Chiefs 2026

ALB is having his sabbatical. Replacement for him.
-
@SouthernMann Tupaea, Rona, Wrampling & Pohipi... Foketi is a good player, but considering he doesn't even crack the Wallabies, feels like he is merely a backup?

Foketi leaving the Tahs for the Chiefs.
He played for BOP so there is a connection. Experienced but will be 31 years old when SR 2026 starts.

Wrampling, Tupaea, and Pohipi are yet to re-sign I think?
Hoping the Blues will pick up one of them with Rieko on sabbatical. Tupaea Lam midfield would be tasty.

You might get one.
Probably not the best one...

Doubt you will get Tupaea, Poihipi will be a good get though.

Yeah unlikely but maybe it wants to play with his bro? Maybe he wants to play with a team who has a title winning coach?

Or stick with the team that has the better players
-
If they have better players why did they lose in that qualifying final which lost them their home ground advantage for the final?

Dude. They won twice as many games. Were 200 points better with the points diff.
I don't like the Chiefs. But you are pushing shit up hill with that one. Yeah the Blues won that game. The Chiefs are a much better playing group though. Currently.

I think the Blues had a few key injuries that didn't allow them to play to their potential.
On paper you may be right but the Chiefs players seem to be a bunch of chokers.
Mentally they are not as tough as the Blues players at crunch time.
Also I think the Blues best tight five is stronger than the Chiefs best tight five.

I'm a Blues fan but those are slippery straws you are grasping!
