      @Yeetyaah Sounds like a classic case of Chinese whispers… “Wrampling is leaving”

      Turns out it was Malachi to the Blues.

        Jeez I hope this is true. He is one of the better young midfielders going round at the moment. A couple of disappointing moments for him this year but I think he has the physical attributes to go far. Jury is still out on the mental side though.

              Shame to see him go, felt like he was teetering on the precipice of being a very good player but thanks to injuries we never quite saw the best of him.

              Can see him having a very successful career in Japan.

                  So there might be room for a new midfield back.

                    Foketi, right? Wrampling has signed on for another season.

                    Otherwise, get Hake Wiseman in the environment.

                    What a loss none the less, a great plug and play guy, without being freakish like Rona or Wrampling, far more consistent when fit.

                      Foketi will be ALB's replacement. If Gibbes and co want a fifth midfield option another will be needed. Gibson Popoali'i was part of the wider squad.

                      Otherwise, get Hake Wiseman in the environment.

                      He will be one of the NDC players but too early to make the step up.

                        Good point, forgot about ALB's sabbatical. Popoali'i, he go alright?

                            The Hurricanes and Force were also keen to sign Taumoefolau.

                              Can see Taumoefolau and Isaac Hutchinson forming part of a lethal back three for the Chiefs in the years to come

                                  To be fair, aside from eligibility and standard of play, a choice between Perth or Hamilton isn't necessarily clearcut.

                                        The Chiefs fucked that up this year, he should have had a full contract.

                                          Lived in Hamilton, I loved it, Kiwis, particularly from the regions, are just infatuated with Perth. It's a city with a great climate and likely better career prospects.
