    This Roar article has Inga Finau as a departure from Crusaders to Chiefs but doesn't have him as incoming in their Chiefs list.
    It is just The Roar though.

      @Crucial It's a bad article. That's all.

        Let's just list anyone who played for the Chiefs this season then. 🙂

        Finau was only a late-season injury replacement for ALB, but the only way he makes the Chiefs 2023 squad is as direct replacement for Poihipi. Unlikely.

            The Chiefs have acknowledged Brown's departure too.

              Good luck to him in Japan. Brown isn't going to be a starter, or even make the bench in the Chiefs best 23.

              I'd be looking for an openside as Cane has had his injury concerns in recent years. Ah Kuoi looks to be an option at 6 moving forward.

                Loyal Chiefs man but no great loss as far as players go.

                  To me the best options are M Jacobson or Florence, and both were involved this year. Jacobson is in great form. Having to use Luke, especially, at 7 when Cane went down showed the imbalance of the loosies selected.

                    He has been very handy backup at times when injury strikes.

                      Hopefully we get some media releases for new signings soon. Replacements for Brown, Lowe and Tiatia are definitely needed; and 3 of the 6 props have question marks on them based on having had major surgeries (O'Neill, Mafileo) or are permanent food bills (Moli).

                        @Bovidae and perhaps a replacement for Simon parker who is always injured, I'd go for tevita li or kini naholo as a replacement for Lowe and Peter lakai as the loosie

                                    More a 6/8 though, which the Chiefs are already stacked with. The other 7 option would be Jacob Norris.

                                        Again, a no.8 played at openside when injuries struck.
