    Talk of the new forwards coach has gone quiet. First, we heard they were wanting to have that decision made before Christmas, but nothing. Maybe an announcement will be made this week as the squad has returned to training. They were looking local.

      Jono Gibbes is getting the sack, so there's another option to replace Gatland with the Chiefs forwards.

          @Yeetyaah I noticed that Gatland's profile in the Chiefs coaches webpage was removed today so maybe they finally announce a new forwards coach.

            Liam Coombes-Fabling coming in first at the Bronco with 4:17. Ratima very close behind him. Roe at 4:22.

                that photo...

                this is supposed to be a professional organisation right? look at that photo. That's park football right there.

                  I was wondering who would offer Feeney a job. He's too good to be just coaching club level in Harbour.

                  He had Auckland playing some very good attacking rugby a few years ago. His time at the Blues was brief.. I think he was a useful scapegoat

                    I was right that Filipo was a good option. He can still continue with Waikato.

                      It's preseason, man I went to a Reds preseason training a few years back, and when I saw everyone in daggy shorts and singlets kind of made me realise yeah it's preseason etc.

                        Chiefs Insta shows ALB and Sam Cane bronco photos. I assume that means they are nearly caught up on their base programmes to the main group.

                          There were also some photos of Tupaea doing weights without any obvious strapping on his knee.

                              Yeah, but I dont think they did the bronco at the same time. Most of the squad did an indoor test and these photos were of them completing it outdoors.

                                  I notice no one has - so far - has suggested the Chiefs have the elite fans?

                                        @Crucial They're all assembling in camp this week (I think since last Friday). It was mentioned in one of the articles in the media (can't remember which one).

                                        Edit: here is one quote from the article about Fakatava:

                                        Dermody revealed on Wednesday that Fakatava was successfully putting pressure on the joint, had progressed well past the straight-line running phase, and would be part of an All Blacks camp scheduled for next week.

                                          OK. Seems like I am the one that is confused. I can’t ever remember an AB training camp this early in the year. In fact the team selection later in the year is usually the first indication of a squad.
