I was on the plane with these guys last year when they were enroute to Japan, I think (Kahui was with them).
They had them in economy - was quite funny as many of them were massive. I still remember Martie Mckenzie in the middle seat between a lock and a prop. Poor chap.

Masaga still requires development?

holy fuck! As soon as i saw that comment from Crucial, i just fucking knew you would say that you predictable bastard!
-
TKB is to be rested anyway. Taumateine will start vs the Sunwolves and Richard Judd will be on the bench.
-
That's a horrendous injury list! I hope Sam can be spared from further injury; for his own sake, the Chiefs and the Shield Snorters ...
-
Leitch is going to move back to the Sunwolves in 2019 if all goes well.
-
Wasn't he just talking about wanting to stay at the Chiefs a few weeks back? Yeah, found it:
Have to wonder if Cooper is quietly showing him the door but who knows, maybe Jamie Joseph and Filo Tiatia have managed to change his mind.
He's been one of my favourite players over the last few years but to be honest, I don't mind him heading off. He's getting on in years and the Chiefs have a few young and promising players like Seu, Brown and Sanders who should be given the shot to step up, so it's not bad timing.
-
The abrasive and skilful loose-forward duo of Mitchell Brown and Lachlan Boshier are the latest additions to the 2018 Gallagher Chiefs squad!
-
I've never heard of him, and this would be disappointing if true. There is enough local talent available.
