    Bryce Heem ? Hopefully makes the cut, but picking up few injuries now.

        Heem is signed for 25 but it will surely be his last season. Great guy for mentoring the new young backs but turns 36 in January.

          Been watching Heem for a few years. He's really solid - has come back bloody good. Lack of pace only exposed occasionally, and sometimes peels off runs that make you sit up.

          Great signing. Thanks for the effort Bryce

            He probably shouldn't be in the 23 that often either. Great cover for when there are injuries

              @george33 I do like Thompson so am ok with him staying. He could play more blindside if Rush is replaced by Christie.

                Bit of depth lost at wing with Banks and Tangitau at other franchises

                I'll be annoyed if Lam is forced to play wing as he's the best 12 in the squad

                Who else covers wing? Spencer? Heem prob too slow for wing these days. Tito-Harris perhaps? That blonde chap from Northland looked useful

                  @KiwiMurph Nathan Salmon...think he will be training with Blues in an apprentice-type role.

                      @george33 I missed him off my 'not yet announced' list. Surely they want him, he performed well when chosen last season. I think he is Vern's type of forward.

                        @Daffy-Jaffy totally agree, but could be wrong , haven't seen anything about him been re-signed.

                                @Nogusta That should allow Lam more midfield time as most of us would like and maybe save Grindlay or open up an extra wing spot.

                                  Yeah, I presume it’s an error. Would be surprised if the Blues released him early.

                                      What I can tell you is Stephen Perofeta is off to to the Canes for 2025

                                      Driven very much by Jason Ryan

                                          @george33 highly unlikely have just spoken to his dad after seeing your coms ,don’t know where you got that info from he’s with the Blues again 2025 then again even dads keep secrets
                                          What I can tell you is Stephen Perofeta is off to to the Canes for 2025
                                          James Mullan hooker from Canterbury coming to the Blues in 2025
                                          Driven very much by Jason Ryan
                                          Got couple of other bits but rather have that information cross referenced first 😉

                                          Jesus back with a bang! Welcome back.
