    @WoodysRFC said in Chiefs 2025:

    Leroy Carter, looked good both on the wing and at half.

    I love his energy, and his ability to play 9 means a 6:2 bench is an option.

    Quinn isn't injured, playing next week. Samisoni is back round 2. Malachi has a stress fracture. Coombes-Fabling also injured but couldn't find out what was wrong.

    Dropping like flies. Is Malachi's injury season-ending too?

    More on this. I expect McMillan will be calling Adam Lennox as WTG players are usually available to any team. Carter being the third option at halfback impacts on the outside back depth, which is already thin.

    Fellow test reps Quinn Tupaea (who was nursing a foot injury) and Emoni Narawa (following off-season wrist surgery) are also set to be back, as well as playmaker Kaleb Trask, who had required stitches to a leg he sliced open on a sprig at training, while uncapped loose forward Malachi Wrampling may also return from a hip impingement which scratched him from the weekend.

    Along with All Blacks hooker Samisoni Taukei’aho, who is still on the mend from the achilles tendon rupture he suffered in last year’s semifinal, and winger Liam Coombes-Fabling, who will miss the first couple of rounds following knee surgery, the Chiefs will also start the season without rookie lock Fiti Sa, who will be aiming for mid-season after having dislocated his shoulder during the NPC, and Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi, with McMillan still awaiting full results of scans on a shoulder the halfback damaged at training.

    Taukei’aho is aiming to be available by Rd 3 (Brumbies).

    The teams for each half have been named. It's good to see some players return from injury and the ABs.

    @Bovidae so good to be able to read a team sheet and know what position they are even when the numbers are all over the show. Take note England you Muppets.

    Tupaea on the wing and Mataele at centre for the second half seems a unusual choice.

    Ha! The graphic is correct, so Tupaea and ALB in the midfield.

    @Bovidae can't say I was expecting another provincial defector but I'll take it.

    At least, unlike Taranaki, they have been part of a SR title winning franchise

    ENS, Dyer, McAlister and Ross were all rested against MP with minor niggles.

    TTT's shoulder injury is not season-ending but he will be out for a while. Trask didn't play as his partner had a baby. He hasn't played any pre-season games so I doubt he makes the 23 for Rd 1.
