Nonu isn't known for nuturing young players. Wasn't that a problem last time with the Blues (re: 1st 5 selection)?

Well, it can't be easy playing outside Hobbs or Anscombe.

They still have SBW as well right? This really makes no fucking sense at all.

[Chris B.]

@mariner4life Depends on how much they're paying Nonu. If SBW stays fit then probably Nonu spends a fair bit of time warming the pine.

But Sonny hasn't stayed injury free in recent times and it's also RWC year, so there will be R&R in play.

Good question is whether Nonu will be happy playing a sort of Mike Delany backseat role if it comes to that.

Not a signing without risk - but, it adds a bit of intrigue.

Maybe Tana sees it as similar to when he played for the Chiefs - a guy who wont play all matches but can be a decent filler when needed?

@mariner4life Not being a Blues supporter, I'll just sit back with a box of popcorn!

I'd rather see Nonu at 12 than Rieko.

Another stupid selection from Tana. Nonu better be a team man this time, and leave his ego at the door. He was extremely distruptive last time he was with us.

I assume he's having a crack at the ABs?

[Frank]

It's all about the dreads.

My alternate midfield squad selections:

SBW
Tumua Manu
Michael Little
Matt Vaega
One of TJ Fiaine and Orbyn Leger
Tanielu Tele'a as a development contract player

Additional cover from Plummer (12) and Ioane (13).

I think they call it a meme

[taniwharugby]

@mn5 I thought memes were funny?

I don't have your time management skills to be consistently funny on here. I steal what I can.

@mn5 you stole a turd.

I was driving and thinking about drinking.

Nonu's son just started at my nephew's school in the Windy City.

@pakman No 1 city in New Zealand on Lonely planet. The wind is just a myth to keep the haters away.
