RugbyPass really roasting the Chiefs recently.

Gratuitous upvote cos Bond is fucken awesome. 58 years and still going strong as a franchise. Wow.

[Dice]

@Yeetyaah I'm watching the play now and I honestly don't think it was on purpose. It looked like Clarke just lost his balance.

[Bones]

@Dice While it certainly wasn't intentional, there was no duty of care.

[Bovidae]

I feel dirty agreeing with Treason but those types of incidents need to be eliminated. There was a good example in the SBHS-Kings HS game today (on the video I posted). A penalty at halfway should be given more often.

@Bovidae

I saw that - the game had a bit of grub from both teams with a few cheap shots.

[gt12]

@Bones

I’m not entirely convinced it wasn’t intentional; but he clearly knew right away how bad it looked, and he showed genuine concern for Alaimalo - after ruining his should of course.

[Bones]

@gt12 yeah, I guess intention may have been there to soften his own landing and not care about Alaimalo, but not an intention to do damage.

[Yeetyaah]

Anyone know who the middle guy is?

yep, but yo uhave to be consistent.

Tell ya what, if you penalised/carded people for yelling at the ref it'd clean it up pretty quickly

@nzzp TJP would have to have his own chair.

No idea. They must be pulling in extra players for opposed trainings.

@Bovidae

That's too light

I'd have Clarke sin binned Reckless plays like that piss me off

No chance of preventing a try being scored Attacking player is exposed & can't defend themselves

Does anyone know the status of Nankivell's contract? How long he's signed for the Chiefs for?

Chiefs trio extend stays

The Chiefs have announced that Alex Nankivell, Sean Wainui and Liam Polwart have extended their contracts until the end of 2020.

[Bovidae]

I would hope Nankivell will be re-signed as Manu is off overseas. Time to give Sullivan some opportunities in 2021.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae I agree but the Chiefs have a stacked midfield and coz Alex is from CHCH I'm hoping the Poosaders don't make a play for him as their midfield stocks are low. A Nankivell/Goodhue midfield would be massive. But they're hellbent on using Goodhue at 12 so here's hoping they aren't that smart.

We do? ALB, Tupaea and ??? I don't want to see Wainui at centre and Leger is a 10/12 who has had minimal gametime. Sullivan hasn't even played for the Chiefs this season. You need depth to cover for injuries.

Do you think Thompson might be moving with your BOP rumour?

and coz Alex is from CHCH I'm hoping the Poosaders don't make a play for him as their midfield stocks are low.

The Crusaders favour the Goodhue-Ennor combo, and Nankivell's chances of playing would be dependent on displacing Ennor and Goodhue moving back to centre.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae well I mean we did with ALB, Nankivell and Manu but he's gone now. I'd be okay with Wainui moving to centre if he needed to. I couldn't stop raving about Tupaea in the previous 2 M10 cups but he hasn't done much in super just yet. Sullivan I've never been huge on but he never gets to play in super really.
