Chiefs 2019

[Dice]

@Stargazer Where is James Tucker?

I can only assume he's injured if these guys are getting called up instead of him.

[Yeetyaah]

@Dice He was in the crowd at the Chiefs vs Sharks game and he seemed fine, no braces on any limbs or anything like that. I also wondered the same thing when I saw him.

[Dice]

@Yeetyaah It's strange if there's nothing wrong with him and he's not called up, because he was one of the best locks/blindsides in the NPC. I don't think anyone has heard of the two guys called up.

[Yeetyaah]

@Dice Yeah I saw the Daymon dude warming up at the Chiefs v Blues game and was trying to post and say he was warming up but couldn't remember the name at all. Tucker is class.

I'm still thinking we'll see a fair bit of a Cane Savea Read back 3 in the big RWC games

[Stargazer]

Does anyone know whether Mitch Karpik is still injured and whether he's out for a long time, or not?

I'm working on a blog post and need this info.

[Snollygoster]

He was listed as a reserve to play club rugby for Rangatau In Tauranga last weekend.

[Stargazer]

@Snollygoster Thanks! So, he's back from injury then. I'll look out for this weekend's line-ups to be sure.

[taniwharugby]

freeing him up for the top job...

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Or not. I just can't see him as an ABs head coach. Assistant?

[mrfc]

Apparantly Foster wants him as an assistant if Foster is given the ab's job

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer Tews job

[Nepia]

Uh oh, who’s going to replace him?

Anyone? I'm available. What about you @nepia? we could dual coach them and do a better job

[Stargazer]

@Nepia If he left two years later, I'd say Gatland, but now? Is there a Mitre 10 Cup coach ready for the step up?

[Toddy]

Was Cooper really that bad? The initial woes for the Chiefs were DMac at first five. The team just couldn't gel with him there. It was mostly on the up after that.

Sure they didn't over achieve but they finished about where they should for the squad and injuries they had.

The Waikato-Magpies Chiefs has a nice ring to it!
