11 A power wing

George Bridge is your man.

@Bovidae Nah he looks younger maybe mid 20s quite solid maybe a forward any one in wider training squads with a similar name.

Working in Wellington? I had a quick look at the 2021 Chiefs Dev team that played, and the replacement players named for this season, and there was no one who it could have been.

[mikey07]

@Bovidae No worries thanks anyway.

[Bovidae]

@mikey07 It could be a WTG player from earlier seasons but we'd need some more info (e.g., province he played for) to make an educated guess. I'm curious myself now.

Can you rule out the hooker, Seb Siataga and Malo Tuitama (think he is in Japan now)?

@Bovidae I’m only going off what my 9 year old has said if I get to meet him I’ll ask him

Family goals. I hope you get to meet your son one day.

[mikey07]

@Bones Always rely on you for a good laugh.

[Yeetyaah]

Surely someone's heard a small rumour here or there? Want some juice someone pls help.

Well, the Chiefs are after a Sponsorship Manager at the moment if anyone is keen (https://www.seek.co.nz/job/57690171) but that may not be the goss you're after

[Yeetyaah]

@Donsteppa if it means I can fuck the Gallaghers off I'll take it

[Bovidae]

Still no player signings but...

@Bovidae ffs are we the only team that hasn't announced a new signing? Dmac not included

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah Chiefs HQ was busy today - two media releases in one day.

Some news about player signings would be better though!

This Roar article has Inga Finau as a departure from Crusaders to Chiefs but doesn't have him as incoming in their Chiefs list.
It is just The Roar though.

@Crucial It's a bad article. That's all.

Let's just list anyone who played for the Chiefs this season then.

Finau was only a late-season injury replacement for ALB, but the only way he makes the Chiefs 2023 squad is as direct replacement for Poihipi. Unlikely.

The Chiefs have acknowledged Brown's departure too.
