Chiefs 2023

@kiwi_expat because, unlike the other sides, the Chiefs have elite coaching to make up for a lack of elite talent

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs had their bronco today. In this first picture I can see Paddy McCurran off to the right.

Jacob Norris might end up being Tupaea's injury replacement.

@Yeetyaah Logan Dodds, the same fitness guy in this vid as in the Surf to Peak vid posted in the Hurricanes 2023 thread. Who is he and why is he at training with our SR franchises?

[ARHS]

@Bovidae hope so. They are light at 7.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer I think he's doing a documentary with all the Super teams.

It’s all part of the Rugby Fit series by World Rugby. If you jump on their YouTube channel they have other episodes from other teams around the world.

Lalomilo Lalomilo is training with the Chiefs. Solomon Alaimalo is also still there.

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah I drove past Ruakura today and there were heaps of players and others on the field. The WTG will be training full time with the main squad.

@Crucial will be interested in who else is in that photo. Is she part of the Chiefs Manawa WTG?

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae They've tagged her in that picture. Olive Watherston.

Yep. Found out a while back. Hadn’t been officially announced though

Chiefs still haven't filled the vacancy left by Gatland, currently have McMillan, Randall & White on the staff, they're needing a 4th coach.. I'm waiting for Rennie to be announced as a technical coach for the 2023 season.

Gibbes devrait bientôt être écarté de ses fonctions d'entraîneur de Clermont

L'aventure de Jono Gibbes à Clermont semble toucher à son terme. Le manager de l'ASM est en effet sur la sellette et devrait être reçu par sa direction en début de semaine, pour un entretien préalable à licenciement....

Jono Gibbes is getting the sack, so there's another option to replace Gatland with the Chiefs forwards.

[Bovidae]

Talk of the new forwards coach has gone quiet. First, we heard they were wanting to have that decision made before Christmas, but nothing. Maybe an announcement will be made this week as the squad has returned to training. They were looking local.

[Yeetyaah]

@kiwi_expat fuck me wouldn't complain tbh. Funnily enough I got my hands on his 2004 semi-final match worn Chiefs jersey last week.

[Yeetyaah]

Hopefully some good pre season games incoming

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah I noticed that Gatland's profile in the Chiefs coaches webpage was removed today so maybe they finally announce a new forwards coach.

[Yeetyaah]

Liam Coombes-Fabling coming in first at the Bronco with 4:17. Ratima very close behind him. Roe at 4:22.

The Chiefs Rugby Club today announced that Paul Feeney and Ross Filipo will complete the Gallagher Chiefs coaching team for the 2023 season. The experienced duo will take on assistant coaching roles to provide valuable knowledge and guidance to the squad.
