@Stargazer I take it that's just team rookies not actual newbies to super rugby.
@Bones I think it might be full contracts?
HYland was called into Blues in 2018, called into HIghlanders 2019 but this is his first full contract, similarly Reece was only initially injury cover last year wasnt he?
I see Isi Tu'ungafasi listed as Northland, I believe he is now a cantab...

@taniwharugby I think so, too. Danny Toala was signed by the Canes (full contract) for 2020 and 2021 in April, but already played 3 games for them in 2019.

@Daffy-Jaffy How old is that? Surely Scott Robertson should be in those stats (with a high/the highest win%)?
@Stargazer 47 games 39 wins 3 draws ( highlanders game that was cancelled included) 5 losses. So 82.7% if you included highlanders game or 84.7% if you don’t.

Either way, Top Dog as it stands

Hey lads, I've broken down my thoughts on the chiefs, blues and rebels for 2020. Still working on my editing skills but tried my best - was hard for me to have the confidence to share this.
I don't really have any credentials to my name but I love rugby and placed top 20 in fantasy rugby three years in a row haha.
Would appreciate any support!

@Ruggy Well done.
A couple of constructive comments:
(1) Laulala is not a LH prop so he won't ever be wearing the no.1 jersey. Moli and Ross to share the workload on the LH side.
(2) Jacobson will be in the no.6 or no.8 jersey, depending on the loose forward mix.I'm sure you will be getting comments on YT about the "Waikato" Chiefs.

I don't understand why boards don't look at the pony tailed clown after a presentation and ask "you don't expect me to pay for that crap do you?"

I don't mind the designs themselves but seriously question whether their use for purpose is understood.
If you want to create strong fandom and attachment you need to stick to simple colours. The whole reason you have teams called Reds or Blues etc is because that is how fans of other teams described their attachment. Look how gangs will use colours as symbols, or countries in the past with banners and uniforms.Chiefs need to stick heavily to their yellow, black and red. Blues need to be one shade of Blue not five.
Give fans a reason to wear a collared scarf or hat etc and nail those colours to a mast.The other stuff is fine for training kit but match kit should be simple

Their purpose is to be sold. So they need to be clearly differentiated from year to year and stand out on the rack in a shop that probably has at least a dozen different sport teams and probably more.

The Highlanders jersey looks like it originally started out a dark blue but has been through too many hot washes and has faded badly to get to then look it has in the photo above. Interesting to note there is no sponsor name on the front of the Crusaders jersey, it would suit SBW ideally as it saves him the expense of having to tape over any offending advertising on it! Could this be an indicator of a sudden change on mind and a return to his first Super Rugby franchise might be imminent?

I didn't notice that. I do prefer the jerseys without being plastered in adverts.
Maybe just winning the comp year after year is enough to forego any sponsorships?
