Chiefs 2021

[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. :smirking_face:

[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 ?

[Bovidae]

Good question. Wrampling should be in the WTG at least but he is not even 20 years old yet.

[cliff]

I don't know how but I hope we retain poihipi I think with enough game time he can be a very good 12 has the size, pass some deft skills and even a nice step problem is he is not as versatile as the likes of wrampling that could work against him
