Inside word is the chiefs are 50/50 to win next week.
My bad for sharing something I got told a few hours before the game that ended up happening… two weeks in a row. I am NOT the new George
50/50 thoughIt's not you I'm taking the piss out of fella...
Haha I’m now aware. The sarcasm on this page is super hard to pick up, you’re better off thinking everything is sarcasm.

Chiefs 6, 8, 9, 10 AB team
I doubt whether Sititi will amke it this year. 6, and 10 with 9 perhaps in the squad I can see.
I always enjoy your reluctance to ever select a new player
'Perhaps 9 in the squad' who are these other 9s making the squad over Ratima haha?

I genuinely think the 9s will be TJ, Christie and then probably Ratima or Fakatava. Sititi I reckon has huge future, but don't really see Razor etc picking him above Savea etc. Will be happy if he is, but if you listened tp Ryan on podcast where he was saying how much of a step it is up to tests from even finals super rugby, I just get idea he will like to see him get a bit more experience.
Lol I not a seer or anything, just kind of parroting what I heard.

@Stag said in SF - Hurricanes vs Chiefs:
@Stag Plummer is a serviceable first five at best, that’s why the Chiefs will win.
You obviously haven't been watching him the last 5-6 games or so.
He's been far better than the dross at the Canes and Highlanders.
Would be a good back-up to MacKenzie.
Strong in defence, nice direct running game and accurate passing, place kicking and tactical kicking. Also seems to have a good temperament under pressure. -
Aside from his two big runs (which were obviously great) , how was Sititi in the rest of the game?

He genuinely was good mate. I could see him coming in on apprentice thing, but suspect with the 'A' team having matches they may pick him for that?

There's really no justification for leaving Ratima out of that group. If they pick TJ Christie and Fakatava they might as well just select the squad before Super Rugby season even starts.

Well they did reckon 80% was picked quite sometime ago.

Ratima seems like the sort of player Razor would like at 9, IMO.

He did want him at the Crusaders.
I think TJP and Christie will be chosen with the third halfback up for grabs.

Suspect Razor will only pick 9s with the attributes he wants, that he thinks he can turn into a Test 9 in the next few years.
Christie probably has the inside running on TJ in that he's younger - but who knows relaly

Mate of mine who went to the game spoke with Slater after the game. He said he should be alright for next week but Samisoni isn't looking like he'll play.

Thank god he is over his concussion. It was touch and go for a while.

He also wanted Fakatava who almost signed with them.
I guess Rangi will want Christie ...

@Canes4life not surprising that the Chiefs won and will win next week. Only teams with outstanding first fives win the comp. Mehrts, Larkham, Carter, Spencer, Cruden, Mounga etc. And McKenzie will be the next.

mmm, Derrick Hougard and Bernard Foley’s standing seems to have been significantly elevated from okay to “outstanding” now…..

Rugby hates itself.
We have to call that try back because of a potentially glancing blow to head.
And now you’ll need to spend 10 in the bin because you smashed a guy - totally legitimately- half a second late.
I don’t think there is anything to see when a little white guy leads with his head on this guy though.
