    I imagine if SBW follows Ramadan that certainly doesn't help with injury prevention and recovery?

            I think the whole Blues squad aged a lot during that one season:

              From TV one sports news site.
              Not sure if this should be Blues or Hurricanes news. But then neither does Jordie apparently, according to Sav -
              All Blacks star Jordie Barrett has made a decision on his domestic rugby future, 1 NEWS understands.

              It will be announced next week, according to 1 NEWS Sport presenter Andrew Saville.

              Barrett, who currently plays for the Hurricanes could end up playing for the Blues.

              "Just hearing that Jordie Barrett has made a decision on his rugby future, it will be announced next week. Blues, Hurricanes … Hurricanes, Blues, we're hearing he could swap Super franchises during the tenure of his contract," Saville said during the 6pm 1 NEWS sports segment tonight.

                      The Board is really doing what it needs to do. Our future is bright at last - I think we will continue to be on the upswing ... we're finally becoming a credible destination for talent.

                        @nzzp Getting the back office right is the only way to prevent the groundhog day bullshit we've had to endure.

                        New board, new ceo, sorting out the ownership, and getting better coaches all adds up. That's how you can get a marquee All Black to join your franchise, and keep your talent.

                          Yes, it is all rather disappointing. 🙂

                          I fear that we will no longer be able to mock Auckland like the past decade. Very disappointing. Although we haven't seen the replacement CE (or have we?) so there is still hope!

                            Hammett is probably due a promotion to CEO level.

                                You are confused

                                The Blues are a franchise that was until recently run by a Hamilton politician. With talent identification done by a former Waikato coach

                                The Blues are not Auckland

                                This is Auckland

                                  No Confusion, Blues will always be Auckland and Canes always Wellington and Crusaders always Canterbury etc etc to me.

                                        I just wanted to gloat about being champions while I still can..

                                        I haven't looked at the odds but are you favourites to win again this year or Canterbury?

                                        Can answer my own question

                                        Canterbury $2.50
                                        Ta$man $4
                                        Auckalnd $4.50
                                        Welly $6.50
                                        NH $12
                                        Drive it! $14
                                        and CM $26

                                          Tab: Cant, Ta$man then Auckland

                                          I would say Ta$man favourites with it too close to call for second favourite
