@mariner4life Yeah I thought I could smell BS and was just trying to impress the kids.

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.

@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!

I can't see how McWhannell stays now, unless McMillan wants a thousand locks in his squad. I'll be fucked off if that happens as he has so much more upside than MSR.
Yep I can understand McWhannel moving,(c'mon down to Canes), but kind of agree this is more about after WC when Lurch goes? Nothing like a couple of 2m+ locks in the squad.

McWhannel moving,(c'mon down to Canes)..nah at 1.98m too tall for the Canes..would block out the Wellingtonian sun...

There is the opportunity to look for a specialist no.7 to replace PGS. There are already enough 6/8s in the squad, and Boshier only signed on for 2023. Cane isn't getting any younger as well.

Boshier's brother apparently doing well at Saitama.

@ploughboy ehhhh idk about this one

I guess they were pretty stuck with the loss of Angus. I doubt there’s a kiwi tight head of Super quality left, especially when we effectively feed 6 teams which is nearly 20 THs signed up.
Much planning would have been around Angus as well.
I d rather not have this situation but it could have some advantages of exposure to NH play -

I saw Ta'avao at the supermarket a few weeks ago and he was wearing his neck brace.
The young props in the region are all LHs, but none have even made their mark at NPC level yet. Moli will need to step up, and Dyer has a big role to play now too.
I assume that Mafileo's neck injury ruled him out too?
