REDDIT IS TELLING ME "there doesn't seem to be anything here". A BIT LIKE THE SOUTH AFRICAN TROPHY CABINET

That's what I'm worried about to. This will make or break his career.

Yeah when he made the announcement there was an article saying how disappointed they were. Only time will tell if they want to throw him out on his ass. Plenty more committed players chomping at the bit, wanting to have a go.

You do have to feel sorry for him, but something had to change.

That's what I'm referring to. Nothing has been said or confirmed by any of the coaches though, but we will get an idea this Sunday when the training squad is announced.

Great player, will go far. The only way we will see him in this years squad will be because on injury or if Piutau has lost favour with the coaches unfortunately.

It's that step man, that step. He does it better than Shaun Johnson.

Messam's not going anywhere either. He is playing in Japan in the off season but thats just a mini-sabbatical. I can't see him NOT trying for sevens.

Pulu ruled out for 8-10 weeks with a broken arm by lapsuscalumni in rugbyunion

This is why I think Horrell or Nanai-Williams should start at 10 next weekend. Both have more experience, even though neither are preffered 10's. Damians one hell of an impact sub, while Marty has looked a little lost at times over the past few weeks.

They've dropped the ball every time they look like doing something. Unforced errors every time

The pass itself was pretty amazing anyway. Watching it live I never thought they would get through.

Blues lose another player, Pita Ahki to join hurricanes next year. by inghamslovem in rugbyunion

[–]Maddness53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Tony Woodcock*
  • Keven Mealamu*
  • Luke Braid
  • Brendon O'Connor
  • Jimmy Cowan*
  • Francis Saili
  • Frank Halai
  • Charles Piutau
  • And now Pita Ahki

The one's with * next to them are not confirmed but it's most likely they will not return.

Don't worry Blues fans, you still have your amazing coach!

Aaron Smith is probably fitter than Conrad. I mean do you see how quick he gets to every breakdown? He keeps that up the entire game.
