Chiefs 2025

[ARHS]

Why? The issue is back 3. Plenty of midfield options

How about Narawa at 13?

Reckon ENS could do well there, but maybe wait until 2027, very Mils like.

@Bones ENS was a centre at St Kents. I think he can be more dangerous at fullback with the extra space.

Ok I'll figure out what fullback is similar to Leon and we can move him instead.

DMac is a bit like Cully, why not move him to centre.

He'll be at halfback.

Not for a while - again.

He was playing for Fraser Tech today on his return from his knee injury but only lasted about 10 mins before pulling a hamstring. He made a few good runs in that time, including when he did the hammy.

The bye will come at a good time for Rona's HIA too.

[Bovidae]

Re-signs until 2027.

@Bovidae incredible news. Honestly I was worried he'd go home to the Blues considering he's from AKL and was their u20s captain. Fucking stoked.

[SouthernMann]

@Daffy-Jaffy surely he is being promised a starting spot. Wonder what their back three will.look like to have him slot in there.

[Bovidae]

I'm not sure what ENS's contract situation is, but he would be the most likely to move to fullback. But there's still Narawa and Carter.

[Tim]

@Bovidae Is Stevenson confirmed to be leaving?

[Bovidae]

@Tim Stevenson is off-contract and going back to the Kubota Spears AFAIK.
