“Being a Chief is something I have always dreamed of. To be able to continue this journey and perform for this team is something I really cherish.
“I love the culture, especially our Maori connection within the Chiefs and Chiefs Country. I really enjoy being with the brothers, the hard mahi and the challenges we face together. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” said Wainui.
Chiefs Rugby Club CEO Michael Collins said Wainui is an exceptionally talented player.
“Sean is an exciting player; he has produced a number of amazing moments for the Gallagher Chiefs since his debut in 2018. Receiving the Gallagher Chiefs Coaches’ Player of the Year award is testament to his work ethic, impressive form and influential leadership within our squad. We are excited to see what he will achieve over the coming years and will continue to enjoy watching him proudly represent Taranaki in the Mitre 10 Cup,” said Collins.
Wainui has 38 Gallagher Chiefs caps to his name and has scored a total of 65 points since his debut.

But I am thinking of an experienced lock to complement the young locks. Unfortunately there aren't that many around.
He’s not hugely experienced but Dalzell would be a good pick up for someone. There’s no room for him at the Blues

But as you say, Dalzell isn't experienced either, even compared to the other locks in the squad. The Chiefs could just as easily sign someone like Parsons. McMillan might look at one of the BOP locks.
