Kerr out for Season! Blues Chances Gone??

16 weeks for broken fingers! I don't even want to know what state they were in...

Excited to see West given a shot at the super level, as soon as he's up to speed of start him ahead of Noakes, we know what Noakes can offer and its not the answer.

Well, unless there is something I don't know, there look to be some interesting selections here. Hickey dropped from the squad completely, Noakes to start, BENJI as 10 cover (would be interesting if Noakes went down in the first 5 minutes).
Blues team:
Charles Piutau, George Moala, Francis Saili, Ma'a Nonu, Lolagi Visinia, Chris Noakes, Bryn Hall, Jerome Kaino, Luke Braid (c), Steven Luatua, Tom Donnelly, Patrick Tuipulotu, Charles Piutau, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock
Reserves: James Parsons, Sam Prattley, Angus Ta'avao, Liaki Moli, Brendon O'Connor, Jamison Gibson-Park, Benji Marshall, Frank Halai.

yeah ive been thinking the exact same everytime hes been named as first five cover. its like what i was saying, hickey or even west would be more appropriate first five cover, but JK feels pressure to put benji somewhere. hes a burden to squad...
