Chiefs 2021

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.

With NZR or the Chiefs? As I recall it, he signed a two-year contract, served one year in the Blues squad and the second with the Chiefs.

@stargazer Chiefs according to this.
After six seasons with the Auckland team, an opportunity presented itself for Mafileo to move south, in what was a virtual swap with All Black Nepo Laulala, and he signed a two-year deal at a Chiefs club where his younger brother, Tevita, had played as an injury replacement in 2019.

Am hoping next season we pick a big fast winger maybe narawa or taniela telea from the blues we really struggled to score tries despite performing relatively well, also a hooker that is abit accurate I wonder if we have a spot for finau
Google says Ah Kuoi is off-contract but appeals as the 3rd lock in the squad as Lord continues to develop.
McWhannell would have to be lucky to get a new contract given he has been injured for 3 years. Hopefully he is fit and ready to go for Waikato. If the Chiefs don't sign Finau someone else will.

Someone said in the Blues thread that the Chiefs have signed Sam Nock I think. I think I feel good about that.

I said it wouldn't be bad signing but I'd pick him to go Saders or Moana Pasifika.
McWhannell should not be signed, we should keep Finau and Ah Kuoi ahead of him. If he goes onto be an AB after getting healthy, that's too bad.

Moana Pasifika.
Are they actually going to be a real franchise next year or in 2023?
Very little evidence of them signing anyone for next year.

Good question, but assuming that they are going to play, they'd make an interesting destination for players who aren't quite getting the chances they should/could get (Nock, Joane).

@gt12 nah I believe @Steven-Harris said he had a good source that Nock is heading to the Chiefs.

Then I am pleased. I wonder if that means that Weber is moving on? He’s yet to be re-signed @Stargazer ?

@gt12 Yep.
I love his box kicking and pass so he could be a proper weapon for Dmac at 10.

It's time for Weber to move on tbh. We've got Roe and possibly Nock. Unsure what TTT is up to.

We still need another lock in the squad as I wouldn't want Finau (or Brown) to be considered a real option at lock. Both are more suited to 6.

Shouldn't Finau take Brown's spot? Or is he staying? If we have to keep Brown and lose Finau, I'll be pissed.
With BBBR, Vaii, and Lord, we should have enough height so Ah Kuoi and Finau as 6/locks wouldn't be too bad,
However, I do agree about another lock, despite his background and my assessment of his character, Selby Rickett would make a nice bench lock / lock for the rotation as well.
I just don't want to end up carrying McWhannell for another year, so he should go to a WTG (at absolute best) or be moved on.
