@Tim said in Blues 2026:

Any news on Kitiona Vai?

Back with NZ Sevens -

@Tim Steven Harris had some oil that Terrell Peita is with the Blues. He was excellent for Northland this season and covers all 3 backrow positions.

@Tim Hamdahn is off to Toyota Verblitz.

@Tim No, just googled. I think Miracle Faiilagi is off contract at the end of 26.

@Tim Tito is a loosehead and is likely with MP again.

@Tim Hamdahn Tuipulotu is another tight head possibility. He was with them this year as a replacement. I think Tupaea mayl start in the full squad at least as cover for Ofa or Lay who are both injured at present and may not be ready to start the season.

@Tim said in Blues 2026:

Feleti Sae-Taʻufoʻou

He is signed with MP through 2027.

@Tim Manawatu and Kamaishi Tighthead Flyn Yates is apparently in along with Codi Vai and young centre James Cameron. Tito-Harris is with the Landers.

@Tim Yep, to Sayama Secom -

From Sam Slade's Instagram. It appears that Choat ahs sorted his Visa.

@Duluth I would too. but I fear him ending up in the Crusaders wider group replacing Trainor who withdrew to return to MLR. Also suspect our coach does not rate smaller backs, hence loosing Tito-Harris while signing bodies like Paul, Vai and Suanoa. We always produce big strong athletes. The fast, nimble quick thinkers are rare we should protect them when we find them.

@brodean Spencer signed until end of 26. Paul is off contract this year but may be re-signed. He looked useful coming back from injury for BOP late in the NPC.
Codi Vai may be there. He was not with NZ Sevens last weekend. Kade Banks is also a possibility.
The Props selections will be interesting. Ofa's injury (we had rumors on here of possible medical retirement). Gus gone, Sheck off contract, the invisible man Ben Ake who has been with Auckland and the Blues for 3 seasons and played 6 times for Auckland in 23 and nothing since. Amazingly he still has 2 years to run on his 5 year Blues contract having yet to play due mostly to long term injury. The fact they have 3 props in the above rumored wider training group suggests they have injury concerns or will drop from 7 props to six this season allowing for an extra loose forward/lock.
