@gt12 much of my information comes through coaches that are close to the scene or fathers of players and in some cases the coaches themselves or in the case of Jordie Barrett a tip someone in the media who mentioned to me that Jordies agent was negotiating with a couple of franchises which happened to be both the Chiefs and the Canes but more likely the Chiefs ..aaahhh wrong ..!..Anyway I reckon this forum is the best place for getting potential player movements ..
There are some stories I actually sit on out of respect to the individual or the team , some of it not good .i for one am happy we didn't sign Jordie as it would be very hard to walk back from years of posting to praise him running around in the Chiefs jersey next year.

I'd have enjoyed it because we could then directly compare he and Dmac's terrible respective decision making on an objective basis.

Just heard that Shaver Galletta got a support staff award and accolades. Good passionate rugby man. Well done Chiefs
The Chiefs Rugby Club’s Kotahitanga award for Outstanding Contribution was awarded to Paul Galletta for his outstanding commitment and work ethic he has demonstrated for the Club. Galletta, the Gallagher Chiefs Assistant Manager, delivered over and above his job description and was credited as the worthy recipient of the award. “Paul, or to most known as Shaver, has been immense for the club. His hard work behind the scenes has not gone unnoticed and this award is recognition of his commitment to his job.”

L Boshier
Harris
Lowe
S Mafileo?
Poihipi(in addition to Weber and TTT)
And a lot of players whose contract duration hasn't been published.
-
I was only listing 3 key players mentioned in the season review, the other being Weber.
I would expect Harris and Lowe to be retained. Mafileo signed a 2-yr deal.

With NZR or the Chiefs? As I recall it, he signed a two-year contract, served one year in the Blues squad and the second with the Chiefs.

@stargazer Chiefs according to this.
After six seasons with the Auckland team, an opportunity presented itself for Mafileo to move south, in what was a virtual swap with All Black Nepo Laulala, and he signed a two-year deal at a Chiefs club where his younger brother, Tevita, had played as an injury replacement in 2019.

Am hoping next season we pick a big fast winger maybe narawa or taniela telea from the blues we really struggled to score tries despite performing relatively well, also a hooker that is abit accurate I wonder if we have a spot for finau
Google says Ah Kuoi is off-contract but appeals as the 3rd lock in the squad as Lord continues to develop.
McWhannell would have to be lucky to get a new contract given he has been injured for 3 years. Hopefully he is fit and ready to go for Waikato. If the Chiefs don't sign Finau someone else will.

Someone said in the Blues thread that the Chiefs have signed Sam Nock I think. I think I feel good about that.

I said it wouldn't be bad signing but I'd pick him to go Saders or Moana Pasifika.
McWhannell should not be signed, we should keep Finau and Ah Kuoi ahead of him. If he goes onto be an AB after getting healthy, that's too bad.
