Ken Laban

[Stargazer]

@chris So could be right, could be wrong.

I am pretty sure it’s right but we will see.

[Yeetyaah]

@chris bet he told you what high school he went to as well.

[Yeahtheboys]

@stargazer he’s having shoulder surgery now though

He is pretty passionate about Wellington Rugby to be honest.and yes he did Wesley College.

[Bovidae]

Laban always talks up Wainui and Scots.

As to the Chiefs squad, there are still a few current players who haven't re-signed yet, or it hasn't been officially announced.

yep

He probably played Wesley a few times

[Bovidae]

The Chiefs acknowledge TTT's departure so hopefully we see his replacement announced soon. Roe is contracted until 2022.

[ARHS]

@bovidae is Richard Judd back home and available?

[Canes4life]

@arhs he's been playing for Wellington so should be available. Wouldn't be a bad pickup for the Chiefs.

There's been rumours about Sam Nock moving to the Chiefs

Hence Laban not always being correct I was taking the piss

[Bovidae]

@arhs I wouldn't be selecting any new player from outside the region unless they were AB quality, one of the classy age-group players or a big improvement in what is already there. Judd is also 29.

[Yeetyaah]

Stuff

In terms of the playing group, expect a largely unchanged roster to be reassembled. Two months ago Collins told Stuff around 30 of their 38-man squad for 2022 had already been locked in.

Old article but I'm just googling stuff for a smidge of info. Didn't realise this many were locked in already.

[Bovidae]

@yeetyaah It's hard to know who is contracted, and who isn't as not all of that info is released. Obviously, L Boshier and TTT have to be replaced, maybe Harris too. There are a few other players whose contract is up for renewal (Brown, Karpik, McWhannell, Parker) and then the DMac question.

[Bovidae]

Only a 1 yr deal, so probably DMac's replacement.
