Is Aaron Goile reading the Fern? That list of players looks remarkably like mine in the first post of this thread. He forgot only one name.

Chris B.

@stargazer It's more than likely.

It's been noted by some of the media people who used to post here that a lot of media people do read here.

So when you're busy saying how much you hate a particular commentator, be aware that they might read about it!

Stargazer

@chris-b Ha, it won't hurt those commentators to read some constructive feedback! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

Marshall? you suck. TJ? You Suck. Smithy? You suck.

Sumo you're cool though.

Chester Draws

@chris-b Commentators, please stop telling me what school a kid went to. Especially if he was a poach.

cgrant

Aidan Ross must be signed. He was outstanding before his injury. He is a FAB IMO.

…...and please, when someone scores a short range try the words 'unstoppable from that close' should only be used when someone genuinely is unstoppable from that close. (hint: think about how next time they try it someone might stop them)

@cgrant
agree but for that to happen either 7 props or hames/moli might have to be moved on

cgrant

I can see him move to the Crusaders where there is a need to replace Wyatt Crockett.

booboo

@cgrant who wouldn't want to move to the Saders? I know you're back up to Moody but fuck how good will you look

Stargazer

@booboo Might not stay a back-up to Moody. It all depends on whether Moody wants to earn some coin in Europe or Japan after the RWC. He's 32 by then and he has already had some injury concerns. Perry will also be 32 by then.

African Monkey

@booboo They make the shittest players look like world beaters (Bryn Hall, George Bridge, Heiden Bedwell Curtis etc.) so yes you'd jump at the chance to go there.

Exactly

Great teams will make honest players look good and good players look great. Crap teams will have the opposite effect.

That of course being the case, Chiefs fans had better be mindful of who they sign up for next season eg look for Hamish Dalziel to make a big impression for Canterbury but if signed by the Chiefs, look out.

so, if i am reading this right, the Chiefs should have more players in the All Blacks?

From Chiefs Facebook:

We are pleased to announce that props Aidan Ross and Angus Ta’avao have re-signed with the Gallagher Chiefs.

It is a great boost to the front row with Ross and Ta’avao signing on until 2021 and 2020 respectively.

Tim

@mikedogz Does that mean they have four tighthead props for 2019, or is Moli switching to loosehead?

cgrant

With Tu'inukuafe now with the Blues, the Chiefs prop stocks are : Graham, Hames, Ross, Laulala, Ta'avao and Moli. Is Kautai signed ?

So it looks like Sam McNicol won't be in the Chiefs squad next season.
