    Disappointed by this. He was hard done by for opportunities. I would have kept him ahead of Lowe, Stevenson and Poihipi.

      That's the thing. Only a handful of games (8?) over 4 seasons, and not many minutes in total.

      Sullivan wouldn't be getting many opportunities in the midfield next year but looked more than useful on the wing.

      Actually, the wording of the statement implies that Sullivan may have asked for a release himself.

        No, No, and yes.

        I completely agree that he has been given fuck all opportunities, because from memory he also had a pretty good start, then suddenly went to the wilderness.

          The go well on their tweet seems to suggest he's signed with someone else, unless I'm reading too much into it of course.

              @daffy-jaffy You lucky sods. He has line-breaking ability and genuine sustained pace. Needs work on defence though.

                I was told that Reihana won't be back for the Chiefs. This decision was made before Ioane was signed.

                Maybe the Blues pick him up.

                  @bovidae lame, I quite liked him as a prospect. Smith to take his spot possibly?

                    That feels like a bad decision there by the Chiefs, but I’ll admit I have little to base that on - what’s the oil from those who have seen more of him?

                          I don't know about Smith but I doubt it with 3 1st 5s in the squad. Trask isn't much older than Reihana.

                              No idea. I'd say he is playing for his spot in the NPC. If he stays fit McWhannell can be a really good lock.

                                Trask is quite a bit better at FB though. I think they could have found the space. However it’s Gatland who I’m not sure about most there.

                                  Probably need depth in other positions like the midfield and wing before picking a 1st 5 who is way down the pecking order.

                                    I can't argue with that, but if we are banking a lot on Dmac coming back (or trask coming good) given that we only have Joane for one year. I'll be pissed if Reihana goes on to be something special as they've given him no chances.

                                      Based on tonight's game, can see why Chiefs let Sullivan go. Just too small to play midfield in Super Rugby.

                                          That was some very un-defence by the Waikato midfield tonight.
