Then there is the Shannon Frizzle conversation, were will he end up ? Crusaders, Blues , any rumors out there.

If he comes back, where would be best for NZ Rugby? Seems like the national coaches want to see Haig, Blackadder, Jacobsen and Sititi starting every week. The Hurricanes are pretty set too. So the Blues are the best landing spot?

Maybe to the Crusaders swap for Blackadder if he takes up the Japanese offer for end of 2025.

3rd 9 would be Preston I'd imagine. He's done enough.

I hope Harkin get's Morgan's spot.

Isn't there a rumour Preston has signed with the Saders? Or am I thinking of someone else?

[george33]

@Chris I'm thinking Blues, think him and Vern have had conversations, his contract in Japan was only 1 season? Or was it 2.

[george33]

@Steven-Harris what is the story on Leo Gordon didn't he shift to Northland , great young talent that boy., Injury?

I know Frizell was down with Mounga and the Crusaders for a couple of months when they came back from Japan.
They were at trainings and Crusaders games.

[Steven Harris]

@george33 he was offered to Northland preseason by Auckland but ended up at Harbour saw him listed early in the season on the Development team team sheet but then disappeared off the scene
Looked really good in the Blues U20s a couple years back

if QT leaving the Chiefs I'm sure we would be keen. why wouldn't the blues just grab holaholo?

[Bovidae]

Halaholo is 34.

[ploughboy]

@Bovidae didnt realize he was that old.

[Bovidae]

I remember Halaholo playing for Waikato in 2016, and he spent 3 seasons with Southland before that.

@george33 said in Super Rugby 2025:

@African-Monkey Che Clark might have something to say about that.

Clark needs to work on his defence. I can't see him pushing for a starting spot til 2026

[brodean]

Yeah I don't see Clark being closed to Segner or Suafoa at the moment.

[African Monkey]

Looks like he still has a bit of filling out to do as well (which no doubt he will over the next year or 2).

[george33]

Sounds like Moana Pacifica goin to announce another big Signing, RM has been mentioned.

RM has been mentioned.

woah!

[Chris]

It is not RM,He is back to Japan then theCrusaders in 2026, Mark Telea also mentioned.

[KiwiMurph]

Blues would be bleeding wingers if it was Telea. They've already lost Tangitau and Banks

Telea and Ardie do have a strong relationship though.
