Chiefs 2023

Had a quick yarn to Quinn Tupaea last night. Someone told me he'd be back playing club soon so I asked. He said he's back in 3 weeks so hopefully all goes well and he's back for Waikato in the NPC.

Chiefs 15 of 17 for season and beat Crusaders 2 out of 3. Best team of 2023.
Roll on 2024...

@pakman We know how it feels ...

Overall, I don’t think we have anything to moan about, even without a championship.

That was a great year with some players becoming real weapons.

In the final, we just weren’t good enough but that doesn’t mean that we should throw any babies out with the bath water.

I’m disappointed but happy with where we are at - a couple of better decisions and we’d be champions - but we have the talent to win next year.

Dmac is now at a Super winning 10 level
We have a super winning team of loosies
We have weapons out wide
We have depth in the second row and midfield
We have a strong enough front row

Well done boys. I wish we were toasting your championship, but don’t worry about walking down the streets. You didn’t let us down at all and I’m looking forward to seeing these guys and congratulating them on a fantastic year.

@gt12 agreed. I think we're in a good place moving forward.

We have the best coaching staff now, especially since Razor is moving on, which is going to be huge with future recruitment.
