Robert van Royen's article about Bridge, also mentions the rumour about Kini Naholo returning.
I know He was offered a contract at the Chiefs and the Canes and he was leaving to take one of them up.
So I would say its the Chiefs by the sounds of the article.I'd say so, the Canes rarely sign Fijian wingers.
So it's highly like the Chiefs have signed Kini Naholo and Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens for next season? What other wings/ outside backs are on the open market?
Not many left ,Just unsigned NPC talent,Unless there is a surprise coming.
Malimali could be worth a punt. Some rough edges but power wingers are thin on the ground at the moment
Good call, he has been very good in the NPC high work rate too.
Seems to always create something when he has the ball. -

@Bovidae those stats don't scream "power winger" unless you're playing in the 80s.
Power in the sense that he runs hard, then uses late footwork to weaken the tackle and busts through.
We have rather different definitions of power winger! Doesn't DMac do the same?

@Bovidae glad to hear that one. If we keep all of our locks we probably have the best depth out of any super team.
Hurricane's fans ought to be fuming over their blatant stockpiling of talented second-rowers: Rettalick, Vaa'i, McWhannell, Ah Kuoi, Lord, (& Samipeni Finau covers lock adequately as well).

All too tall for the Canes recruiters

Sometimes it is hard to remember just how young some players are and how to judge their performances against their experience.
ENS has been around long enough that we expect to see reasonably mature performances but he is only really just clocking up enough experience to work out his own game at top levels (eg the stepping and jinking gets shut down quickly against a decent defence)
He was showing some very good signs in NPC until injury and it was fair to say that losing him was a very big loss.
With Stevenson finally getting rid of his brain explosions and losing the 'WTF' moments there may be a good back three forming using resources that we already have.
