Chiefs 2025

[Bovidae]

McMillan is loyal. I'll be curious to see who is in the wider group now.

Is oli Mathis joining the sevens squad

Proffit and O'Neill were the second choice props last year - would be a bit of a blow to lose both (/either).

Yeah and they're both shit

[Bovidae]

TH prop depth is thin within the region. There are some good up and coming LHs though.

[ploughboy]

a big year for Ahio hope he really standup to his potential
loose forwards always was going to be interesting given the talent around 6 . would imagine Smith is the one earmarked for future.
given the talent signed out of region elsewhere bit disappointed with who we kept on the wing

Promoted another lock (Sa) but still lacking wing cover.

I see a big future for Fiti Sa. Followed him down here in CHCH, has a big future. Could be similar to a Retallick situation where he’s one that got away(Definitly not implying he’s the next Retallick, just an example). Good solid squad overall.

He just needs to grow into his body and get over the injuries. A huge unit to see up close. The Chiefs obviously rate Sa as they brought him back on a NDC contract this year after an injury-plagued season in 2023.

[Crazy Horse]

Is Sa related to the league Sa? I think he has Christchurch connections too.

[ARHS]

Hoped Kumeroa instead of another lock.

[Bovidae]

Not just a one year signing.

I think that is a good signing for him, the Chiefs and NZ.

[Bovidae]

I'm not sure how long Slater has re-signed for but ST is also signed until 2027.

[cliff]

Prop is our biggest weakness and what do the coaches see in coombes fabling

[ploughboy]

stronger team than last year , new signing or returnees a improvement on leavers

[Bovidae]

Now McMillan has to select the right 23, particularly the starting midfield and reserves.
