Chiefs 2023

So the Blues and Crusaders have all the elite players, yet the Chiefs finished with 1 more loss than Crusaders last year in the regular season, 2022 final standings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Super_Rugby_Pacific_season
Also in 2021 - finished with 3 losses to Crusaders 2, making final ahead of Blues (4 losses), pretty impressive for a side with such a lack of elite players.

@kiwi_expat because, unlike the other sides, the Chiefs have elite coaching to make up for a lack of elite talent

Chiefs had their bronco today. In this first picture I can see Paddy McCurran off to the right.

@Yeetyaah Logan Dodds, the same fitness guy in this vid as in the Surf to Peak vid posted in the Hurricanes 2023 thread. Who is he and why is he at training with our SR franchises?

@Stargazer I think he's doing a documentary with all the Super teams.

It’s all part of the Rugby Fit series by World Rugby. If you jump on their YouTube channel they have other episodes from other teams around the world.

@Yeetyaah I drove past Ruakura today and there were heaps of players and others on the field. The WTG will be training full time with the main squad.
@Crucial will be interested in who else is in that photo. Is she part of the Chiefs Manawa WTG?
Yep. Found out a while back. Hadn’t been officially announced though

Chiefs still haven't filled the vacancy left by Gatland, currently have McMillan, Randall & White on the staff, they're needing a 4th coach.. I'm waiting for Rennie to be announced as a technical coach for the 2023 season.
-
Jono Gibbes is getting the sack, so there's another option to replace Gatland with the Chiefs forwards.

@kiwi_expat fuck me wouldn't complain tbh. Funnily enough I got my hands on his 2004 semi-final match worn Chiefs jersey last week.

The Chiefs Rugby Club today announced that Paul Feeney and Ross Filipo will complete the Gallagher Chiefs coaching team for the 2023 season. The experienced duo will take on assistant coaching roles to provide valuable knowledge and guidance to the squad.
