    What's the story with Kapeli?I know he's older but is a utility loosie and I'd rather see him in the squad than Karpik.

    (is he on the Moana Pasikika radar instead?)

      It was mentioned at the end of SR-TT that Kapeli hadn't been offered a contract as there wasn't a position available.

      MP would be a good bet if Kapeli remains in NZ.

        What about George Dyer for Moli? Would like to see Mitch Jacobson Kapeli and Tikoilosome in the mix. Just maybe Dawai.

          I’d like to give Moli one more chance - I wish we could apply to carry an extra person for players coming back from long term injury. If (big if) he gets fit, he’s an international level prop and we dont have that many of those around.

            Hearing that North Harbour utility Moses Leo is heading to Bay of Plenty and possibly the Chiefs.

              That is disappointing. But makes some sense if his aim is national sevens squad. If Chiefs lured him and are letting the likes of Wrampling and Kneepkens go then I am annoyed with them.

                Was that on us or did he choose because his partner was up there too? (I seem to remember that his partner also plays)

                      I think Dawai is the only real option, unless they go overseas

                          I meant as a power winger, specifically - but there are a few talented wings running around

                            Yep. I hope is grabbed by Chiefs

                              Anyone got anymore whispers of signings? I'm kinda bored and need some juice.

                                Who are the players that need replacing am guessing Sullivan, wainui, reihana, boshier, tahuriorangi perhaps poihipi and from the rumuors we have signed narawa,Thompson am hoping Cortez has a contract would love to have dyer or the big bop prop, wrampling I heard a rumour about moses Leo in this forum but am sure there will be a few surprises

                                  @cliff Dyer would be the obvious choice if there are still doubts over Moli's availability to play. At the very least include him in the WTG.

                                    The other thing is whether the Chiefs are going to appoint a new forwards coach to replace Barnes. That would be my preference rather than promoting Nick White (current scrum coach), as that wasn't a success the last time.

                                          Maybe Stuff will also publish an article about the likely Chiefs squad before Monday.

                                          By my count the only positions that may need to be filled are:
                                          5th lock - I would re-sign Laghlan McWhannell if he is off-contract
                                          2 loose forwards - options would be Karpik, Parker, Florence and M Jacobson (it might only be Boshier's replacement so one of the latter two)
                                          3rd halfback - has to be Cortez Ratima
                                          4th Midfielder - no Walden now to replace Sullivan, Wrampling is the obvious choice
                                          6th outside back - the elusive power winger
