    Maybe Stuff will also publish an article about the likely Chiefs squad before Monday.

    By my count the only positions that may need to be filled are:
    5th lock - I would re-sign Laghlan McWhannell if he is off-contract
    2 loose forwards - options would be Karpik, Parker, Florence and M Jacobson (it might only be Boshier's replacement so one of the latter two)
    3rd halfback - has to be Cortez Ratima
    4th Midfielder - no Walden now to replace Sullivan, Wrampling is the obvious choice
    6th outside back - the elusive power winger

    @bovidae I would like M Jacobson in the squad, dudes been a beast in the NPC.

    @yeetyaah It would be great if Jacobson was rewarded with a contract. I've said my piece about Karpik at SR level.

    At this point, we’ll the have the 3rd to 5th best NZ squad in the comp (good set of locks), so I don’t have a lot of hope for us. Perhaps a plucky win over the Blues or Saders would be a highlight, but I doubt either of those.

    @gt12 6 ABs in your pack plus an AB halfback and midfield. With the Blues losing three locks and Faiane, you should finish 2nd.

    @gt12 Christ mate where's the faith? Thought the same at the start of this year but Donk worked his magic. Plus Seanys passing might give the boys some massive motivation, they'll wanna win it in his memory.

    Outside backs have been pretty weak the past few seasons narawa is a good addition we need another strike weapon out wide

    11, 14 and 15 are probably the only positions where you can't say for certain who McMillan will select in his best XV. The rest of the backline is predictable.

    @steven-harris Why would Leo have to stay with NH? Most of those sevens players end up playing for BOP if they are based there.

    @bovidae my son has seen him in action coaching and mentoring and was very impressed. He has the talent for a good career after his training. Sad to see his career hurt so much by injuries.

    I am hearing a Rumour Dawai signed with the Chiefs.

    I was hoping they would go for Regan Ware. Dawai has limited confidence under high ball but is an imposing figure

    I like dawai he has plenty of x factor and size which we really lack defence and high ball skills can be improved
