I would hope that the Chiefs are retaining Thompson. Bradley Slater
 could be tempted south unless he and Thompson are happy to continue to share minutes. Their contract length has never been confirmed.

[frugby]

@Bovidae I don't think the Highlanders would go after Slater. He probably just stays as the Chiefs 3rd choice rake, because that is his level I'd say.

Good news (maybe?), we can rule out Tuipulotu you'd think because Phoenix Karaka (his wife) has re-signed with the Mystics in the ANZ Premiership.

Leaves Hodgman, A. Ioane or Mark Telea... (or of course the rumour is horseshit, but what fun is there in that?!)

i thought someone confirmed talea had resigned with the Blues....i might be a pessimist.....but i just cant see us managing to lure a current first choice AB...somethign would have had to have gone very wrong in auckland

[frugby]

@Kiwiwomble Haha, there is no way we sign Telea. I just add it in, because seriously, I'd rather we didn't sign A Ioane or Hodgman... I think it is entirely possible that we've signed a New Zealand XV player and there is a slight miscommunication. AJ Lam, sitting on the bench - the Chris Boyd link through his brother and we have tried to get him before.

[SouthernMann]

NZ XV players who don't start for their franchises are the players we should be targeting.

[Bones]

@friedrugby fuck I'd love some Lam.

Is this a new in joke I'm missing?

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bones nope, just a typo

i was just responding to you saying "Leaves Hodgman, A. Ioane or Mark Telea"

[SouthernMann]

Mark talea that'll be awesome. Might just wake up to a million bucks in the bank acc too. Let's also pour cold water on us chasing a prop as well. Wasted energy.

@Kiwiwomble hah yeah, just seems to be so many people doing it, I thought I'd missed something.

Shall we just call him Marc then? Much easier to spell.

[Bones]

@Crazy-Horse I like what you did there

[Kiwiwomble]

of all the typos or misspelt players names on the forum....this feels like one of the smallest and easiest to overlook

[Bones]

@Kiwiwomble tell that to the good people of Romenia

[SBW1]

Will Heinz is unsigned for next year, sure he is at end of his career, would still be a good pickup.

[frugby]

We have three halfbacks.
