We are sad to announce the departure of one of the greats!
Big Ben Afeaki is heading off to the big apple to take on an awesome opportunity 🗽🗽
Thank you for everything you’ve done here at the Blues! We look forward to watching your journey 💙
I wonder if they will approach Census Johnson. He did very well with Auckland's scrum this season.

That seems likely
Although earlier in this thread @Yeetyaah said that Afoa was going to be involved with the Blues next year

'I still can't really talk about it': Zarn Sullivan on the comeback trail
A freak injury during the NPC stymied Zarn Sullivan's prodigious development.
“That was meant to be six weeks of healing and then we would reassess from there,” he says. “So I was aiming to be back for the Taranaki game, just before the quarter-finals, but it just dragged on and on and on.
“The physios and stuff, we were just trying to smash it with rehab and we noticed that it just wasn’t waking up so I had to get nerve conduction studies and CT scans and MRIs on it. We had to do full-on scanning stuff for it.
“But now we know what’s actually wrong with it, the nerve’s not waking up. So we’ve just got to give it time and then just keep hammering the muscles that are around it that kind of support the same muscle, same nerve.”
Sullivan says the nerve is “still weak” but that he is now aiming for a return to full-contact training on either side of the new year.
“It’s still hard to know. I know it’s getting better, pain-free, and I’m getting through my workload so can hopefully get back into contact whether it’s our last week of pre-season in 2022 or the start of pre-season next year. I know it’s coming soon but yeah, still just got to take my time.”

@Dan54 said in All Blacks 10 after BB & RM finish?:
I not sure if I should mention his name ,(haven't checked thread), but I actually was a real Zarn Sullivan fan a couple of years back, and could see him at 10. Has that door closed do you think, like his booming left foot etc, and wouldn't mind seeing him get a few runs for Blues this year.
Is that a likely proposition given Perofeta would be looking for all the game time he can get when Beaudy isn't playing?
