@Bovidae couple of names stand out from HBHS. Tupaea, Hotham, McNutt. Hotham was pretty great from the games I've watched on tv.

Gallagher Chiefs 2020 Coaches’ Player of the Year Sean Wainui has re-signed with the Gallagher Chiefs.
The 24-year-old electrifying winger has re-signed with the Club until the end of 2022.
Wainui, a passionate Gallagher Chief said it was an easy decision for him and his whanau to make.
“Being a Chief is something I have always dreamed of. To be able to continue this journey and perform for this team is something I really cherish.
“I love the culture, especially our Maori connection within the Chiefs and Chiefs Country. I really enjoy being with the brothers, the hard mahi and the challenges we face together. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” said Wainui.
Chiefs Rugby Club CEO Michael Collins said Wainui is an exceptionally talented player.
“Sean is an exciting player; he has produced a number of amazing moments for the Gallagher Chiefs since his debut in 2018. Receiving the Gallagher Chiefs Coaches’ Player of the Year award is testament to his work ethic, impressive form and influential leadership within our squad. We are excited to see what he will achieve over the coming years and will continue to enjoy watching him proudly represent Taranaki in the Mitre 10 Cup,” said Collins.
Wainui has 38 Gallagher Chiefs caps to his name and has scored a total of 65 points since his debut.

As reported in an article posted in Canes 2021 thread. Word is Xavier Roe is signed for the Chiefs for next year.
-
@Yeetyaah See the article is saying Milo-Harris is uncontracted I haven’t seen enough of him to pass judgement.

I've just read that article. Fletcher Smith is unsigned too. Sign him up Chiefs.

Naitoa Ah Kuoi confirmed to be signed for 2021.
-
@Yeetyaah Ah Kuoi would be a good option off the bench. I don't see him as a starter though so the Chiefs need to find another lock to partner Vaa'i.
-
@Yeetyaah Yeah, I rate Lord and I think he will be in the squad. But I am thinking of an experienced lock to complement the young locks. Unfortunately there aren't that many around.

He’s not hugely experienced but Dalzell would be a good pick up for someone. There’s no room for him at the Blues

But as you say, Dalzell isn't experienced either, even compared to the other locks in the squad. The Chiefs could just as easily sign someone like Parsons. McMillan might look at one of the BOP locks.
-
He should be in the top 15 hookers and get a SR contract
However because of covid uncertainty (would there even be an NPC?) and the fact that there aren't many good hookers, I bet every side locked in 3 hookers early
-
Loose forward who becomes a hooker. Mealamu style, nice.
Hope the Chiefs are having a look, that sort of player could be gold at Super level (NB: I haven't seen one Harbour game).
-
@gt12 I would think that the Chiefs already have their 3 hookers sorted. Remember that Harris should be back. There might not be too many contracts available for hookers. Maybe the Highlanders?

We have two good(ish) ones and one shit one don't we? Can't we ship him off?
