@darren-nicholson How is it an easy paycheck if you're going from injury to injury and are rehabbing all the time? He's an incredible hard worker. I can't find the article, but the coaches said explicitly in an interview last year, how much he impressed them with his positive attitude and workrate, training on his own day in, day out, while the rest of the team was training together.

I'm hopeful for big things from Walker-Leawere and if Lousi can can back into form we should be ok for lock.
-
Yeah he deserves a good run and looks like a tremendous athlete. The Canes locks might lack experience but they are big and mobile which will suit our style of footy.
-
@darren-nicholson Yeah that man of the match performance by Walker-Leawere for the Maoris was very impressive. If Liam Mitchell can bulk up then he could be a good prospect aswell.
Props are our biggest weakness by far.

As a Chiefs season ticketholder this sucks. The NZ derbies are the biggest crowds so how about rewarding those of us who go to the games?

It does suck.
Having bought my season ticket for next year a few weeks back, I’d be pretty pissed off if this was announced subsequently

TRANSFER NEWS: Waratahs are keen to add South African lock Le Roux Roets to their 2019 Super Rugby roster, head coach Daryl Gibson confirmed.
According to the Rugbycomau, the Australian franchise recruited Roets, a 200cm, 135kg lock who is currently playing for the Pumas in the Currie Cup.
The 23-year-old played for Golden Lions and Blue Bulls before heading to Top14 side Racing in 2016.
However, Roets reportedly turned down an offer from Toulon and return to South African to play for the Currie Cup side the Pumas in 2018.
“We are keen on filling that spot, that lock, and we are searching for that profile of lock where we want to add a bit of size to us,” Gibson told rugbycomau.

Well, when RugbyOz spends all their budget on Pooper you will see this more and more.
The guy's on a good earner in Japan, may as well stay there. -

Who?
Not sure if you are serious but a 26 test Wallaby flanker who left the Rebels a couple of years ago. Would walk back in to the Wallabies right now - very good player.
must be good.
