    We still need a strike weapon out wide and with naholo gone to the saders I wouldn't mind getting vereniki tikoisolomone seems to have some genuine pace and x factor also if tanielu telea is no longer with blues I'd look at him he has the tools to be a game breaker

      What are peoples thoughts on Dawai? Looks a bit flakey on defense, but might at least be a good squadie - with the hope he learns how to tackle.

        @bobily2 same thoughts. Good on attack, average on defence. Should add that I wouldn't mind him in the squad.

            @cliff I haven't seen a lot of him but from what I have he seems the part.

              It appears that Narawa has signed for the Chiefs but is he any better than what the Chiefs currently have?

              Lowe
              ENS
              Wainui
              Stevenson

              I don't think he is a guaranteed starter.

                @bovidae I would have narawa and Lowe on either wings with ens off the bench at least narawa provides abit of size and has pace am not so keen on Stevenson or wainui

                  A lot better than Stevenson. Maybe he’s replacing him?

                    Stevenson is signed until 2023.

                    I'd like ENS to be the fullback but I expect McMillan will favour Trask. Just as long it isn't Tiatia.

                      I wonder if we’ll get a surprise?

                      There was the rumor in the Blues thread about Fihaki - if that happened I’d be stoked as he looks really good and could challenge for a wing spot.

                                  He’s big.

                                    Narawa is fast but he isn't that big either. Similar height and weight to Lowe and ENS.

                                      I think Narawa has the potential to end up premier wing for Chiefs next year. Wainui the best currently.

                                        So what is the Chiefs starting backline looking like now?

                                        9 Weber
                                        10 Ioane
                                        11 Wainui/ENS
                                        12 Tupaea
                                        13 ALB
                                        14 Lowe/Narawa
                                        15 Trask/ENS/Stevenson

                                          There's a fair bit of love for Wainui among the coaches. I seem to remember them commenting on his professional approach and experience. Something they will value.
                                          I would like to see ENS at 15 but even Counties won't/don't give him a shot there. Maybe a bench spot in the 'top' setup?
                                          They like a kicking option at 15 so Trask will likely get the nod. Stevenson has a massive boot but only seems to use it as last option under pressure. Would like to see him develop and start using that kick to better effect turning teams around/50/22s etc.
