I hope McWhannell isn't going anywhere, but the Blues wouldn't say no.
I don't think that Ah Kuoi will be considered as a frontline lock in the future, more a 6 who can play lock. The Chiefs need to keep the players they've got because you seldom get them back.
PGS's future might make things a little clearer, if he asks for an early release.
McMillan has talked about having better squad balance for 2023. To me, that applies to the loose forwards and outside backs.

I guess that MSR could push Ah Kuoi into Mitch Browns 'spot' in the squad as a loosie. 10 loosies on the roster is also over the top although there does seem to be some banking for the future.

As I've mentioned, the Chiefs need another specialist no.7 to backup Cane. Those problems were evident this season when he was injured, as moving a player from their preferred (better) position isn't a good solution.
I hope that the MSR rumour isn't true.

Ah Kuoi, BBBR and Vaa'i are all locked in for next year. If the rumours of MSR are true who misses out from McWhannell and Lord?
I can see the point of MSR taking BBBRs spot in the roster from 2024 but cant see them carrying 6 locks next year to make it happen.
McWhannell is too good to not play Super so where does he go?@Crucial said in Chiefs 2023:

He’s too tall for the Canes

@Dan54 We have enough loosies at the Canes I feel
Mate I talking of McWhannell at lock, a position we could do with a bit more depth.

I would more than happily sign McWhannell if the Chiefs don’t want him. Seems like a powerful carrier, and also quite mobile for a lock.

Robert van Royen's article about Bridge, also mentions the rumour about Kini Naholo returning.

I know He was offered a contract at the Chiefs and the Canes and he was leaving to take one of them up.
So I would say its the Chiefs by the sounds of the article. -

So it's highly like the Chiefs have signed Kini Naholo and Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens for next season? What other wings/ outside backs are on the open market?

Malimali could be worth a punt. Some rough edges but power wingers are thin on the ground at the moment

Good call, he has been very good in the NPC high work rate too.
Seems to always create something when he has the ball. -

A quick look at the media guide says he isn't your typical tall Fijian winger either.
1.82 m, 98 kg. Would be 26 when SR started.

@Bones said in Chiefs 2023:
@Bovidae those stats don't scream "power winger" unless you're playing in the 80s.
Power in the sense that he runs hard, then uses late footwork to weaken the tackle and busts through.

We have rather different definitions of power winger! Doesn't DMac do the same?
