@gt12 Just a natural reaction to Chiefs fans desperately talking up the no-name chumps in their second row.

They're going to make good blindside flankers one day.

Hope he goes to the Chiefs

fuck you.

Actually, he's worked with Rangi in the past so Blues is probably more likely.

What a shock to see you being the first to reply to this.

"I go in with a five year plan but manage to achieve my goals within four, it's great isn't it?" Said Hammett, proudly seeing yet another of his coached teams struggling for wins and fast losing attention from fans, a vast change from what he horrifyingly witnessed when joining all his clubs.

I think we probably knew someone would have to go, we had a few too many assistants in the mix and most had been a head coach in their own right

Makes sense as we need a head coach for next year don't we?

No. At the Chiefs training I went to Clayton McMillan was there too. He is the caretaker coach for 2021.

@Stargazer

Well that's shit. I would have squeezed him into the AB squad to build depth at lock

Kiwiwomble

bollocks, attacking lines outs was somewhere we'd shown a lot of promise

Yeetyaah

Rough injury for Dickson, been playing well.

I wonder if this will be Cridge's chance to turn his career around, assuming he gets some gametime.

Is he still contracted to the Magpies?

He'll be the 4th lock behind Parkinson, Whetton and Selby-Rickit, so I doubt he'll get much game time, but if he does, I hope he makes the best of it! I assume it will take some time to get match fit and up to speed with the calls.

The HBRU never publish contract duration of players. Hell, they hardly ever publish signings. So who knows? He was playing club rugby for Central, I think?
