    Good to see Gibson running freely, after another season ending injury:

      @tim Gibson has confirmed he is on track to play pre-season footy. Excellent.

      Speaking of good news

        Good for the Blues and maybe good for the ABs

          Harbour U19 halfback Brad McNaughten is training with the Blues. Seems he went to Hamilton Boys, and is in the NZ U20 training squad. Was in Blues U20 this year.

            @tim I was wondering if that was the same player when I saw the NH U19 team list for the Jock Hobbs. Quite big for a halfback from memory.

              With the Blues training 4 extra half backs preseason (Kitto, Gjaltema, McNaughten and Jack Heighton, partly as cover for the late returning NZ Maori tourists) the incumbents should be well motivated to step up this season or they will see the future coming. I am certain Pulu will leave at the end of this season and Nock and Ruru are both off contract then I think.

                @daffy-jaffy pretty sure Nock just re-signed this year, although unsure if it was for more than 1 season

                  And here I was thinking that he is only there because he is Tana's mate......

                      I saw him in Ponsonby yesterday, and was surprised how fit he looked - if I was that muscly I would probably wear tight t-shirts like him too

                        I've only met him once on the street. He's farking square, no wonder he's so hard to put down

                          Yes but did you have breakfast? Or at least a coffee?

                            I shared a song with him at the 7s whilst he was dressed as the biggest blue avatar thing I have ever seen.

                            I was a bearded frau with wine dispensing breasts - ah the good old days of the 7s before the fun police fucked it

                              Dare I ask what the song was? (Really hoping it wasn't "be my girl").

                                    @machpants Well, there is a relief. Given that you were dressed as a chick and those blue things shagged with their tails or something...
