    Pierce doesn't look as tall as he's listed at.

    Isn't the rumour that Ofa is heading south?

    @Bovidae There was from some of our Cantabs, but I haven't heard anything since. He'd need to be released from his Blues contract if that was the case.

    @Tim I keep on wondering whether that rumour was started by someone who confused Ofa with Isi.

    @Tim I reckon Matich would thrive as a fulltime super player, probably at 6 though, similarly Matiu, easily our best and most consistent performer this year.

    I know he (Matich) was a late signing for Northland this year (possibly only single season) so not sure what his plans are from here.

    @taniwharugby Thought he was really good coming off the bench for the Blues this year. Think he played mostly at 7 for them.

    Any news on Tony Hanks?

    Seems that he's the last of the old guard.

    I think @Nogusta said it too? He's correct more often than not

    @African-Monkey he literally had an about turn at the 11th hour and is staying at the Blues now.

    @Nogusta Well there we have it guys. It would be a bit low of him to leave a team that has invested so much in him to become a glory hunter.

    @African-Monkey he didn't not want to be a part of the Blues revival 😁

    Would also be interesting to know if Renata is returning as a tighthead prop.

    Interested in peoples perspective of SBW now he's been injury free for a bit. Seems a key cog in the All Black machine, and you can kind of see why the coaches stuck with him for as long as they did.

    I'd take a fit SBW at the Blues in a heartbeat. Would be good to see a squad that didn't have five 12s in it though

    Now that the NPC round robin is over, who should be the hookers?

    Parsons has been signed, and there's a good source saying that Niuia has been too, though it's not known if he will be a full squad member.

    Unsigned possibles:

    Eklund
    Abel (Waratahs may be after him)
    Apisai
    Luteru Tolai
    Olsen

    Tahs confirmed on Abel.
