[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae honestly wouldn't mind if McCurran got the backup 7 spot

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?

Canes will have him if you offering Crucial!! Thanks in advance,

@Dan54 We have enough loosies at the Canes I feel

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah

McCurran is more of a 6/8.

Mate I talking of McWhannell at lock, a position we could do with a bit more depth.

He’s too tall for the Canes

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.

Yep, but just maybe we could let a lanky bugger like him get a chance, we kind hearted franchise really!!:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

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.

I'd say so, the Canes rarely sign Fijian wingers.

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]

@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?

[Bovidae]

For comparison, Naholo is listed as 1.78 m, 98 kg, so similar in size.

[muddyriver]

@Bones was sam tuitupou a power 12 ?

Ngani the midget?

Jordan taufua a power 6?
