    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.

            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.

            @Daffy-Jaffy hearing Heem may be forced into retirement due to injury

                  @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.

                        @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 😉

                                @Steven-Harris the Perofeta situation has been there for a while, on Evans only rumour as I said , from coach of an Auckland club side., And that's great he is staying at the Blues.

                                    @george33 No question there was always going to be a potential move on his Perofeta’s part but it was only signed off at the NZ Rugby offices today

                                      @African-Monkey Cheers took bit of hiatus after being diagnosed with an illness late last year but slowly working my way back to full noise maybe not too much if you know what I mean ..always a great site for information on our national game , fortunate enough to have some great contacts around the country regarding good oil .
                                      Still hard work being a Taniwha supporter though , tend to make you ill again

                                      Haha true on the taniwha part (Auckland too for that matter). Sorry to hear that in regards to the illness, take care of yourself. Hope you're well.

                                        @george33 No question there was always going to be a potential move on his Perofeta’s part but it was only signed off at the NZ Rugby offices today

                                        @Steven-Harris awesome, great move by all involved, obviously Blues playing a big part in it.

                                          @george33 have also heard the Blues are looking at Quinn Tupaea and his brother Mason who was with the Blues this year as injury cover
                                          Reiko Ioane possibly heading off on a sabbatical, if that happens Tupaea likely to come north
                                          I do apologise if this has been mentioned before
