        @Yeetyaah There are a couple of players I can't easily identify in that photo.

        Of the players I listed the following would be likely NDC players:
        Cody Nordstrom (winger/fullback)
        Taine Kolosi (hooker)
        Jadin Kingi (lock/6)
        Jole Naufahu (winger/fullback)
        Toby Taylor (prop)

        Te Rama Reuben and Kauvaka Kaivelata are only 20.

              Daniel Rona was the player I couldn't identify (seated below Simon Parker).

              Fiti Sa is a poach from Canterbury. He's the other player in that original photo (between Tukuafu and Burr).

                  Awesome update.

                  I presume Patrick McCurran has a gig somewhere else?

                    McCurran is a physiotherapist so maybe the "real job" is his main income. I assume that some players are approached to be in the WTG but decline based on their personal circumstances.

                    The Chiefs All Black XV players are back too, in the gym.

                      I don't think they ever not back in gym, even when not training with teams, think they still keep up a level of fitness.

                        This is abit of topic but if anyone remembers me asking about a player a few months ago that goes to my sons school who apparently played for the Chiefs…

                        Numi tepulolo That’s his full name if it rings a bell to any of you knowledgeable Chiefs fans.

                                An updated article about Solomon Alaimalo. He had other offers but chose the Chiefs.

                                Also of note:

                                McMillan said their All Blacks were due back on January 24. The All Blacks XV players return on January 9.

                                      @Yeetyaah said in Chiefs 2023:

                                      @Bovidae fucking awesome. I hope Alaimalo stays on. He actually responded to a dm I sent him welcoming him back

                                      you what?

                                      well, on the Fernies i believe, for the first time ever, @Stargazer has competition for the Super Fan award

                                        Hahaha why y'all acting weird? I just welcomed him back and he said "appreciate you brother." I've always been a huge fan and was gutted when he left.

                                          @Yeetyaah lol sliding into his DMs, trying to catfish him? Perhaps trying to convince him you were that well known chiefs legend Numi Tepulolo?

                                          Superfan for sure!
