MSR was poor last outing and Norris has been battling all season for bench role.
maybe they think tupou offers more power?
slater or thompson a interesting one for meSelby-Rickit was the same at the Highlanders. A super talented player and great in some games and not so much the next, for one reason or another it just hasn’t fully clicked. Definitely a good squad player though.

That's a strong Reds side who definitely can't be underestimated.
Game of the round IMO and a good chance for Oz to have two teams in the semis.

@Tim Yeah don't want to be overly negative on the guy, but I don't know how he is still playing SR in 2024 let alone starting for the Chiefs. He always lacked a bit of physicality in his game to be effective at this level despite his best efforts.

@Tim said in QF - Chiefs v Reds:
Playing Tupou is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I can only but assume they've gone for size, as given the tight 5 have been hopelessly ineffective in the big games this year then at least lets have our biggest hopelessly ineffective guys on the pitch and hope the laws of physics fall in our favour.

@Windows97 Tupou is not big for a lock. Ideally Lord would be partnering Vaa'i but injuries. MSR has clearly fallen down the pecking order and is off-contract this year.
McMillan has said that the selection of the backline reserves is to provide more protection in the midfield and outside backs due to the injury niggles of Narawa and Stevenson.

Interesting that Kaleb Trask is doing promotional stuff at the stadium as a Chiefs player on their social.

Lol Israel Dagg’s the TAB guy now.
