      Crusaders would be Ok with it they could give more game time to Chay Fihaki and Kini Naholo,plus Get Macca Springer into the squad.

            And to be fair he probably needs to move to hold down a starting spot Reece and LF ahead of him at the Crusaders now.

                @FakatavaAllBlack yeah, i'd take him but just saw hes originally from gisborne so a move north might be a better fit for him

                  @Kiwiwomble would be happy if Bridge ended up in the Tron for the share reason i predicted it the other day in the chiefs thread๐Ÿ˜‚ I also unfortunately predicted months ago Razor would be looking at Charles Alaimalo or Christian Lio-Willie & well now Christian is officially gone!

                      @KiwiMurph i can kind of understand Hotham with Nuggie and fakatava ahead of him...but we could give someone like leo-willie the 6 jersey pretty easily

                      edit: it actually really bugs we we've stuck with people like frizell when we could have given leo-willie a good run this year

                          Bridge at FB for the Chiefs (or left wing) would be a big upgrade. If we can keep Stevenson and sign another good one (Rayasi? JRK?), weโ€™d have enough weapons to possibly challenge for 2nd best team in the country.

                            He'd perform that Wainui role really well imo.

                              Kini Naholo is leaving the Crusaders and apparently two North Island teams are interested. I'm assuming both of those teams would be the Chiefs and Hurricanes, however Moana Pasifika could be another team that's interested.

                              He plays for the Naki so you would think the Chiefs would be favourites to land his signature.

                                Wasn't he in the Chiefs before the shiny trinkets were waved at him from the Crusaders? Or was it just WTG? He was injured and never got a chance but there's no doubt that we need a good winger.

                                Edit: It was the 2020 Chiefs squad he was a full part of.

                                  @Crucial interesting, maybe he's looking for a fresh start at the Canes then. ๐Ÿ™‚ We also need a winger to replace Goosen, and with J Savea most likely entering his last season, Kini could be a solid option.

                                    He had injury problems that meant he never got going at the Chiefs. He was there on promise more than performance but then they had to re-jig the contracts and he missed out. Just after that he had a massive NPC and the Saders grabbed him but never used him. Razor spoke about his skills and work ethic so I don't think there was a problem, he just couldn't get a look in.
                                    As his bro played for Canterbury and there was talk of him staying around there maybe that was the influence.
                                    Chiefs may have to admit they backed the wrong horse but I don't think there was any bad blood.
                                    All seems like he's never quite in the right place at the right time.

                                      @Crucial if there's no bad blood there means that he could quite easily end back up at the Chiefs. With more opportunity he's still young enough to have an impact similar to his bro at the Highlanders.

                                        Kini Naholo is leaving the Crusaders and apparently two North Island teams are interested. I'm assuming both those teams would be the Chiefs and Hurricanes, however Moana Pasifika could be another team that's interested.

                                        He plays for the Naki so you would think the Chiefs would be favourites to land his signature.

                                        Wasn't he in the Chiefs before the shiny trinkets were waved at him from the Crusaders? Or was it just WTG? He was injured and never got a chance but there's no doubt that we need a good winger.

                                        Edit: It was the 2020 Chiefs squad he was a full part of.

                                        I was a bit surprised we let him go, to be honest. Either way I'm glad to see him moving as he's going to get fuck-all game time in Sader-land.

                                          Good on George for seeking out some money overseas.
                                          With Macca Springer to get a contract with the Crusaders they have a young 19 year old with a lot of potential coming along.
                                          More game time for Fihaki which is needed for him so a winning situation for Bridge and the Crusaders.
