Cameron Suafoa having treatment for Cancer
@Daffy-Jaffy Horrible news. All the best to him and his medical team for a swift and full recovery.

Obviously I agree with all the sentiments above, I will ask the rugby question though.
The 25-year-old, who has been playing for the Blues this season despite undergoing radiation, is now temporarily stepping away from rugby to focus on his treatment.So he's stepping away from rugby for a while. Have the Blues added anyone to the squad (Annandale?). Or are they comfortable with the locks returning and the depth at loose forward? An extra space in the squad could be useful for when the Japan season ends..

Just watching some footage of Blues practice on CGW and Jason O'Halloran was there. I hope he is well and fully back on deck.

@SBW1 No and he's extremely unlikely to. He's I'm the wider training squad and playing club rugby for college rifles.

I would be interested in what people think about Rieko's form this year. I am not sure what to make of him. I will admit to not watching him closely this season so I had half an eye on him last night. I was hoping for a bit more from him now that he has had a few seasons at centre but he still looks like he is playing out of position to me.
If I am reading Blues MOTM polls correctly he has yet to earn a point. Hell, even Christie has a point.

He’s playing the most like a centre he ever has. For a guy who’s not supposed to have a good passing game, he certainly passing well this season.
Attacking wise, he’s not pushing the pass, is happy to straighten and set up a ruck. Defence has been very good.
Not scoring trys is irrelevant if he’s setting up his outsides, which he is.
Look how much space our wingers are being put into.

Ok cool. I will watch him more closely. Like I said I haven't been keeping a close watch on him. Maybe I saw him at the wrong times last night.
