    heard through the chiefs grapevine they are trying too offload Tiaan Falcon and sign Fletcher Smith..
    Interesting developments this one,Marty McKenzie still having ongoing head issues.
    Also Ayden Johnstone the Waikato loosehead has signed with the Highlanders..

      I hope they succeed. Fletcher Smith has a great set of skills and just needs lots more big game time. He compares favourably with Cameron, Perofeta, Hunt and co.

        @steven-harris Why get rid of Falcon and keep MMac? And with "offload" Tiaan Falcon, do you mean de-list or getting another franchise to take him? I understand Smith has a bit more experience than Falcon, but Falcon is the more talented player. Odd move if they keep Mmac.

            I'd be wild if they got rid of Falcon to keep MMac and Debrezeksy or whatever that Aussie is called. Get rid of both of them, and keep Falcon and FLetcher behind Dmac, with Stevenson and Alaimalo at 15. Sorted.

              I like Fletcher Smith, so he'd be a good pick up for the Chiefs but not at the expense of Falcon, especially if they re-sign MMac and they've already signed the Aussie.

                Not sure if anyone has said this, but I heard Scotty Stevenson say on commentary in the last Taranaki game that Reuben O'Neill had signed for the Chiefs for next year, seems like Graham might miss out on the squad next year.
                Also, I hope they don't drop Falcon from the squad, I think MMac is off contract next year so I doubt he'll be back, but if they have signed Debreczeni they probably won't have a spot for Fletch.

                  Just leaving FMG Stadium Waikato after doing a bit of investigating..
                  Fletcher Smith has signed with the Hurricanes
                  Josh Ioane has signed with the chiefs..
                  Sam Nock reckons he is with the Blues again next season.
                  QuinnTupaea turned down an offer from the Blues..

                      As a Hurricanes supporter I hope it is J Garden-Bachop that is heading to the Highlanders.

                        @higgins Poor Highlanders haha. But yeah, F Smith would be a good signing for the Canes, if true. JGB wouldn't get much game time at the Canes as he'd drop to 4th behind BB, Smith and Marshall.

                          @steven-harris interesting, I heard the Chiefs signed Debreczeni so where would Ioane fit, unless they got rid of Falcon.

                                    @yeetyaah that’s a bloody good question,I asked around today,the source that a got in around Debreczeni seemed reasonably accurate as I had a couple of other bods confirm he had signed with the chiefs..it’s actually now got me even more puzzled especially if Josh Ioane has signed.
                                    That would also mean the chiefs would have Marty Mckenzie,Tiaan Falcon,Josh Ioane and Jack Debreczeni along with D Mac who could play first five.,I do know Debreczeni can play fullback as well.

                                        @tim if M Mckenzie is off contract,then that opens the door for the other players on the table.

                                          It says here Josh Ioane is signed for the Highlanders next year.
