    There will be opportunities on the wings. The problem is that 2 players who could play on the wing would rather be playing fullback.

      ENS showed very good metres gained in NPC and broken tackles. His big work on is what to do once that run finishes. Lots of times he held on two steps too long. If he was a hungus that was still getting through and scoring in those situations it wouldn’t be so bad, but Masaga he isn’t.
      Good coaching can work on that. He is definitely finding a way to play with big boys and with less room.

                And sweeping around to collect the missed tackles?

                      I was kind of hoping there would be a new signing that no one knew about.

                        @Bovidae same but I kinda had a feeling it'd be these 2. Pretty stoked on them both.

                            @Yeetyaah The length of Gatland's contract is a little bit of a surprise.
                            @Stargazer A swap deal (Alaimalo for Selby-Rickit) would be OK. 😉

                              Chiefs coach talking about Xavier Roe and Bryn Gatland. No new names, yet.

                                Thinking further about the possible selections at lock, the Chiefs also need to factor in that BBBR will be back in the squad for 2022 and could even be available for the end of SRA 2021 and the trans- Ta$man competition that follows. I am assuming like Whitelock this year, he can play once his NZR contract starts again in May 2021.

                                        I'll bet my house that the middle dude is Cane.

                                          @gt12 Could it be that Retallick is coming back early? Or was he back for 2021 in any case?
