    "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.

      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.

        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.

          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

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

                even with dmac at full back would make no sence to carry gatland,trask,reihana and ioane unless they have years on contract and wont move

                  @ploughboy Gatland still has 1 year left on his contract. Trask was rumoured to sign a long-term (5-yr) contract so would still have a year or two left. Reihana might be coming off-contract so might be the most at risk. If DMac is going to play 1st 5 there is little point in signing Ioane.

                  As for wingers, Lam and Rayasi would be at the top of my list for non-regular starters.

                  I mentioned him earlier in this thread but I would be looking at Taniela Filimone. He's young and has some size and speed, and covers centre and wing. Ex-RBHS and Chiefs age-group now playing in Manawatu. He was also in the Chiefs WTG so the coaches know him.

                    @Bovidae I don’t think Rayasi will move, he mostly locked down that 11 jersey for the Canes by seasons end and will be looking to push on next year. You guys can have Julian Savea though. 😁

                              @ploughboy I would be ok with Wrampling and Bridge. Still think Narawa has upside.

                                      @mikey07 Is that a shortened name?

                                      Maritino Nemani was in the 2012 squad.
