Blues 2024

@KiwiMurph still probably the best option to get the Blues backline to its potential.

Darry is 2.07m? The Blues website has him at 2.03m.

Good technique Rieko

While the Blues are now two-and-two to start their campaign new head coach Cotter has issues at lock after losing Sam Darry to a serious knee injury. Darry’s injury further compounds captain Patrick Tuipulotu’s absence with a broken jaw.

I certainly hope that Darry isn't out for long. As McWhannell is injury prone too, we could soon be down to one specialist lock, and a rookie at that.
Currently fit are McWhannell and Beehre, and the lock/sixes Suafoa and Thompson (also a rookie). Who is the next choice to bring into the squad? Annandale? Not many others are available. Maybe Hallam-Eames?

I'd understand if they were overseas players (people seem to slip up on metric conversions)...

@Tim Hallam-Eames is in MLR as far as I know, Caird has been with the Blues for a few weeks I believe.

Annandale played a preseason game but went off with an injury. No idea what the injury was or if he is healthy now
Yeah we can’t afford anymore injuries but I’m pretty comfortable going into most games with McWhannell, Beehre & Suafoa
On the positive side the lock injuries have built depth fast. Everyone has stood up so far. When (if) everyone gets fit it’s going to be a tough selection. Similar to the loosies - two guys good enough to start won’t make the 23
