going to be interesting how this plays out with contracts
keys to this year will be getting everyone fit eg moli (and signed) and getting brodie and sam back. as long as this happen im sure forward pack will be fine.
backs are going interesting as who has muli year deals and where we can move.
sullivan and pohipi will be at risk with wrampling i would imagine taking one of there spots.
what we really need is that out standing winger or two and how and who that could be. with out knowing what spots are available makes it hard to pick but they could use a spot from midfield and use wainui and lowe as backup .naholo opens up a spot or run loose forwards light (we had lots last year) at this stage Ratave ,Dawai and Narawa ? -
Someone said that we had signed meihana grindlay so am guessing he is on a wtg contract I wouldn't mind the taranaki wing tikoisolomone seems to have some pace and x factor

No way he would be on a full contract ahead of Wrampling, who starts ahead of him in the NZ U20s, and has more experience at NPC/SR level.

Pick your Fijian winger from within the region.

@bovidae I thought Valance Te Whare had huge potential. Any idea what happened there?
Onisi Ratave may have huge potential - but more likely a Drua recruit. Neria Fomai is a player I hope gets a contract somewhere.

Te Whare is in the King Country Heartland squad.
I had noticed he played for them in a pre-season game so obviously a late addition.
Not in this list.

So ITM cup is fair, 'Frazer' Tech not so good.

Only a 1 yr deal, so probably DMac's replacement.
I am a bit disappointed by this. Where does that leave Reihana? Would have preferred local talent like Fletcher Smith or Orbyn Leger to cover the absence of DMac next year - and give Reihana some time along the way.
I certainly hope the Chiefs bring an improvement in Josh's discipline off the field. He has talent on it - but needs consistency - and I suspect improvements off the field can help. Bit of a risk by Chiefs though, especially when it is a line-breaking winger that they need most.
Is there word on the 3rd halfback? Is it Nock? Was hoping they might get Luke Campbell back if Hurricanes released him, or Cortez Ratima.
