    Shame we lost Allardice and Retallick won't be back till next year. Look very weak in second row, even if I am a fan of Vaa'i.

      Is Mcwhannell confirmed out long term or just a few weeks for healing and rehab? Presume Brown will cover and Finau and Van den Hoven are rather good cover from wtg. Not so horribly gloomy in my view.

            I've lost count on how many operations McWhannell has had in the last 3 years.

            I suppose that means van den Hoven would come into the main squad.

            who would win an operation count out of him and Tucker?!

            Tucker for the seriousness of his injuries. McWhannell's injuries have been restricted to his legs/knees, while Tucker has had major operations on shoulders and knees.

                @Yeetyaah He graduated into being a dominant force at NPC level this season, and has a great frame to work with. He is good at securing possession and has presence

                  Inexperienced is the word I'd use. Vaa'i and Ah Kuoi to start again with Brown off the bench is probably the best option. I hope Lord get his chance too but he will need to add some bulk.

                    Fair, Lord is 19, Vaii'i is 20, and Ah Kuoi is 21. Super green.

                    Still plenty of room to improve for all of them.

                      Not sure if I am slow on this news but Lindenmuth and Vialame Taulani have been added into the Chiefs training as cover (Steelers news says 'Chiefs Squad').

                        That looks like Lindenmuth in the photo with Taulani?

                        Moli is still not training, and Ross is coming back from an operation so they will be short of props.

                              Can't complain about Lindenmuth tbh, he's a decent player and seems like a good dude off the field.

                                And given the Chiefs history with props getting injured, he will likely play half the season too

                                      I see that a Chiefs U20s wider training squad has also been in camp. Having a quick look at the photos I recognise a few players.
