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

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.”

Interesting comment there though by their High Performance Manager.
“Leni is a player with proven Super Rugby ability and has developed leadership qualities which make him a valuable acquisition for the Blues,” said Blues high performance manager, Tony Hanks."
If Apisai is all you say he is it was still not enough to keep him at the Hurricanes.
