Nanai-Seturo isn't there, that's Tumua Manu in the middle.

[Stargazer]

@dice Thanks, that was my only guess haha, obviously wrong.

[Bovidae]

@stargazer @gt12 Bailyn obviously learnt those moves in the Bay.

I thought McWhannel was taller than 1.98 m.

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs Instagram strikes again. Young Bay of Plenty first five Kaleb Trask is training with the Chiefs.

[Bovidae]

Mitch Jacobson is training with the Chiefs (likely Cane's replacement).

Who is the player second from the right?

[Tim]

@bovidae Maybe Orbyn Leger?

[Bovidae]

@tim Nah, he's in another photo. Looks like a lock when you compare his height to McWhannell.

Maybe Parete, but he isn't that tall either.

[Tim]

@bovidae Based on this image series I'd say Parete:

[Yeetyaah]

Jesse Parete has been tagged in photos on the Chiefs IG. I really can't stand him aye, he has a massive attitude problem and is pretty ill disciplined, Chiefs could definitely do without him.

[Bovidae]

@yeetyaah He played well when he came off the bench for his debut in the loss to the Jaguares but, I agree, he's a modern-day Hoeata.

So he'll be selected in the ABs sometime soon then?

[Bovidae]

@nepia Or arrested.

[Yeetyaah]

Quinn Tupaea's IG story suggests he might be training with the Chiefs.

[Yeetyaah]

ALB is listed as second five eighth on the Chiefs website. Looks like he'll be making the change to 12 as they look to use Tumua Manu, Bailyn Sullivan and possibly Sean Wainui at 13. Pressure on ALB.

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah A backline of TTT, McKenzie, Alaimalo, ALB, Manu, Stevenson, and Nanai-Seturo could do some damage

[Yeahtheboys]

@Tim Nanai seturo from bench for counties to a star super rugby player?

[Tim]

@Yeahtheboys Just picking the maximum attacking potential team. Wainui will probably start on the wing.

Reckon the Blues may regret letting Manu go for an aging Nonu. Sure Nonu is premium quality, but how motivated will he really be? Whereas young gun Manu was really starting to forge a handy partnership with TJ Faiane at Auckland. Be interesting to see this young fella Manu grow and kick on with the likes of ALB (Likewise I'll be keeping a weather eye on Faiane). I'm looking forward to Version 2.0 of this Chiefs backline immensely.
