Sititi was meant to get 15 mins against the Force, but injuries changed the plan.

ALB still in sling, doent look good

[Yeetyaah]

Broken collarbone for ALB apparently. Gone for the season.

@Yeetyaah won't be around next season either using his sabbatical at Dave Rennie's Japanese Club. think George hinted at this last week but didn't reveal any names 🙂

George

sounds like he's back at the Chiefs next year then

What do you guys think about valynce te whare as an option for next year seems like he is tearing it in Japan I've always liked him since his days at Waikato

[Yeetyaah]

@cliff Defs be open to him returning. Always thought he'd do well back when he was playing for Waikato. Deceptively fast for a dude of his size.

Bummer. I can't like this post. The X-ray doesn't look good. I would think it is only for SR as usually up to 12 weeks for recovery.

So Wrampling comes onto the bench and Narawa can be used as a backup. Gibson Popoalii has been the WTG cover. We wouldn't want to lose any more midfield backs with Poihipi also gone for the season.

In the news as rumour, tbc. But probably correct

1News understands that Anton Lienert-Brown will join former Chiefs head coach Dave Rennie at Kobe next year.

[Yeetyaah]
