@Nogusta said in Blues 2024:
Taavao will also be back at the Blues next year.
Never rated the guy, will be 34 in March 2024 for me hes just a stop gap measure
@Steven-Harris Yeah I'm in the same boat. Not a great scrummager, ok around the paddock but thats about it. Would rather have gone with Ahio personally.

@Kirwan Good snag , there was a bit of work behind the scences that went into resigning Perofeta.
There 2 other franchise’s at play. -
Good news for nz rugby with Mo'unga and Beauden (still to be 100% confirmed?) heading offshore.
He should have clear air for the Blues 10 jersey next season.
I'm a bit miffed why he doesn't play 10 more for the Naki (or the Blues for that matter) - an example of the fragmented nature of the NZ system - probably the 2nd best 10 in NZ going into next season and he's played very little 10 this year for either Blues or Naki.

@KiwiMurph Naki are bloody spoilt for choices with both Jacomb who has been super impressive and Jason Potroz has been the perfect foil off the bench
I do say all this begrudgingly. -

I do say all this begrudgingly.@Steven-Harris I understand that. But from a NZ rugby point of view Potroz won't even play Super and Jacomb will likely get very little to no game time as a newbie. Meanwhile a capped AB 10 who will be second in line on paper in the country next season hasn't been playing 10.

Excellent
Feels a make or break year for Akira with Cotter at the Blues and Razor at the ABs combined with the likes of Frizell and Ardie not being around for the ABs

It would be hilarious if Akira became a mainstay under Razor.

Akira Ioane won't play for the ABs ever again... Jase Ryan I think just about gets full say on his forward pack, and he turfed out Ioane this year, and with Frizell the only one departing, I don't see where the gap is. Will be behind Blackadder, Finau and quite possibly some new young talent.

@frugby Yeah, hard to disagree with that.
