Chiefs 2019
-
@stargazer unsure myself to be honest.
-
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.. -
@steven-harris who have the Highlanders got at 10?
-
-
@steven-harris interesting, I heard the Chiefs signed Debreczeni so where would Ioane fit, unless they got rid of Falcon.

The only signing that has been announced is that of Gatland.

@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. -
@steven-harris Think Marty McKenzie is off contract?

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

@steven-harris If Tupaea turned down the Blues I can't see him going anywhere but the Chiefs or maybe Highlanders. Surely the Chiefs pick up Tupaea, they need a 12 and he played 12 during school so he'd be a good pick. Will develop well I think.

I go on holiday for a week and now I have to get updated on all the rumours.
On Fletcher Smith, after watching a recording of the Waikato-Northland game last night, and seeing the Otago game, his big work-on has to be defence. His front-on tackling doesn't even resemble a speed bump. I'm happy with the rest of his game though.
