    At this point, we’ll the have the 3rd to 5th best NZ squad in the comp (good set of locks), so I don’t have a lot of hope for us. Perhaps a plucky win over the Blues or Saders would be a highlight, but I doubt either of those.

    @gt12 Christ mate where's the faith? Thought the same at the start of this year but Donk worked his magic. Plus Seanys passing might give the boys some massive motivation, they'll wanna win it in his memory.

      Outside backs have been pretty weak the past few seasons narawa is a good addition we need another strike weapon out wide

        11, 14 and 15 are probably the only positions where you can't say for certain who McMillan will select in his best XV. The rest of the backline is predictable.

          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

            @steven-harris Why would Leo have to stay with NH? Most of those sevens players end up playing for BOP if they are based there.

                  @bovidae my son has seen him in action coaching and mentoring and was very impressed. He has the talent for a good career after his training. Sad to see his career hurt so much by injuries.

                        I was hoping they would go for Regan Ware. Dawai has limited confidence under high ball but is an imposing figure

                            I would also hope we signed George dyer, tom Florence, wrampling and Cortez ratima a backline of 9 Weber 10 josh ioane 11 Mosese dawai 12 tupaea 13 alb 14 narawa 15 nanai seturo could cause some damage

                              He still looks very raw, and prone to mistakes. Tikoisolomone is a more complete winger at this stage.

                                Tikoisolomone in nz babas team to play heartland so would mean he hasnt been signed

                                    @bovidae I like tikoisolomone too has had great impact but maybe the chiefs wanted abit more size
