    @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?

    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...

        Poihipi will be coming back from a serious knee injury.

          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?

                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.

                                @frugby said in Chiefs 2026:

                                @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?

                                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.

                                @brodean most likely Tupaea.

                                    @george33 I'll gloss over the fact that you replied to yourself if you post a link with that interview. I can't think of any reason why Quinn would want to leave the Chiefs after this season even with his brother at the Blues.

                                        @Yeetyaah interview was a while back just remembered it probably RNZ at the time actually thought nothing of it really now could be a possibility

                                          I think it was S Harris who said he was close to signing with the Blues late last year. If Ioane took his sabbatical earlier it might have happened

                                          Seems less likely now.. but if he almost pulled the trigger last year it might be possible
