I like dawai he has plenty of x factor and size which we really lack defence and high ball skills can be improved
He still looks very raw, and prone to mistakes. Tikoisolomone is a more complete winger at this stage.

Tikoisolomone in nz babas team to play heartland so would mean he hasnt been signed

How about Dyer?
The Chiefs would be stupid not to have him involved. I did see Moli there last night during the warmups, so whether Dyer is part of the main squad may depend on his fitness.
He looks like a prospect.
Yes, getting better with more gametime. Dyer was in the same NZ U20 team as Norris. Just turned 22.

He was in the Blues WTS last year. Has potential to be better than the Lay brothers for sure.
