At his age, with a WC 2 years away, he can fuck off and stay here.

Dude, when did you get so angry?

Most of his value comes at Super level, and he’s lucky to be the ABs 23. Why give him a sabbatical?

The first part of your post is straight up bullshit, he was freaking valuable in his last full non injury test series, as @Canes4life notes we missed his impact in 2019.

Secondly, I don't think he's been given a "sabbatical", but if TJP can come back after a trip to Japan then I think DMac has got a reasonable chance of doing it too.

@donsteppa speaking of, Luke Campbell might be the unlucky one at the Canes if they go with Perenara, Roigard and Booth/Enari for next year. Is there room at the Chiefs for Campbell? I thought he was really solid for us the year.

I hope so. He’s a good player and it looks like he gives everything 100%.

[Canes4life]

@donsteppa yeah he's damn solid in everything he does and he obviously has that relationship with McMillan

[ARHS]

@gt12 What angry planet are you on?

[Machpants]

These fucking rugby players, giving their short game life and (probably) long term health , then expecting to make the most money out of it. Disgusting.

[Yeetyaah]

Uhhh wouldn't he be better to play the RWC then leave? Strange. Really hope he stays.

[Toddy]

Huge Retallic sized blow for the Chiefs. ABs have plenty of fullback cover. Though would mean they may need to revisit a 3rd 10 option.

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah I agree, the timing looks wrong. Too close to the RWC.

[Bovidae]

Reading that article it also says that Reihana was only contracted for 2021 so no guarantee he is re-signed, now that he has moved outside of the franchise area.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Maybe the Chiefs can pick up McClutchie if he has a good NPC?

[Bovidae]

@stargazer Trask can be used as a 1st 5. Everything will depend on DMac's decision.

Hawke's Bay isn't in the Chiefs region either.

[cliff]

Josh ioane wouldn't be a bad signing

We may as well be. Or in the Highlanders region.

[cliff]

Tiaan falcon is back and still very young could be an option too if he's gotten over his injuries

[Stargazer]

@cliff He'll return to Japan after the NPC.

[ploughboy]

money wise would make sense . all black career doesnt.Dmac needs to be playing in nz if he want to cement place for world cup squad and cement his spot in match day 23

[Yeetyaah]

The way it's been worded by rugby pass it seems it might just be a 1 year contract. Maybe he's just missing the Super season and back for AB's. I don't think there's any way he wouldn't want to play in the RWC.

[ARHS]

@yeetyaah huge risk though. Going now will have him on rhe outer in a tight battle

[Stargazer]

@arhs Yep, if all of J Barrett, Jordan and Z Sullivan have excellent SR seasons, Dmac might not make the squad.

[cgrant]

@bovidae And what about Wrampling ?
