Shit - not much room to make improvements.
Keep Karl T and Stevenson for sure. Or, try to carry 7 and secure them all as mentioned by @Bovidae
We need a lock - time to go hunt in Canterbury again.
Is McNicol going to be able to play? Might be time for him to get cut, in which case I'd chase Little (or Nonu!) and another midfielder/wing.
-
im happy where we are at. We need to stock up on wingers and midfield backs. So are pleased that some of them arnt signed for next year.Dont know if we can keep all our props.
for me re sign Taukei'aho
hoeata
Pulu
Stevenson
Tu'inukuafe
Ta'avao
SullivanRoss unlucky and would be a great pickup for some one else

Is Aaron Goile reading the Fern? That list of players looks remarkably like mine in the first post of this thread. He forgot only one name.
@stargazer It's more than likely.
It's been noted by some of the media people who used to post here that a lot of media people do read here.
So when you're busy saying how much you hate a particular commentator, be aware that they might read about it!

@chris-b Commentators, please stop telling me what school a kid went to. Especially if he was a poach.

…...and please, when someone scores a short range try the words 'unstoppable from that close' should only be used when someone genuinely is unstoppable from that close. (hint: think about how next time they try it someone might stop them)

@cgrant who wouldn't want to move to the Saders? I know you're back up to Moody but fuck how good will you look

@booboo They make the shittest players look like world beaters (Bryn Hall, George Bridge, Heiden Bedwell Curtis etc.) so yes you'd jump at the chance to go there.

Great teams will make honest players look good and good players look great. Crap teams will have the opposite effect.
That of course being the case, Chiefs fans had better be mindful of who they sign up for next season eg look for Hamish Dalziel to make a big impression for Canterbury but if signed by the Chiefs, look out.

so, if i am reading this right, the Chiefs should have more players in the All Blacks? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
