Chiefs 2022

@crucial I am expecting Slater will be ahead of Thompson in the hooker pecking order. That decision might be dependent on pre-season form.
Trask over Reihana too, on goal kicking alone. I like Rivez but he isn't the most consistent there.
@bovidae and he had a poor season too, probably lucky he was already on the Chiefs book!
I think he has alot of potential, but his game went backwards this year.

Introducing the new unrealistic body standards for a Super Rugby hooker
That would make hitting the back of the lineout incredibly easy. Just lean over and hand the ball to them...

You're assuming proportional arms. If they're regular-sized it might be a lot more difficult (though having both Retallick and Lord will be advantageous if the ball just drops somewhere from the sky)

Probably the best place to put it. ABs official Instagram says "See you in a few months." Maybe he's signed a contract with NZR again?

Roe and Ratima are very different types of halfback, and both offer something different to Weber.
I note that McMillan also made the TKB comparison when talking about Ratima. TKB is much bigger though.

Maybe Clayton reads the Fern too - BBBR.
There should be an extra stat on match reports: no. of tacklers left on the ground trying to tackle him... Samisoni would leap to the top.

It’s a competitive market out there and you can’t really sit on your hands and just expect that people that may have had a pathway through your development programmes are still going to be there when it comes to signing players,” McMillan said.

reading this article it seems likely Jarrad Hoeata is the Chiefs new forwards coach replacing Barnes.

@kiwi_expat It's possible, but I just read it as Hoeata and Randle being his assistants when coaching the NZ Barbarians.
-
@kiwi_expat good or bad news? Anyone?

Well Hoeata was assistant coach at Taranaki this year under Barnes so Barnes knows him very well and Taranaki had an undefeated season. Feels pretty fast tracked but that's modern coaching.

Hoeata was also the forwards coach for the Chiefs U20s.
I wouldn't read too much into who is coaching the Baabaas, as they were replacements for the Auckland-based coaches.
If you were picking someone from within the Chiefs you could just as easily choose Ross Filipo.
