'No one wanted me': Surprise reason why Otere Black is leaving NZ
Despite only starting to enter his peak years of professional rugby, Otere Black has called time on his career in New Zealand and is set to head to Japan following the NPC.
The Chiefs have Bryn Gatland and Kaleb Trask on their books for next year while Rivez Reihana is also expected to return to the franchise.
Don't think we've had this confirmed yet

Damian McKenzie will skip Super Rugby next year after signing a lucrative deal to replace Beauden Barrett at Japanese club Suntory.
At this point, the Herald understands McKenzie is yet to complete a contract to return to New Zealand Rugby which is holding up any official announcement.
McKenzie owns a house in Hamilton and has played 95 games for the Chiefs since 2015 and is, therefore, favoured to return to the franchise, but a deal is yet to be reached.
He could yet depart at the end of the year without a New Zealand contact, as TJ Perenara opted to do last year.
Enjoy your cash, and well done, I would cash in too.
But fuck you a little bit and fuck the administration - we are totally fucked for 2022 now and dependent on him re-signing.
So from a Chiefs fan perspective, fuck waiting for him, go get someone to replace him.

I am sure (hope) that DMac and the Chiefs have been in discussions for a while so some planning has been done. Trask or Gatland at 1st 5. Both have strengths and weaknesses. I wouldn't want Trask at fullback and Gatland at 1st 5 though. Time for Stevenson to step up at fullback.

Which means we will be the worst team in NZ. You know that.

Really needed Bailyn to convince Zarn to move.

The Canes don't have a 1st 5 better than either.

@gt12 fuck him? So you wouldn't leave your place of employment for a substantial payrise? You seem like a really loyal 'Fan'

@nepia We just helped out an unwanted orphan of the Hurricanes' and Chiefs' systems.
I think he was quite wanted in HB at the time, but I’m glad he’s away from the Kanes. Well, TBF, if he’d remained in Napier the Kanes would have ignored him anyway.
But I think Chiefs is the best place for him, we need to make room for RTS - I’ve got the best interest of both teams and NZ rugby as my highest priority. 😏

yeah fuck you @gt12 you disloyal bastard. You are just another @Nepia. i for one am disgusted by your attitude
also fuck you DMac. And how shit is the chiefs roster now? holy shit. DMac literally got us to the final by himself
How good chiefs fans. Next year we get Warren Gatland but no DMac. But hey, at least we have Gatland Jr, and Trask...
sobs in to coffee. Thought i would be happy to see my early years revisited...

I've been clear about this for ages, if he planned to go the Chiefs should have had a better plan in place to replace him. The big fuck you here is to the Chiefs, and the
fuck you a little bitis for him for not committing to come back.

@mariner4life How did I wind up as part of this? I’m talking about bringing a player to the Chiefs.

For franchise rugby you may have a point (the Kanes can eat a dick), for real rugby, provincial and test, I’d be top 5 loyal I reckon.

look at you, picking and choosing.
For test you don't have a choice.
Bought a Melbourne Storm jersey yet?
Bet you have a 2 year old Richmond scarf around somewhere too.Don't deny it, your denial only makes your guilt more profound
