Director of High Performance, Andrew Russell, provides an update on Patrick Cripps, Brodie Kemp and Nic Newman.

“Nic is the definition of a player who does everything he can to get the very best out of himself. Those players have a fantastic influence on your football club so we are rapt Nic has signed on for next year,” Blues Head of List Management Nick Austin said.
