    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

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

    Gallagher Chiefs Team | Meet the Chiefs Rugby Squad

    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.

    Reading this article I assume the Hurricanes were one of the other teams that made an offer to Gatland.

    How good. Head coach has no idea what's going on with his roster.

    One player is still to be named to complete the 38-man 2021 Gallagher Chiefs squad

    My only gripe is Chase Tiatia. Pretty stoked on Jonah Lowe as a signing.

    I wasn't far off with my squad prediction but didn't expect Kaylum Boshier in the forwards.

    Moli back to being a TH. That would be the youngest locking group in SR.

    Happy that the Chiefs have largely recruited within the region.

    This will be a McMillan signing.

    Pretty stoked on Jonah Lowe as a signing.

    I expect he will get more chances than he did at the Canes.

    @Bovidae also isn't Lowe more of a midfielder?

    He can play both, but then so can Wainui.
