@Bones really? since being involved with a club i've heard several versions of a saying, "first name on a squad list is tight head prop...second name on the squad list is reserve tight head prop"
Like the saying the most important people in hospitals are nurses. Yet, a long way from the highest paid in the health system.

probably a fair comparison

@Bones I think you'll find the opposite is true. Particularly in the northern hemisphere.

And just where will I find that?
-
@handa457 Have heard nothing on the front row - other than that Bell is supposedly re-signed (I guess he in theory could have his contract chopped like a few others, but seems unlikely)
I wasn't aware of any rumours regarding Fiti Sa, and would be surprised if there was anything in them. Nothing on the loose forwards either.
-
@handa457 that was me, but discard that now as my source confirmed the Chiefs have no intentions on letting him leave. He was a big coup for them to steal from the Saders and they see him as an AB lock in the next few years.
They also have his younger brother Jayden on their books now too after he has aligned with Taranaki permanently
-
@Fredsaua12 bit of a log jam up at the chiefs in the locking department. Understand contracting might prevent him leaving this year, but being stuck behind Lord, Vaii and Ah Koi would be pretty limiting for the young fella. Even if Lord of made of glass.
-
I'm not too worried about locking stocks. Between Holland, Dunshea and Tengblad you have strong primary locks. Stodart and Haig are big enough as well. Not a problematic spot. We just can't run Holland into the ground.

Sure he meant to include a video.

Referencing to Jacomb scoring for the chiefs and the rumours around him moving to the Landers

I see Zach Gallagher is leaving the Hurricanes
