I've lost count on how many operations McWhannell has had in the last 3 years.
I suppose that means van den Hoven would come into the main squad.
who would win an operation count out of him and Tucker?!

@WillieTheWaiter may be time for McWhannell to take up a non contact sport

It’s amazing how many players get injured in pre season training.I am an old codger who played in the sixties and I can’t recall losing any players before the season even started.Training of course is on a different level now,but what are the events leading to these injuries.He isn’t the first and won’t be the last.Sad really.
that was when people used to train on soft grass.. when rugby was a winter sport.. and everyone half the size
my late former boss played for Qld back in the day. He used to laugh at my preseason regime. In his day preseason games were preseason. Now we had preseason training to get ready for preseason games. At one point i was training 11 months of the year, compared to his 6.

Has Catley and Gordon Brunskill had us running around the Cambridge Racecourse.Don’t recall the grass being that soft,but the alcohol the night before sitting pretty heavy!Running around the block on the road another less than soft surface.Playing a ten aside tournament at Easter in Ngahinapouri another gut buster.

Is Mcwhannell confirmed out long term or just a few weeks for healing and rehab? Presume Brown will cover and Finau and Van den Hoven are rather good cover from wtg. Not so horribly gloomy in my view.
months not weeks.

Tucker for the seriousness of his injuries. McWhannell's injuries have been restricted to his legs/knees, while Tucker has had major operations on shoulders and knees.

Shame we lost Allardice and Retallick won't be back till next year. Look very weak in second row, even if I am a fan of Vaa'i.
Inexperienced is the word I'd use. Vaa'i and Ah Kuoi to start again with Brown off the bench is probably the best option. I hope Lord get his chance too but he will need to add some bulk.

Not sure if I am slow on this news but Lindenmuth and Vialame Taulani have been added into the Chiefs training as cover (Steelers news says 'Chiefs Squad').
That looks like Lindenmuth in the photo with Taulani?
Moli is still not training, and Ross is coming back from an operation so they will be short of props.
