    @chris didn't c that coming very surprised if it's finalized not sure bout that

    Unless Corey Evans didnโ€™t get signed that would leave a spot for Kata.

    @chris Tua's inclusion could mean any one of these changes from my earlier guess at the midfield group to join Ioane -
    Kata to MP?
    Evans to wtg?
    Heem not returning?
    Tele'a not returning?
    or Tua is actually signed to the wtg?

      Does tanielu telea still have a contract

      The Blues just posted a vid of him smiling on Instagram (yes, I know ...), so I'd assume so.

      @tim I think Nogusta mentioned that he still has one year on his contract, unless there is a mutual decision for him to move on anyway.

        On the Wrampling rumor - i was reading the comments about the Anton Segner signing on the Blues Facebook page and noticed someone commented then tagged Gideon and another Wrampling person to their post. (May just be because they were team mates at NZ schools level i think) but adds a little to the intrigue.

          I love how we go into detective mode when there's a lack of squad news. ๐Ÿ™‚

            @tim love this time of the year , it actually disappoints me that a real big opportunity is always missed by the franchises to drip feed some signed players each day to build momentum.
            Moana Pacifika has done it brilliantly unloading signings each day , and checking on their social netwok each day and watching the interest build has been superb.
            It also leads to plenty of speculation and chat.

                @tim I also stalked the page of the person who made the post. They have pictures of a baby in Blues jersey captioned "Blues all Day" so they are also a Blues supporter - even intrigueier!

                            News out of Blues HQ is that a halfback has been released. No prizes for guessing who that might be.
                            Taufa Funaki probably come in on a draft contract.

                                  Looks like they are in the middle of updating their site and haven't updated the certificates yet.

                                  If you click past the warnings there is a new, and mostly empty, site

                                      If the Chiefs sign Nock and let Ratima go, I might be a bit pissed.

                                      If they can keep Cortez on a development contract and have four, then that might be different.

                                        @gt12 At the very least we need to have Ratima in the system, or the Chiefs risk losing him forever. He's only 20 so being on a WTG contract isn't a bad thing.

                                          Assuming that is enough for him, that would be great.
