid of the banana kicks for touch when penalties are given on the right side of the pitch.

@KiwiMurph could well be don't think Heem is re-signed beyond this year

I reckon he's been the best, or at least one of the best pick-ups for the Blues in the last few years. Good glue player to have around RI especially.

Evans could be 12 next season - really played well on the weekend
I remember seeing him play as a youngster and thought he would be an AB for sure. That may not be the case, but he's got class and I think would make for a great combination with RI.

@gt12 He just hasn't been given a regular opportunity yet, but if Heem moves on, I feel like we'll see a lot more of him. A very good versatile player.

As good as Heem has been for us, I think it is time to secure the likes Leo Gordan and Xavi Taele going forward rather than to give Heem another year. He will be 36 when next season starts.

As good as Heem has been - it was refreshing to see a genuine 12 in the backline. Bit of a lost art for the Blues since Faiane left.
Another thing Evans might be keen on at Blues is being coached by O'Halloran - not a bad 12 in his day.

Blues looking to bring Barrett in as an injury replacement.
I'm not a fan of players coming back into squads from overseas like that.

Based on what has been posted previously he won't be allowed to play in the knock out games. He might be allowed to play in the last round robin games

Evans was good in the weekend (better than previous goes at fullback), but I did have to laugh that half the great plays he got credit for from the retards doing commentary was Plummer.
@Kirwan There was also one where Plummer got credit for the grubber Evans put Forbes through to score his try haha.
