    Pretty good squad. Seems light on a 7 backup for Cane and neither Mitch Jacobson or Tom Florence picked up elsewhere. Surprised that neither George Dyer and Dangelo Leuila were picked up either. But expect those guys will all be on shortlists for injury cover and AB rest periods.

    @yeetyaah Gotta say that looks like a very competitive side. I'm actually really looking forward to Super Rugby after the turgid spring tour.

    @bobily2 I saw that too. The Chiefs player profiles are consistent in their typos.

    @crucial I am expecting Slater will be ahead of Thompson in the hooker pecking order. That decision might be dependent on pre-season form.

    Trask over Reihana too, on goal kicking alone. I like Rivez but he isn't the most consistent there.

    Good call on both accounts

    And to reinforce my comment above there is now a new player listed in the inside backs. I won't mention the obvious joke. 🙂

    No one:

    Clueless Chiefs fans on social media who don't pay attention to off-season moves:

    @bovidae and he had a poor season too, probably lucky he was already on the Chiefs book!

    I think he has alot of potential, but his game went backwards this year.

    That would make hitting the back of the lineout incredibly easy. Just lean over and hand the ball to them...

    You're assuming proportional arms. If they're regular-sized it might be a lot more difficult (though having both Retallick and Lord will be advantageous if the ball just drops somewhere from the sky)

    Probably the best place to put it. ABs official Instagram says "See you in a few months." Maybe he's signed a contract with NZR again?

    @bovidae dudes for a bright future hopefully. Having him and Roe there will I think bring out the best in each other as they'll be competing directly for the bench spot.

    Roe and Ratima are very different types of halfback, and both offer something different to Weber.

    I note that McMillan also made the TKB comparison when talking about Ratima. TKB is much bigger though.
