Best 23 something like this (not including 7s players)
1 Hetet
2 Eklund
3 Mafileo
4 Sangster
5 Selby-Rickit
6 Ah Kuoi
7 Norris
8 Finau
9 Dobie
10 Cashmore
11 Nanai
12 Finau
13 Walton
14 Narawa
15 Trask
16 Rangi
17 Kumeroa
18 Thwaites
19 Kapeli
20 Broughton
21 TTT
22 Hawera
23 Ah WongTough team to pick. Kapeli being named at lock makes picking the locks/flankers even harder than it already was. Backs are a lottery and likely decided by form in pre-season. Narawa could play 13 or 15 but wanting Cashmore to get regular gametime meant Trask to 15.
@trooa I’d have TTT ahead of Dobie. Dobie is still pretty young and TTT was starting to find something towards the end of Super rugby.

I hope Chiefs can sign both Nanai and Cashmore to plug the backline holes. Add DMac, George Dyer and either Mitch Jacobson or Nikora Broughton and I would be happy with the squad for 2023.

true, high hopes that Broughton kicks on this year too, was very impressive on debut last year.

I dont really want Trask at fullback unless through injury, I would love to just see him focus on his core role at 10

Not here to troll, promise, but there is a bit of noise on Cashmore coming from south of the Cook Strait…

BOP is the land of milk and honey. and we are also super inclusive so we will take in refugees escaping impoverished shitholes to create a better life for themselves.

Yep, Gatland still has one more year unless they release him early. Add DMac, Trask and Reihana. And then there is Ioane.

OK did not realise Reihana was staying. I thought there was a gap for a trainee 10.

I honestly don't know about Reihana's contract situation. Someone confidently told me he wouldn't be in this year's squad, but he was. No reason that the Chiefs couldn't offer Cashmore a WTG contract for 2023 with the promise of a full contract in 2024.
