So there might be room for a new midfield back.
Foketi, right? Wrampling has signed on for another season.
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.

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

Force
Fark must have been hard to turn that one down
To be fair, aside from eligibility and standard of play, a choice between Perth or Hamilton isn't necessarily clearcut.

@WoodysRFC ehh Hamilton hate is so forced.
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.

Sounding like a done deal with Mathis. Based on his reaction when the question was raised to him on the CGW last week, I’d say he’s already signed the contract.

It is a bit. It's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.

Perth is a fucking shithole. A boring town a million miles from anywhere, flat, full of really fucking weird people. Inflated prices for everything thanks to FIFO money. Freo is okay, but there are a lot of deros in Freo as well.
I'll never go back without a really good reason

Hey hey, no way to speak about my new home town like that!
Anyway, as you were Chiefs fans.

I know the name has been floated in here but I’ve just had confirmation from an extremely reliable source that Isaac Hutchinson has signed on with the Chiefs for next year(unsure of contract length) and sounds like may be joining Waikato too.
ACL was done in club rugby at the back end of the season so won’t be seen until next year.
