So it looks like we'll see that ugly green NIB logo on the Blues jersey for three more years.

I missed this from a club rugby report a couple of weeks ago. Evans must at least be on the Blues radar for next seasons midfield?
"But after losing Corey Evans to a Blues call-up, Tokahere knew his side were in for a challenging afternoon against a University team"

Openside flanker Gibson, meanwhile, is heading to another New Zealand franchise, having been forced out of the matchday 23 by the likes of Dalton Papalii, Tom Robinson, Akira Ioane and Hoskins Sotutu.
“We’re generally pretty full,” MacDonald said regarding the Blues roster for next season. “Maybe one or two to go.”
“There’s been a lot of decisions about where do we fit everybody,” added Blues chief executive Andrew Hore. “Hence the Blake’s and that of this world [leaving]. Second row … with [Cowley-Tuioti] leaving.
“Also, there’s a lot of young kids that are coming through … We’ll hopefully get that balance right now and that’s something the organisation wants to work on, is making sure we get that balance right between young and old, getting that experience and leadership across the board.””

@tim hopefully the likes of a Corey Evans comes through in the Bunnings NPC , that 2nd five position looks even thinner with TJ Fainne making a move ..Tamati Tua has still not been spotted from rehab ..
I did message Scott Gregory to congratulate him on his season and I did mention Auckland is a lot closer to Whangarei

@steven-harris so is Narawa

I assume that Plummer will get first crack at 12? No idea where RTS will play, maybe he'll be looked at for 12 as well?

IIRC, that's where the AB coaches were interested in him playing.

@steven-harris Theres nowhere for him to really go sadly, with every team fairly settled at 9 (except us). Overseas might be his only option?

@tim Hmmm so we might see him there a fair bit for Auckland then?
