@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.
That feels like the sort of thing I might be in support of if it were another franchise. Where is our Coventry?

Paul Tito likely would've gotten the role but he's been poached by the Western Force.
*Tito, 43, was on Taranaki's coaching staff from 2014 to 2016, achieving Ranfurly Shield success and National Provincial Championship (NPC) premiership and championship honours.
He spent three years as forwards coach at French club Pau until returning to Taranaki last year after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tito was the Chiefs' under-20s head coach this year.*

Except he wasn't the head coach. Paul Hodder was. Tito wasn't even involved. Stuff making shit up again.

Chiefs recycle jerseys. Men's training jersey is the same as the women's jersey. Kinda pisses me off and doesn't give the Manawa their own identity.

The Hurricanes had also earlier approached Ratima about coming onboard as temporary injury cover for the season but nothing eventuated, while an offer from the Crusaders was also tough to turn down.
“I was approached by the Crusaders earlier on and I sat on the decision about whether to stay or go for so long, maybe two weeks. I was trying to put the pros and cons together and had a lot of talks with the old man about what to do."This makes me very happy that he decided to play for the Chiefs after receiving 2 other offers.

One other offer, the canes one didn't eventuate
but respect for someone staying in their home area -

@crazy-horse exactly, not just a sport/rugby thing. The overall situation is taken into account. No doubt it is not a good look for the young man but he has the chance to put this behing him and grow.

Molia is one of the Chiefs U20 players I would be expecting to train with the main squad. He could be our Tupou.

loosehead or tighthead
@ploughboy TH, but still very young as he played for the Waikato U19s. He's a huge guy and very mobile for a prop.

@crazy-horse although because he is a rugby player it makes the media, so people think he got special treatment cos Rugby.

I see that the Chiefs did their bronco yesterday. Those of you who are on Instagram etc might be able to see which extra players are involved.

@yeetyaah McWhannell and Ah Kuoi better be fit from the start of preseason if the 3 AB locks aren't available. They will have to bring in at least 2 other locks for cover.
