    A few random thoughts came to my mind for no real reason.

    Is Sam Nock the most capped Blues halfback of all time?

    Harry Plummer has played 88 games for the Blues, and has only 1 try!

        Crazy when you think about it, and how long he's taken to get there.

            I'm still really dispapointed that he never kicked on. Had all the attributes to be dynamite - but just didn't show it on the park. Still someone I like to watch (albeit in a frustrated way at times)

              Yeah as a few of us pointed out, he had the tools, but lacked a bit of confidence to go and fight for possession and was usually in 2 minds as to what to do at times. Was very standoffish with his play in the first few years.

              I tell you what, if you mixed Sam Nock's skillet with Fin Christie's aggression and fight, we'd have a hell of a halfback on our hands.

                    I heard another wing signing as well by the Blues. Might just need to double check it.

                        My guess (and hope) would be Tito-Harris. He's been out injured from the sevens all season so may be ready for a return to XV's.

                          @Daffy-Jaffy well my mail was George Bridge but I've just seen an article about him likely linking up with the Force so maybe not.

                            Why can't we sign Ollie Mathis? The most exciting talent in NZ rugby since Ardie Savea. It's criminal that he wasn't signed by somebody last year. Another example of talent being ignored for experience by conservative NZ Super coaches.

                              Wing is a spot I'd like to see us focus on new young talent.

                              Caleb is around as the experienced wing - there's room for a young win to fight for the 14 jersey/a spot in the 23.

                                    Trying to think, it would be like Akira Ioane signing for the Crusaders or something.

                                      @Daffy-Jaffy well my mail was George Bridge but I've just seen an article about him likely linking up with the Force so maybe not.

                                      Now that would be awkward if he came here.....

                                      How good! Stuff dreams are made of.

                                      Trying to think, it would be like Akira Ioane signing for the Crusaders or something.

                                      Or Ali Williams.

                                        Great effort from the boys last night, and congrats to Rieko on breaking the try scoring record which had stood for 18 years.

                                        Some great servants are departing. All the best to them, they all did the jersey proud.

                                          Yeah it was a good effort and we basically lost a bit of momentum when the two hookers were on. Then gained a prop but lost Hoskins

                                          With Hoskins off there wasn't anyone left to convert those final phases.
