        He still looks very raw, and prone to mistakes. Tikoisolomone is a more complete winger at this stage.

          Tikoisolomone in nz babas team to play heartland so would mean he hasnt been signed

            Speaking of which, I assume that Bent will be replaced in the Baabaas team.

                Does Bent have a SR Contract ?.

                    I doubt it. He is 35.

                        The Chiefs would be stupid not to have him involved. I did see Moli there last night during the warmups, so whether Dyer is part of the main squad may depend on his fitness.

                        He looks like a prospect.

                        Yes, getting better with more gametime. Dyer was in the same NZ U20 team as Norris. Just turned 22.

                          hard to see any changes at prop foe chiefs but if he is signed dont think he will let us down. should be training with them at least

                            He was in the Blues WTS last year. Has potential to be better than the Lay brothers for sure.

                                  Good squad, a bit light in the outsides, but overall some good picks for the future (Finau, Ratima, Reihana, Wrampling)

                                    Surprised the Chiefs didn't sign Tom Florence.

                                        Who is backup 7 out of thst bunch? I'd hope Jacobson would stick to 8, with Finau at 6

                                          @bobily2 I believe Parker is a 7? Hasn't played for Waikato all year so unsure really.
