@Bovidae George Bridge is off contract!!!🤩

No thanks. I said "suitable replacement", not safe, slow white boy.

We do already have Trask. (Bridge would actually be an upgrade)

[Bovidae]

@Crucial We need strike power on the wing, so Stevenson/ENS could be used at fullback (assuming DMac is at 10).

Slow but not safe, I think you'll find.

[Yeetyaah]

Are there any actual rumours around Bridge to the Chiefs or are we just stirring the pot

[Canes4life]

What's Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepken's contract like at the Blues? Surely being a Naki boy the Chiefs would be looking at him considering his limited minutes in Auckland... just a thought.

[Bovidae]

@Canes4life I've mentioned that he could be a target, for the reasons you state.

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life he posted on his Instagram and it seemed like he was leaving. Some of the Blues players were commenting seeming like they were kinda saying goodbye

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah that probably says it all then, he will be an exciting acquisition.

[Grooter]

@Canes4life I will never forget the day JRK went down to chch & was instrumental in the Naki securing the shield for a week

The Blues signed him for 3 years, so he should have one more left. I guess he could be released early like Narawa was? Fullback is well covered and he’s been passed by Lam in the wing rankings

He would be an immediate upgrade for us and would start somewhere (14,15).

"The inside word is he will be moving] to the Chiefs"…
Whispers of Bridge’s potential move from the Crusaders to the Chiefs comes as he nears the end of his four-season deal with the Christchurch-based outfit, which expires this year.

@Daffy-Jaffy there'll be a parade in Hamilton If Bridge in a chiefs jersey comes to fruition

[Bovidae]

@FakatavaAllBlack Nah, we'll be storming Chiefs HQ.

[ARHS]

@FakatavaAllBlack I would welcome him. Quality Super rugby player in an area we are very weak.

[Yeetyaah]

@Daffy-Jaffy get fuuuuuuucked. Classic Rugbypass shit, they wrote the whole article based on what Beaver thought might happen not based on any rumours.

I think it's going to happen though. He kind of has to move, so it's either Landers or Chiefs, as the Canes already have their fill of past AB left wingers.

[Bovidae]

I don't see Bridge as an upgrade on what the Chiefs have had, especially if he is as slow as he looked this season. I'd rather target JRK or Fihaki.

[ploughboy]

we have free two spots up so one could go on a bridge. other one maybe on one of the sevens guys leo or Tangitau. not convinced on JTK on last years form with taranaki but would still be a upgrade.See jordans of contract maybe should start rumor about him.
would prefer we didnt sign bridge though

[Bovidae]

There might only be one free spot available if Ioane is re-signed and no one else leaves, because DMac is back too.
