Chiefs 2022
-
What about George Dyer for Moli? Would like to see Mitch Jacobson Kapeli and Tikoilosome in the mix. Just maybe Dawai.
-
I’d like to give Moli one more chance - I wish we could apply to carry an extra person for players coming back from long term injury. If (big if) he gets fit, he’s an international level prop and we dont have that many of those around.

Hearing that North Harbour utility Moses Leo is heading to Bay of Plenty and possibly the Chiefs.
-
That is disappointing. But makes some sense if his aim is national sevens squad. If Chiefs lured him and are letting the likes of Wrampling and Kneepkens go then I am annoyed with them.

Was that on us or did he choose because his partner was up there too? (I seem to remember that his partner also plays)
-
Leo is a good prospect has the speed to play wing
-
@arhs said in Chiefs 2022:
@cliff Chiefs need a power winger though
I think Dawai is the only real option, unless they go overseas
-
Tikoisolomone looks good
-

I meant as a power winger, specifically - but there are a few talented wings running around
-
Yep. I hope is grabbed by Chiefs
-
Anyone got anymore whispers of signings? I'm kinda bored and need some juice.
-
Who are the players that need replacing am guessing Sullivan, wainui, reihana, boshier, tahuriorangi perhaps poihipi and from the rumuors we have signed narawa,Thompson am hoping Cortez has a contract would love to have dyer or the big bop prop, wrampling I heard a rumour about moses Leo in this forum but am sure there will be a few surprises
-
The other thing is whether the Chiefs are going to appoint a new forwards coach to replace Barnes. That would be my preference rather than promoting Nick White (current scrum coach), as that wasn't a success the last time.
-
-
Maybe Stuff will also publish an article about the likely Chiefs squad before Monday.
By my count the only positions that may need to be filled are:
5th lock - I would re-sign Laghlan McWhannell if he is off-contract
2 loose forwards - options would be Karpik, Parker, Florence and M Jacobson (it might only be Boshier's replacement so one of the latter two)
3rd halfback - has to be Cortez Ratima
4th Midfielder - no Walden now to replace Sullivan, Wrampling is the obvious choice
6th outside back - the elusive power winger -
At this point, we’ll the have the 3rd to 5th best NZ squad in the comp (good set of locks), so I don’t have a lot of hope for us. Perhaps a plucky win over the Blues or Saders would be a highlight, but I doubt either of those.

Your props,Hookers and LF,s are pretty good .
-
Outside backs have been pretty weak the past few seasons narawa is a good addition we need another strike weapon out wide

11, 14 and 15 are probably the only positions where you can't say for certain who McMillan will select in his best XV. The rest of the backline is predictable.
-
@cliff scrap the Moses Leo rumour, has been asked by NZ sevens to stay in their programme which also means he will be staying with harbour
-
@steven-harris Why would Leo have to stay with NH? Most of those sevens players end up playing for BOP if they are based there.
-
Good to read that Harris has a plan for life after rugby.

-
I am hearing a Rumour Dawai signed with the Chiefs.
-
I was hoping they would go for Regan Ware. Dawai has limited confidence under high ball but is an imposing figure
-
I like dawai he has plenty of x factor and size which we really lack defence and high ball skills can be improved
-
I would also hope we signed George dyer, tom Florence, wrampling and Cortez ratima a backline of 9 Weber 10 josh ioane 11 Mosese dawai 12 tupaea 13 alb 14 narawa 15 nanai seturo could cause some damage

He still looks very raw, and prone to mistakes. Tikoisolomone is a more complete winger at this stage.

Tikoisolomone in nz babas team to play heartland so would mean he hasnt been signed
-
Speaking of which, I assume that Bent will be replaced in the Baabaas team.
