[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 621437, member: 24910"] I'm not surprised to see the Blues have signed Triggs (as I heard he was being looked at), but I agree with your assessment of him. I have never really rated him very highly as he plays far too loose for my liking. He is experienced and is a good line-out exponent which I think is the main reason he got picked (as Kirwan mentioned they were looking for a middle of the lineout jumper). He is certainly a massive down-grade from Callum Retallick though (who is very under-rated). The only good thing about this is that Jamie Joseph can no longer sign Triggs for the Highlanders, as he is exactly the sort of player he would have signed if one of out locks gets injured ;) [/QUOTE]
