    @Toddy
    Jacobson 3 runs 2 meters
    Blackadder 6 runs 38 meters
    And they had virtually the same tackle stats.

    Ofa out for the season (having been fairly shit), EDG struggling for the Highlanders, Numia hardly setting the world alight… loosehead prop shaping as one of the more intriguing selection dilemmas.

    Rhys Duggan for life!
    (i have a soft spot for our "close but not quite" battlers)

    Duggan was a gun. I'm glad he got test capped.

    always claimed I motivated rat to becoming a all black.As back when he just starting out in club rugby I was playing against him. tackled him probably would be sin bined now and told him to go back to school


  • Blues 2025

    @brodean said in Blues 2025:

    So I'm wondering how we will go next year. We need to replace these guys:

    Ioane, Plummer, Tele'a, Riccitelli, Suafoa, and Choat.

    It's a second year in a row we will need to replace key players.

    Ioane, Plummer, Tele'a, Riccitelli have been star players for us and Suafoa/Choat have been key squad members racking up plenty of game time with a lot of starts and experience. We will need to spend some dollars to get players of similar quality.

    I'm not a 100% sure who is available but will throw some names out there who are or might be off contract.

    Ioane/Plummer - Obviously Rieko and Plummer are massive losses. That said I thought Lam was our best centre last year so he's an option there. At the moment Lam would be the best 12 and 13 option with Ioane gone. Maybe a Taele and Lam partnership.

    With Plummer and Ioane going they need two midfield options plus someone who can cover 10. It's worth keeping a hold of Grindlay if we can and developing him.

    Another option might be to bring Sullivan in as a midfield option at 12 if Perofeta and Forbes are still available.

    In terms of squad replacements for those two potentially Kaleb Trask, Quinn Tupaea, Rameka Poihipi, Gideon Wrampling, Levi Aumua, and Thomas Umaga Jensen.

    Tele'a - Off the top of my head Tito-Harris and Mathis could be options. Tele'a was key to our success and he didn't have the same impact this year which I think was telling. Would have been good if we kept anyone of Kade Banks, Caleb Tangitau or Kneepkins.

    Potentially Etene Nanai Seturo, Kade Banks or Dan Sinkinson, Oli Mathis, Xavier Tito Harris.

    Riccitelli - potentially the hardest to replace. A key team member of our success that has helped us develop a rock solid set piece and winning the collisions. Very high workrate. Potentials - Bradley Slater, Ioane Moananu, George Bell, Sione Vikena, Ray Tuputupu and Vernon Bason. Ideally it would be someone with a lot of experience like Slater or someone with a lot of potential like Bell or Tuputupu.

    Suafoa, and Choat - Sadly I can't see Cameron Suafoa making a come back even in remission. Cameron Suafoa obviously covered 6, 8 and lock. He was a player of huge potential and seemed like a great person too.

    Choat has been a reliable workhorse and servant for the Blues.

    He was a key component of our more success in recent years being a good professional example for younger players.

    Potential replacements - Rob Rush, Lotu Inisi, Semisi Tupou Ta'eiloa, Sione Havili Talitui, Zach Gallagher, James Thompson, Malachi Wrampling-Alec, Jimmy Tupou, Mitchell Dunshea, Oliver Haig, Xavier Saifoloi, and Ethan Blackadder

    heres a idea pick your own players and develop them. you have the biggest catchment and all you want to do it pick out of other sides
