Aside from Akira Ioane, it seems that Tangitau and Vikena are leaving. Barrett is returning. Other possibilities to leave are Heem and Lay. Any ideas on replacements?
-
Heem to be re-signed then as a result?

Lol this came up on IG feed, thought the Blues thread would enjoy this despite him obviously playing for the Canes. So funny seeing Telea with a head of hair.

In terms of signings for next year, what happened to Payton Spencer? Is he in with a shout or has he aligned himself with the NZ sevens programme?

He went for 7’s this year then got injured

@cgrant Suafoa probably suits Cotter's style of play more, but at the same time, I like what Segner brings but he isn't as strong in the contact areas as others.

So, who plays 6 next year? That's a huge hole to fill.
Suafoa or Clark. I prefer Segner as a 7 or 8
Depends how the NPC goes
It'll be interesting to see where Segner plays for Auckland. I hope we see a a trio of: 7 Choat, 8 Segner & 6 Clark.
I assume Suafoa will mostly start at 8 for Harbour again. He probably has the inside running at this stage

If you skim back in thread the main concern before the season kicked off was the locks. The area of weakness became a strength very quickly
Happy with any combination of Tuipulotu, Darry, Beehre, McWhannell.
Thompson had some very useful cameos. Suafoa only got a handful of mins at lock but he's still a handy loosie/lock (in 2023 he started 9 times at lock but is seems to be considered more of a loosie now)
