@tim They could be needing 4 Locks due to Goodhue having worrying head knock problems again. From the rumors it seems likely Romano and James Tucker will be 2 of them. After them who knows.

@tim I think they will keep James Lay as the 3rd Loosehead. He was rock solid early this season before his injury. They will need his experience early next year until the All Black props return to play post tour. Unless MP lure him away.

Nisbo confirmed James Tucker back to the Brumbies
In an article on stuff today Hinton says that Tucker will be at the Blues. Who do we believe?
If so the Lock group may be Romano, Goodhue, Tucker, Darry, Plumtree. With Robinson and Suafoa covering 6/Lock. -
@daffy-jaffy I've only seen Plumtree play a few times but surely he's more of a 6 than a lock? Particularly at Super level.

Probably, but we (NZ) struggle with depth at lock

@daffy-jaffy i do wonder if James Tucker signed with the Brumbies at the top of the year thinking he had no chance of picking up an NZ contract but the departure of PT ,GTC and Pearce has seen Coventry get involved,from what i have heard he has been keen on James Tucker for a while.
Not to mention the intervention of Covid 19 upsetting the applecart.
As for Nisbo,i am more likely to believe Hinton -
@steven-harris Any update on Goodhue's head knock?
-
@daffy-jaffy he stayed in for an extra few hours at Rotorua hospital after wednesday eveings game as a precaution ,early signs ok,but there was an issue with his neck as well..its a concern no question,will do a bit of a follow up during the week
