        The Chiefs haven't regularly announced contract lengths so it's hard to know who is signed, and for how long, unless there has been a media release. For some players, their "known" contract has long ended.

        Based on what is available, a lot are signed until 2026, 2027 or even 2029 (DMac).

        Stevenson is another who will leave. Tupou signed a 2-yr contract, so might not be re-signed.

            Ahio was signed until 2026. I think I posted the details at the time.

              With alb leaving we need a quality center, ens should replace Stevenson at fullback

                @cliff I can't see any issue with Rona - seems to be rather underrated (at least in media circles). Rarely puts a foot wrong and does a lot right (while being shuffled around the backline).

                  Rona is perfectly fine. Poihipi should be back, Wrampling can play 12 or 13, so there are options. I would prefer more depth on the wing, especially if ENS moves to fullback.

                      Why? The issue is back 3. Plenty of midfield options

                        Reckon ENS could do well there, but maybe wait until 2027, very Mils like.

                          @Bones ENS was a centre at St Kents. I think he can be more dangerous at fullback with the extra space.

                            Ok I'll figure out what fullback is similar to Leon and we can move him instead.

                              DMac is a bit like Cully, why not move him to centre.

                                        Not for a while - again.

                                        He was playing for Fraser Tech today on his return from his knee injury but only lasted about 10 mins before pulling a hamstring. He made a few good runs in that time, including when he did the hammy.

                                        The bye will come at a good time for Rona's HIA too.
