    Maybe they’ll select Tucker again? I assume he only had a one year deal at the Brumbies?

      @tim I hope that Corey Evans will step up to take Faiane's spot. Have no clue about Locks. I would look seriously at Cridge if he stays fit this NPC. There was talk that they were looking overseas for an experienced lock. Also Dalzell trained with them this year so could get a gig if he impresses for Auckland. I really hope Pierce stays around. He deserves a chance at cracking the 23.

      Any idea who might be available from foreign ranks?

          Ask the Canes coaches, they are awesome at recruiting humungous overseas locks

                So with the Blues needing two locks and a midfielder, has anyone heard any rumours?

                Maybe @Nogusta ?

                Wonder if Chocobares is still interested?

                    The Blues posted this clip of Moses Leo's poach try all over their social media today. Maybe he's in their sights for a midfield squad place next season? Is Tele'a's place under threat from up and coming talent?

                          Seems the obvious place for him to go.

                              Although I hope for a Chief’s miracle against the Blues, I’m looking forward to seeing if RTS can come in and show that he is international quality.

                                @kiwimurph Roger's known for his high work ethic. He's those first to training and last to leave training type of guys.

                                  @daffy-jaffy Kneepkens couldn't even get a run this season or Narawa. He's (Leo) probably seen that and doesn't wanna come anywhere near the place! Tele'a hardly had a go either for that matter. Only half a game against the Chiefs really and he didn't go too bad. He be better going to a team likely to play him.

                                    This isn’t nice to say, but fuck Kneepkens a little bit - he would have got time at the Chiefs but went to the Blues where there is/was only one space available if that.

                                    The chiefs have shit wingers and he’d have walked in.

                                      @nogusta sorry thought you meant Telea not Tele'a.

                                      I think there's a chance Tele'a gets overtaken as a 12 by Evans.

                                        @kiwimurph yea possibly. But a couple of lukewarm games from Evans has seen Kata move to 12 this week for Auckland against BOP. He'll want to get as many minutes as he can for Auckland to show Rangi n co. what he can do. Plummer will have first dibs anyway on the 12 jersey next year so yea Tele'a n Evans will be competing for the backup 12 spot.

                                          @nogusta if I had to guess that sounds like zarn to fullback, rayasi and lam on the wings and RTS off the pine.
