Fair enough - I would have checked myself, but frankly I couldn't be arsed.
My memory was that Hall had lost his place after a drubbing in South Africa and Guyton played most of the remainder. Evidently incorrect. Possibly slanted by my impression that the previous season he also started out as number one halfback but gradually got supplanted by the other Mako$ halfback, Jimmy Cowan - possibly also incorrect (I haven't checked).Bryn Hall didn't play the year prior (2015) as he was out pretty much all season injured. I don't think he played one minute for the Blues in 2015.
But yes Guyton was contracted for another year (2017) and they have young Nock signed up for a while. Based on this Blues would have known this when they signed Pulu that Hall would go.

Well, let's hope he turns out to be fucking good at the Crusaders. A revelation who is two steps up on Drummie would be most welcome!

Fuck Bryn Hall and Leon Fukofuka as the 2 halfbacks to choose from would hardly inspire me with confidence (both Blues outcasts as well). Maybe Jono Hickey could join as cover for Drummond as well.

They have tried to sign him before.

@Tim Hahaha forgot about that. Northern Districts blocked it didn't they? Fuck talk about scraping the barrel....

Blues re-signed for 2017 campaign: Prattley, Francis, Scrafton, Cowley-Tuioti, Mafileo, Kara Pryor

@KiwiMurph Source?

Francis has developed quite well IMO. It will be good to have him and West backing Jordie Barrett up in that 10 spot next season.
-
Where's he gonna play in the Blues backline? SBW and Moala will be fighting it out at 12. So does Tana ruin all the time invested into Ihaia West and pick Piers at 10?
@Wurzel Unlikely, he'll probably be bench cover, but will start the season at 12 with SBWs injury.

Confirmed Jordie Barrett to the Canes for 2 years.
Wow. Good signing for wellington and he is a better kicker than his brother no?

@hydro11 said in Super Rugby News: Injuries:
I imagine he will be slotting in at fullback next season.
What is NMS's preferred position? Fullback or wing? Jane has still one year on his contract, hasn't he?
With both Woodward and Marshall going, will the other newbie be Peter Umaga-Jensen?I guess the likes of Mason Emerson and Jonah Lowe will miss out again at the Canes?

Interesting interview with Jordie:
