@taniwharugby maybe worth a few dollars on the Chiefs, they seem to be the team that is hitting form at the right time
@Nevorian also beat the Jaguares in BA this year.

The difference Sam Cane makes is telling.
If we beat Jaguares do we play the Crusaders in the Semi?

No, Crusaders - Chiefs, Hurricanes - Chiefs or Highlanders - Chiefs are the only all Kiwi finals that are possible.
Crusaders, Highlanders and Hurricanes are all in the same half of the draw, so can never meet in the final.

Funny if it was to be Chiefs v Highlanders (It won't be) Imagine CHiefs getting home final after this season.

Jaguares for their maiden title at 9.50 jumps out to me. Home quarter, semi and if anybody knows over the Crusaders final as well.

Apparently, Quade Cooper is off contract. Some NZ franchises could use an experienced 10. Would you want him for your team?
@Stargazer I’d take him at the chiefs tbh

@Yeahtheboys Speak for yourself. Maybe M10 cup worthy.

@MajorRage Crusaders have never lost a home finals match...this title is thiers to lose.

Yeah, as good as the Jags have been, I just can't shake the "flaky" tag off them in my head. Too many times have Argentina started to show promise and then lost to a shit looking Australia....

Indeed. But 9.50 seems quite long odds for a team that has shown no fear on playing in NZ and was second overall, with a sensational run-in.
For sure, Saders are still favourites tho.

@Yeetyaah Isn't that exactly what @Yeahtheboys is doing? Speak for himself?
@Stargazer such a crime to have opinions on forums !

No.
There is enough young talent around, and the Chiefs are probably still years away from actually being in a position to win it (i.e., when Brodie comes back) that we should be really investing in young talent. So, next year, we could chase McClutchie, keep Debreczeni, and either keep MMac or the other foodbill 10 from Hawkes Bay.
I think that Debreczeni could be a good enough 10 for a couple of years while we wait for the next Cruden to steal from somewhere.
Having said that, if Quade came with SBW, then I'd reconsider.
