Mika Muliaina for ‘28?
-
Very easy to make the argument to him now.
Come learn from Dmac and from 2028 you may have the keys.
At the landers, Jacomb could be an AB by that time. -
-
Brodie McAlister? Don’t think so but not sure lineout throwing is his bag either.
-
Trask is definitely going to Japan (replaced by Tepaea Cook-Savage), and Cashmore will be Godfrey's injury replacement at the Hurricanes. It means that the Chiefs will be reluctant to release Jacomb early.

Shit that's not good re Cashmore. Wonder where they go from here.
McClutchie come on down.
-
The Chiefs loosie rotation will be a sight to behold next year. Some quality guys will be playing club rugby or B footy!
-
@SouthernMann might be time to give Boshier the captaincy

Could the canterbury who the chiefs signed play flyhalf
He has played there before but not at a high level,but he is more a FB/Wing.
Assume that's Hutchinson?

I wish we signed gibson popoalii instead of foketi
Popoalii spent time with the Chiefs and MP this season. I can only assume that centre cover was needed more than a 2nd 5, and Foketi can also play on the wing if needed. Maybe part of the WTG again.

It could be totally wrong here, but given Trask has been down to leave for a while, and Jacomb has clearly been negotiating with the Highlanders for a while, if the Chiefs thought Cashmore was any good, would they not have locked him in?
Feels like a case of fans rating him more than coaches?

Yes, Trask's move back to Japan has been known for a while. He is injury-prone, and as the article said only played 15 mins this year, before going off injured in the Force game. Another hamstring injury at the moment too.
The point is that there are even less options for the Chiefs now, unless they get a 1st 5 from another SR team. That will have a domino effect for NZR.

Could we offer you Cam Millar?

@SouthernMann Would you give up Mika Muliana?
