Got some oil yesterday that Lachlan Boshier is heading offshore after the Bunnings NPC..,no real surprise I guess given that’s he’s had no love from the All Black coaches ..
Also Jordie Barrett is a possible Chiefs signing for 2022.

Well the Jordie bit is confirmed bollocks, so hopefuly the same for Boshier!

[Yeetyaah]

Okay well I denounce my claim. Waikato is the heart of Chiefs country now.

@machpants
If Boshier is off,I really hope it's a year or 2 in Japan. Damn shame if he is gone for good.

@machpants ..you win some you lose some , on saying that you would be naive to think that his agent was negotiating with another franchise..

I personally appreciate it when you guys share some of the stuff you’ve heard, whether it turns out or not, because it gives us a peek into the ‘real’ world that you guys negotiate - and something for us to talk (bitch) about.

[Yeetyaah]

@gt12 second that. That's why I joined the fern. Somehow stumbled across it when searching for Chiefs signing rumours in 2018.

@gt12 much of my information comes through coaches that are close to the scene or fathers of players and in some cases the coaches themselves or in the case of Jordie Barrett a tip someone in the media who mentioned to me that Jordies agent was negotiating with a couple of franchises which happened to be both the Chiefs and the Canes but more likely the Chiefs ..aaahhh wrong ..!..Anyway I reckon this forum is the best place for getting potential player movements ..
There are some stories I actually sit on out of respect to the individual or the team , some of it not good .

i for one am happy we didn't sign Jordie as it would be very hard to walk back from years of posting to praise him running around in the Chiefs jersey next year.

I'd have enjoyed it because we could then directly compare he and Dmac's terrible respective decision making on an objective basis.

Glad they did not sign Jordie. Should be making full efforts to re-sign Dmac.

[Yeetyaah]

@mariner4life was thinking the same tbh

They still haven't got him locked away? Yikes.

Just heard that Shaver Galletta got a support staff award and accolades. Good passionate rugby man. Well done Chiefs

[Bovidae]

@arhs

The Chiefs Rugby Club’s Kotahitanga award for Outstanding Contribution was awarded to Paul Galletta for his outstanding commitment and work ethic he has demonstrated for the Club. Galletta, the Gallagher Chiefs Assistant Manager, delivered over and above his job description and was credited as the worthy recipient of the award. “Paul, or to most known as Shaver, has been immense for the club. His hard work behind the scenes has not gone unnoticed and this award is recognition of his commitment to his job.”

And:
L Boshier
Harris
Lowe
S Mafileo?
Poihipi

(in addition to Weber and TTT)

And a lot of players whose contract duration hasn't been published.

[cliff]

I think ah kuoi is off contract too and probably sullivan

[Bovidae]

I was only listing 3 key players mentioned in the season review, the other being Weber.

I would expect Harris and Lowe to be retained. Mafileo signed a 2-yr deal.
