    Micah Fale might be another of the NDC players then. I had him on my list of possibilities. Maybe an outside back for the last position (e.g., Frank Vaenuku).

      Ross's impending departure makes the loss of Kauvaka Kaivelata more puzzling. Josh Bartlett is now with the Highlanders so maybe Mason Tupaea gets a full contract.

        I feel Benet Kumeroa has the goods to succeed.

            Yeah, not thinking about who might or might not want to switch sides.

                      Ens should cement the fullback spot

                        I've just read that. Let's see if there is an official announcement. I agree that I would play ENS at fullback.

                        The Chiefs would still need another outside back to replace him.

                          When is Tepaea Cook Savage back on deck? Blake Makiri might be worth a look too.

                            I think March/April. A winger is needed more than a fullback with Trask and DMac also able to play fullback.

                            Anyone local can go along to this to see who is training.

                                interesting they cite workload for Filipo stepping down, Maori All Blacks only play 2 games a year

                                  Filipo is also the Waikato coach. I assume that he can now watch all SR games with his Māori coaching/selecting hat on, rather than having two roles.

                                  Gibbes not coaching the NZ U20s is also a blow.
