Chiefs 2022

[ploughboy]

going to be interesting how this plays out with contracts
keys to this year will be getting everyone fit eg moli (and signed) and getting brodie and sam back. as long as this happen im sure forward pack will be fine.
backs are going interesting as who has muli year deals and where we can move.
sullivan and pohipi will be at risk with wrampling i would imagine taking one of there spots.
what we really need is that out standing winger or two and how and who that could be. with out knowing what spots are available makes it hard to pick but they could use a spot from midfield and use wainui and lowe as backup .naholo opens up a spot or run loose forwards light (we had lots last year) at this stage Ratave ,Dawai and Narawa ?

Someone said that we had signed meihana grindlay so am guessing he is on a wtg contract I wouldn't mind the taranaki wing tikoisolomone seems to have some pace and x factor

No way he would be on a full contract ahead of Wrampling, who starts ahead of him in the NZ U20s, and has more experience at NPC/SR level.

Pick your Fijian winger from within the region.

@bovidae I thought Valance Te Whare had huge potential. Any idea what happened there?

Onisi Ratave may have huge potential - but more likely a Drua recruit. Neria Fomai is a player I hope gets a contract somewhere.

@arhs

I mentioned after the Waikato NPC squad was named that I was told Te Whare had made himself unavailable for selection. Just enjoying life. Hopefully he is back next year.

[Yeetyaah]

Te Whare is in the King Country Heartland squad.

I had noticed he played for them in a pre-season game so obviously a late addition.

Not in this list.

@bovidae strange. He was in the player profiles on Facebook.

[ARHS]

@yeetyaah Hum. Very strange. Glad he is playing though.

"ITM Cup" 🤦

[Bovidae]

And that's Fraser Tech

Did he play last year?

[Yeetyaah]

@machpants yeah I believe that was his first year at NPC level.

So ITM cup is fair, 'Frazer' Tech not so good.

[Bovidae]

Te Whare debuted in 2019.

[Number 10]

Playing at fullback he scored two of King Country's three tries in their 19-50 loss to NZ Universities.

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

Is there word on the 3rd halfback? Is it Nock? Was hoping they might get Luke Campbell back if Hurricanes released him, or Cortez Ratima.

The Hurricanes have released Luke Campbell

By the sounds of it the Canes are trying to get him back now,To cover for Roigard's injury

[ARHS]

@chris hoping the Chiefs get him back home and Canes sign Judd or Ratima.
