    @stargazer Who knows now. Perhaps selection is on a case by case basis?

    Time for someone to do a list of the unlucky XV.

    Olmsted!

    He’s not kiwi, but I’m still surprised he didn’t find a home. I’d take him at the Chiefs.

        Seriously, Tupou stays at the blues but this guy can’t get a gig? WTF?

        Anyway, he’d go in my unlucky 23.

          @gt12 The muppet Blues re-signed Tupou before the end of the 2018 Super season. Cos he is Tana's mate from Counties. Absolute joke.

            It's surprising they didn't pick him up as it appears its Chiefs policy to pick foreigners (the Crusaders seem to have slowed their similar policy).

              In itself, that’s a firing offence. He’s a good player, but not one you lock up and protect at the risk of losing others. He’s our MMac - can’t fucking get dropped.

                The issue is the Blues have almost half a dozen of these clowns clogging up their squad. Collins, Tupou, Apisai, Pulu, Nock,

                    @kiwimurph Yeah poor recruitment over the years is still fucking us over. Wel still have massive holes at hooker, halfback, centre and fullback.

                    Looks like another long season for the Blues.

                      So the Highlanders hoard looseforwards, chiefs have a gaggle of props, Crusaders maintain their tradition of saying we want all the first fives, Hurricanes are heavy on hookers and the Blues have taken what they can.

                          Franchises don't need guitar players in the professional era.

                          That's me saying no I don't think so.

                                        @bovidae Tima Faingaanuku is the only Mako I thought had a decent shot at a contract and hasn't got one.

                                        Salmon got cleaned out of the Blues and I'd guess Alex Ainley has entered a well-earned retirement.
