I presume Patrick McCurran has a gig somewhere else?
McCurran is a physiotherapist so maybe the "real job" is his main income. I assume that some players are approached to be in the WTG but decline based on their personal circumstances.
The Chiefs All Black XV players are back too, in the gym.

I don't think they ever not back in gym, even when not training with teams, think they still keep up a level of fitness.

This is abit of topic but if anyone remembers me asking about a player a few months ago that goes to my sons school who apparently played for the Chiefs…
Numi tepulolo That’s his full name if it rings a bell to any of you knowledgeable Chiefs fans.

@mariner4life Yeah I thought I could smell BS and was just trying to impress the kids.

An updated article about Solomon Alaimalo. He had other offers but chose the Chiefs.
Also of note:
McMillan said their All Blacks were due back on January 24. The All Blacks XV players return on January 9.

@Bovidae fucking awesome. I hope Alaimalo stays on. He actually responded to a dm I sent him welcoming him back

you what?
well, on the Fernies i believe, for the first time ever, @Stargazer has competition for the Super Fan award
-
Hahaha why y'all acting weird? I just welcomed him back and he said "appreciate you brother." I've always been a huge fan and was gutted when he left.
-
@Yeetyaah lol sliding into his DMs, trying to catfish him? Perhaps trying to convince him you were that well known chiefs legend Numi Tepulolo?
Superfan for sure!

I can't see how McWhannell stays now, unless McMillan wants a thousand locks in his squad. I'll be fucked off if that happens as he has so much more upside than MSR.
Yep I can understand McWhannel moving,(c'mon down to Canes), but kind of agree this is more about after WC when Lurch goes? Nothing like a couple of 2m+ locks in the squad.

McWhannel moving,(c'mon down to Canes)..nah at 1.98m too tall for the Canes..would block out the Wellingtonian sun...

There is the opportunity to look for a specialist no.7 to replace PGS. There are already enough 6/8s in the squad, and Boshier only signed on for 2023. Cane isn't getting any younger as well.

Boshier's brother apparently doing well at Saitama.
