    Stephen Perofeta will likely get his shot at the big time this year with Otere Black out. Staring 10, playing outside captain Pulu at 9 and inside SBW at 12 (if fit). Perofeta has had a year in the Blues system so 2018 looks the ideal time to unleash him.

    I'd also keep an eye out for midfielder Thomas Umaga-Jensen at the Highlanders - the size speed and nous of that kid for a youngster was really impressive for Wellington in the Mitre 10 Cup.

    @kiwimurph Unfortunately Thomas Umaga Jensen has just had surgery on a shoulder injury he picked up in the Mitre ten cup, so he's out of action until April. Which is a real shame as he looks like he has loads of potential

        The prop or the fullback?

          @booboo what's a prop?

          We have 2 aging fullbacks and two who everyone else want to shift positions. We desperately need someone else to stand up...

            The new Chiefs CEO? Makes sense. All eyes will be on the end of year function.

              I can honestly say the super whatever final was on the screens in the gym the other day and i was watching the screen because I had forgotten who won. This current iteration is just so forgettable

              The Australians will catch my eye, and to a lessor extent the saffers. Because if they both suck again the concept is doomed. And then eventually so are we

                @mariner4life The Aussie teams will be better.

                The Rebels are a lot stronger on paper thanks to picking up players from the Force and also picking up the best Aussie Super coach Wessels.

                The Reds meanwhile should be much better off with Thorn as coach (who had some impressive results with QLD Country) instead of that fat fuck Stiles.

                Tahs have brought in Simon Cron (yes that Cron clan) who coached Norths to the Sydney club title.

                    @chris-b look. I was as surprised as you. First it took me a while to work out it was the final. And then i realised i couldn't remember the result (it was the first time i had actually seen the game)

                      Now this part I can accept.

                      BUT...a fucking Chiefs' fan would dare to turn up on this fucking bored and dare to claim that he can't fucking remember who won....

                      You're right...Super rugby is fucked unless this is the dawn of a new era...an era like the old one where only the classy team(s) would win.

                      But, what most upsets me is that fucker @canerbry. Lounging on New Brighton beach, sipping a Wigram Mustang APA, and re-reading "Grizz the Legend". Immersed in Gifford's witty repartee he's turned his bat signal off. Collected his Christmas bonus - "haha my work's done for the year mate".

                      Fucking millennials - no work ethic!

                      My New Years is already ruined!

                        Just a forgettable crusaders outfit i guess.

                        Learn to win with panache and just maybe people will bother to remember them

                                  He's doing it wrong he should ask for his money back.

                                  I think Fidow and Aumua will be the best running front row combo since Os Du Randt and Naka Drotske back in the the day.

                                  Check out the bumping off his own teammate, running over Pailate Fili then the beautiful offload. SBW ain't got shit on him.
