@cliff true will chuck that one in

Vakasiuola is more ready for SR then Eti IMO.

With only three NDC contracts available now, it will be interesting to see who they are. Jack Wiseman would have to be one. Some other possibilities are Bradley Tocker, David Lewai, Taniela Maisiri, or some of the NZS reps (e.g., Ollie Guerin, Jamie Viljoen, Hunter Weaver).

I would think that a player like Micah Fale, who had a 2025 NDC contract, will be with the wider squad.

The Chiefs still need to announce a new forwards coach.
