Chiefs 2025

@Yeetyaah said in Chiefs 2025:
Gonna be honest and say I'm very disappointed, O'Neill and Proffit shouldn't be there at all, TTT is still there. How do we lose a prop in Kaivelata and not sign another when that's arguably the weakest position.
Proffit and O'Neill were the second choice props last year - would be a bit of a blow to lose both (/either).
With youngsters in Ratima and Roe, not sure you need another young halfback necessarily so Tahuriorangi isn't a bad option as your third choice (though would have also been happy with Lennox).

a big year for Ahio hope he really standup to his potential
loose forwards always was going to be interesting given the talent around 6 . would imagine Smith is the one earmarked for future.
given the talent signed out of region elsewhere bit disappointed with who we kept on the wing -

Promoted another lock (Sa) but still lacking wing cover.
I see a big future for Fiti Sa. Followed him down here in CHCH, has a big future. Could be similar to a Retallick situation where he’s one that got away(Definitly not implying he’s the next Retallick, just an example). Good solid squad overall.

He just needs to grow into his body and get over the injuries. A huge unit to see up close. The Chiefs obviously rate Sa as they brought him back on a NDC contract this year after an injury-plagued season in 2023.
-
Is Sa related to the league Sa? I think he has Christchurch connections too.

Not just a one year signing.
I think that is a good signing for him, the Chiefs and NZ.

Quite disappointing that super spots are basically sewn up before npc gets to it's latter stages. There are some rather uneven distributions between squads in many positions. Chiefs end up with a very strong Wtg that would be ranked higher than many players in other squads. Other squads are struggling.

And then there are kids who haven't even played provincial rugby who are pretty much promised Super contracts in the next couple of years.
