    If those are our options I hope Barrett's back heals quickly.

    It would be better to have a captain that won't be replaced during the game. While the likes of Kolisi often was it isn't ideal.

    I reckon all the Mounga talk is a crafty little strategy to open the door to Surf Jesus' often repeated plea to be able to pick overseas based players' full stop.

    He's been whining about it almost since the moment he got the gig.

    He's miles in front of the competition at the moment

    A bit sad when he has only played one game.

    Yeah I have been reading that on here but in what way? Not disagreeing - I haven't seen many Chiefs games so haven't seen it for myself. Is he missing his lineout targets? Falling off tackles? Not making yards ball in hand? Missing rucks? Noone has really elaborated.

    DMac was in great form last year in Super rugby then hardly used in the ABs. I would have had him as starting 10 last year

    I don't think selections were the previous coaching group's biggest problem

    As regards the AB forwards this year just chuck in the Hurricanes forwards and add Scott Barrett. That's it.

    A lot of that. Lineouts shakey, doesn't seem as busy and isn't breaking tackles or making yards like previous seasons. Just seems to be lacking dynamism.

    The thing that strikes me as a bit off about Razor "trying to entice players back"....these are guys that left after they knew he'd be coach. Especially in the case of Richie, if true, it smells fishy. Razor saying don't worry mate just go get your money and we'll sort out more money to get you back?

    I thought it was weird too but it's a bit of a gamble don't you think? Especially if RM really wanted to continue being an AB. I was actually starting to think things may not have been as rosy at the Saders as we were led to think. Not based on anything other than the Saders missing out on a few young players that I'd have thought would have jumped at the chance to play under Razor. And before you ask, I can't remember who they were.

    Yeah Richie taking off when he's basically being handed the keys, just as "his guy" is becoming coach was a tad bizarre.

    On top of that, if Razor thought these guys were that important, why didn't he fight hammer and tongs last year? If he really is pursuing them then it must be panic after seeing SR....

    There's a truckload of conspiracy theories on here based on SFA. The guy hasn't even coached his first game yet.

    We have been saddled by stuck in the mud selections and misplaced loyalty for far too long. Last 4 years has been painful

    That's why the thought of Havili at 12 and now covering 10 is such a refreshing change.

    That's why Jordie or Scott should be captain, most disparity between them and the next best options. Jordie is 4 years younger so I'd go for him.
