I'm glad the struggling Chiefs have managed to add some much needed firepower to their pop-gun backline
-
Oli Mathis. Currently with the Crusaders as cover
-
Who was that NPC player who played for Waikato on the wing last year but is actually a loose forward? Forgot his name.

there a fair chance chiefs missed out on JRK and tangatau when they signed for highlanders
but I take your point it not helpful to competition.

Obviously my opinion is from a Chiefs supporter perspective but at the end of the day players go where they want to go right?

Yeah but remember people slammed the Crusaders when Amua signed with them same scenario here.
Expect the Chiefs to cop some. -

Completely. Which is part of the problem. NZR pays their salaries, and allows certain franchises to stockpile players. The better the spread. The better NZR looks around the competency of its players ans teams show casing their skills every week.
NZR has a role to offer a bit of a guiding hand. Encouraging a good spread.
Bit different in this case as I'm not totally sure on the financial relationship between NZR and MP contracted players.
-
I’m very pleased but also this is a bit shit for MP. I’m more pleased though.
And Crusaders keep your fucking hands off Mathis.

Yes and no Mathis is not playing for another franchise as a full contracted player.
I understand Kyren wanting to be an AB and moving for his own reasons.
But it is bad that MP are leaking players again Amua going to the crusaders was bad as well,and jimmy going to the Landers was as bad.
MP are really building as a franchise if they keep leaking top players they are going to collapse I don't want to see that I think MP is a breath of fresh air for SR.
We are all worse off in my opinion if MP collapse due to not being able to keep their best players.
