The cost of the weekend:
Serious injuries to Fifita, Weber and Graham (don't know about non-Kiwi players).
And unknown, less serious injuries to other players. I remember Bateman going off with a back injury, but there were more.Obviously, these injuries could also have occurred during training and "normal" preseason games, so it's unrealistic to blame the tournament format. I just don't think playing under the hot circumstances is a good idea. Normal preseason games are usually played in the evening when it's cooler.

A heavy price to pay for the title. Well done boys.
So not worth it. This is a Mickey Mouse pre season Jimmy.
Meant nothing
TBF, the Chiefs could have lost those same players in the mickey mouse trial matches that are on at the moment now.
I didn't think I'd enjoy it but I quite liked watching todays matches. A Chiefs win over the Crusaders and a Canerbry hissy fit is always a good thing. I actually liked watching some of the fatties playing an expansive game.

Oh my!! I haven't read how long he is out for.
I assume it was near the Knee? Man that bone is tough as teak to break.

Brad Weber: Fractured femur (thigh bone) which required surgery. Estimated recovery is a minimum of 6 months.

Fin Hoeata: Ligament damage to ankle which required surgery. Estimated return to play is 2-3 months.

@Wurzel Err...no. We're not that desperate.
Jonathan Taumateine or Pele Cowley might be options at HB. Heaps of pressure on TKB now to stay fit as the only experienced player in the position.
For prop, no idea. Fisi’ihoi will be the bench LH now.

Not much different to NMS last season.
