Blues 2025

Would have to imagine its James Mullan since McAlister and Taylor already announced as signings and Bell being very unlikely to be lost
-
Any idea what is happening the 10 from Canterbury, who was on the Blues roster this year. Not sure if he got any game time or not.
-
Hopefully this means that Kolose has been signed by the Chiefs, as he would have been another target.

I think you'll find it is more likely Kolose is signed by nobody. Contracts these days are largely locked in before the NPC starts, particularly in positions where there isn't a lot of depth.
Be fascinating to see which hooker it is, I mean you'd assume it is Moananu... unless he is going to be the Crusaders third choice, and McAllister has taken an early release to go to the Blues.

James MullanSeems a bizarre move. How good is he?

Big unit but has had recurring concussion and shoulder problems over the last couple of seasons.
If he stays fit he could be ok. -
Well we do have 2 aging hooked so there is a chance for him to be our main hooker in a year or 2.
Barely seen him play, but clearly they have an eye to the future with this signing.
