      That can be the only reason, as his replacement. So no chance for Fletcher Smith then.

        Could still be space, depends if they see him/Debreczini as 15 option to. Looking at Chiefs discussion page, heaps of spots available for 2019 across all positions in backs except 9.

            Cooper better re-sign Stevenson and I'd be wanting to lock up Nanai-Seturo as the other fullback option.

              He’s probably already locked in those 3 spots from the Auckland 1st XV competition. 😝

              Seriously though, I don’t think many of the Northland guys would’ve done their chances any good. Might have been a few from the opposition that he was looking at though..

                    @kiwimurph all the first fives the Blues have selected since 2003 have worked really well.!..to me the jury is still out on Plummer and Perofeta at super level Perofeta especially..!,Plummer looks promising but super rugby is a different level..Otere Black will definitely start as the Blues no1 but let’s not forget he was the number 2 at the Canes.
                    Purely from a Northland piece delighted that Debreczeni has secured a contract,we have not had decent pivot at the Taniwha since David Holwell wore the 10 jersey.
                    We don’t have the depth that Auckland has neither the money,so guys picking up contracts is huge as seen by the Tasmans of this world..!

                      That is fucking terrible - the Chiefs need a slap for that signing.

                      I guess he's theoretically available for NZ but he's not good and we'd be better to promote a young NZer.

                        If he is third ahead of MMac I’m not entirely unhappy, but if they have not got Stevenson signed and are considering him as 15 cover, I’m going to ask Cooper to play a game of Rochampbeau.

                            You know he's played Super Rugby before right?

                                I know he was born in NZ, he's still Australian. I must admit I've only watched 4 Northland games this year but I don't think he's looked as assured as you're suggesting, just reminded me of his play at Super level.

                                Blues should have signed him since he's in your catchment area. 😉

                                      @steven-harris Debreczeni was so bad for the Rebels this year they dropped him and shoehorned Hodge out of position at 10. And it worked. Hodge was far better (not a high bar).

                                        That’s a good point, but is he likely to be better than MMac? That’s the question.

                                          I haven't had a chance to watch the Northland-Waikato game yet but I can only assume Smith outplayed Debreczeni. I don't think I saw one Rebels games this season to comment on his performance at SR level.
