@bovidae
thats the big question
i think stevenson had contract for next season.wainui might not be the best player but has heaps of mana and would die for the cause.lowe probaly has next year in contract. poihipi /sullivan most in danger and could be unfair to replace .tiatia could be in firing line as well. simply we need more xfacter out wide as cliff said so a tough decision might have to be made.
i did hear a whisper that gatland could be on move but he still has 2 years on his contract i believe.
if i was picking gatland/sullivan/tiatia/poihipi in that order on chopping block -
@oleoleole I wish the coaches could see what we see his talent is obvious and with good coaching could be a weapon out wide
-
The problem is I don't think we have alot of spots to be filled for next year but if the coaches are wise they will know we really lacked flair out wide I have no qualms with our forward pack maybe sign finau maybe a hooker if Harris doesn't resign our midfield looks good I think they will sign wrampling if tahuriorangi doesn't have a contract next year I'd go for Cortez lee ratima or Cameron roigard with retallick back and cane I think we will be good

So looks like McKenzie may not be back for the Chiefs next year: a huge blow if true.
-
@canes4life I hope it's only a sabbatical like contract and he comes back for the ABs aiming for the next RWC. I think his selection in the ABs this year might be a pointer that it is?

@gt12 nah I believe @Steven-Harris said he had a good source that Nock is heading to the Chiefs.
Then I am pleased. I wonder if that means that Weber is moving on? He’s yet to be re-signed @Stargazer ?
It's time for Weber to move on tbh. We've got Roe and possibly Nock. Unsure what TTT is up to.
There was a dig at TTT in the Stuff article on the AB naming suggesting that after his one season selection he partied way too hard over the summer and burned some bridges. Could be gossip, could be the reason why even at the Chiefs he fell out of favour.
He ended up #2 at the Bay behind Luke Campbell last year too…

At his age, with a WC 2 years away, he can fuck off and stay here.
Dude, when did you get so angry?
Most of his value comes at Super level, and he’s lucky to be in the ABs 23. Why give him a sabbatical?
-
@donsteppa speaking of, Luke Campbell might be the unlucky one at the Canes if they go with Perenara, Roigard and Booth/Enari for next year. Is there room at the Chiefs for Campbell? I thought he was really solid for us the year.

The first part of your post is straight up bullshit, he was freaking valuable in his last full non injury test series, as @Canes4life notes we missed his impact in 2019.
Secondly, I don't think he's been given a "sabbatical", but if TJP can come back after a trip to Japan then I think DMac has got a reasonable chance of doing it too.

I hope so. He’s a good player and it looks like he gives everything 100%.
