@Yeetyaah Janitors clean the toilets, so is he always cleaning up the shit his forwards give him?

And sweeping around to collect the missed tackles?

Bryn Gatland confirmed for 3 years.

Xavier Roe signs for 2 years.

[Bovidae]

I was kind of hoping there would be a new signing that no one knew about.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae same but I kinda had a feeling it'd be these 2. Pretty stoked on them both.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae There may still be one; just not tonight?

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah The length of Gatland's contract is a little bit of a surprise.
@Stargazer A swap deal (Alaimalo for Selby-Rickit) would be OK.

[Stargazer]

Chiefs coach talking about Xavier Roe and Bryn Gatland. No new names, yet.

[Bovidae]

Thinking further about the possible selections at lock, the Chiefs also need to factor in that BBBR will be back in the squad for 2022 and could even be available for the end of SRA 2021 and the trans- Ta$man competition that follows. I am assuming like Whitelock this year, he can play once his NZR contract starts again in May 2021.

Still a few surprises left ...

Assuming that's a blacked-out photo of this years team, who are they?

In my dreams, that is a picture of:

ALB, Jordie (more likely Jacobson I guess), Weber, Cane, Cruden (more likely Gatland), Dmac, Vaaii

The person third from right does look like Cruden, but in saying that, the middle dude looks like Cane

I'll bet my house that the middle dude is Cane.

@gt12 Could it be that Retallick is coming back early? Or was he back for 2021 in any case?

He comes back May regardless I think, but that doesn't look like his hair

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 or his height

[Bovidae]

None of those figures look to be locks based on their relative heights. Tall players to the back!

Looking at the link which provides the photos. The five in the middle from left to right are: Luke Jacobson, Brad Weber, Sam Cane, Aaron Cruden, Damian McKenzie.

In between Weber and Cane is Ardron, probably nothing to look into and they're just using the silhouettes for effect.
