Just saw a post from Jeff Toomaga-Allen on instragram, which included the names of players leaving the Canes.
Some I knew, Uhila, Abbott, Gibbins & Black. I couldn't remember reading anywhere that Leni Apisai and Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi are leaving.Now, TTT is from Rotorua & has played for the Chiefs U17s and I think he plays for Taranaki(?); the Chiefs are losing a halfback. Could it be that he has signed with the Chiefs?
Leni Apisai has been overtaken by Riccitelli & I assume Aumua has been signed by the Canes. Again, the Chiefs are losing a hooker. Same question.
Does anyone have more info?

Now this might explain why TTT is leaving the Canes!
The Hurricanes have signed Finlay Christie for 2 years!

@jegga He still has one season to go with Toshiba Brave Lupus. After that ... retirement maybe?
Ffs they really do give things the oddest names, Mazda Bongo Brawny, Nissan Cedric etc etc

The kind of coin he's made should let him live like a King in Upper Hutt

Chiefs halfback signings:
Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi has signed a two-year contract (2019)
Brad Weber committing to the Chiefs until 2020
Jonathan Taumateine signing for two more years (2019) -
Wow, the first signing through to 2021 goes to ... Codie Taylor! He has re-signed with NZR, the Crusaders and Canterbury for 4 years!

From an NZ POV I'd rather Christie stayed at the Chiefs and got game time and a starting spot, I really like the cut of his jib.
TTT, for a very heralded age grade player, has been very underwhelming.
Good trade by the Canes.

Two Chiefs signings...
Luke Jacobson until 2020 and Tiaan Falcon for a 2 year deal.
I imagine Falcon sees an easier path to getting starts at the Chiefs as opposed to at the Canes.
There isn't much after DMac.. Even DMac is a question mark for the 10 jersey..

I suspect the Chiefs don't want to take a punt on him getting a Scotland call up whereas they are hedging bets on either TTT or JT coming through good.

Just heard that the Blues signed Leni Apasai, missed what else it said, whether he was to be the other hooker with Moulds or to replace Moulds.

“He will add important depth as well as competition to the position with All Black James Parsons and Northland captain Matt Moulds as the hookers in the Blues squad for 2018.”
