Arguably the form player for the Blues last year before his season was cut short through injury, Chris Lowrey received the Blues' Rookie of the Year award and looks set to continue his fine form this year.

The 2004 Mount Albert Grammar School head boy has tremendous speed, strong cover defence and was selected to play for the NZ Colts against Canada in 2007.
