@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.

He'll be at halfback.

Players that are definitely not coming back are alb and Aidan ross I hope we can create space for oli Mathis, we definitely need another quality winger the likes of mataele and Liam coombes fabling are too average

Where is Ross off to?

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.

[Bovidae]

Re-signs until 2027.

@Bovidae incredible news. Honestly I was worried he'd go home to the Blues considering he's from AKL and was their u20s captain. Fucking stoked.

[SouthernMann]

@Daffy-Jaffy surely he is being promised a starting spot. Wonder what their back three will.look like to have him slot in there.

[Bovidae]

I'm not sure what ENS's contract situation is, but he would be the most likely to move to fullback. But there's still Narawa and Carter.

[Tim]

@Bovidae Is Stevenson confirmed to be leaving?

[Bovidae]

@Tim Stevenson is off-contract and going back to the Kubota Spears AFAIK.

Article seems to work here

[Yeetyaah]

Just had the Kyren signing confirmed from a contact. Signed 3 months ago I'm told.

[SouthernMann]

I'm glad the struggling Chiefs have managed to add some much needed firepower to their pop-gun backline

Who was that NPC player who played for Waikato on the wing last year but is actually a loose forward? Forgot his name.
