      The Hurricanes and Force were also keen to sign Taumoefolau.

        Can see Taumoefolau and Isaac Hutchinson forming part of a lethal back three for the Chiefs in the years to come

            To be fair, aside from eligibility and standard of play, a choice between Perth or Hamilton isn't necessarily clearcut.

                  The Chiefs fucked that up this year, he should have had a full contract.

                    Lived in Hamilton, I loved it, Kiwis, particularly from the regions, are just infatuated with Perth. It's a city with a great climate and likely better career prospects.

                      Sounding like a done deal with Mathis. Based on his reaction when the question was raised to him on the CGW last week, I’d say he’s already signed the contract.

                          It is a bit. It's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.

                            Perth is a fucking shithole. A boring town a million miles from anywhere, flat, full of really fucking weird people. Inflated prices for everything thanks to FIFO money. Freo is okay, but there are a lot of deros in Freo as well.

                            I'll never go back without a really good reason

                                Thought the Chiefs were signing a Wallaby for next year.

                                    I know the name has been floated in here but I’ve just had confirmation from an extremely reliable source that Isaac Hutchinson has signed on with the Chiefs for next year(unsure of contract length) and sounds like may be joining Waikato too.

                                    ACL was done in club rugby at the back end of the season so won’t be seen until next year.

                                      Hutchinson would just provide some depth in the outside backs. I still want to see ENS at fullback.

                                        @Landers92 Yeah he's certainly signed with Chiefs a few months back. I haven't heard the Waikato info but he was set to play for Canterbury this season before he did his ACL.

                                          @Fredsaua12 sounds like Waikato want him from next year on when his contract is up. Whether he chooses is anyone’s guess at the moment.
