@stargazer I'm hoping they will stick with Love, even with his inexperience he is sharper than JGB.
How many players are there still to be signed? I think I remembered Holland saying in a recent interview that they may look at a fourth first five option with Love also covering fullback.
I'm against that idea aswell as I think Love has looked alot more comfortable playing 10 than 15, plus Jordie has that position locked down.

@canes4life Need another 9 (with Roigaard injured) plus O’Reilly signing as the number 3 Hooker
Need another 6/lock to replace Fifita, need another centre/wing to replace Aso/Laumape and someone to slot into the wing spot Visignia had. -

Players I'd like us to select:
Hooker: anyone but O'Reilly
Locks: Two still need to be announced - Big Izzy is an obvious one but Geoff Cridge wouldn't be a bad option after having a good run without getting injured.
Loose forwards: Ardie still needs to announce his signing so that leaves one more opening. I like the look of TK Howden, Delany also looks like a solid option who can also cover lock.
Halfbacks: two still need to be announced. Jamie Booth is all but guaranteed but I think if we can get someone like Enari, that would be a solid trio.
Midfield: front runner is Danny Toala unless they bring someone in from outside the catchment.
Outsides: Could really be anyone at this stage, plenty of good wingers/fullbacks unsigned from the NPC. -

@canes4life I hope Kianu Kereru-Symes recovers from his injury in time to still get sufficient game time, especially because I think Ash Dixon will have to leave for Japan before the season is over. If Kianu plays well, he could be a good option for the third hooker spot. After all, he's been in the environment for two years.
Edit: the Highlanders may be interested, too. He's briefly been with them, too. IIRC in 2020.

Cortez Ratima from Waikato, guy's been starting over Xavier Roe.

@kiwi_expat I'd be fuming I'd the Chiefs didn't have him in the set-up. But we've seen stranger things.

@stargazer he already has.
-
@canes4life Possibly, but it hasn't been officially confirmed yet. That's why I haven't posted it in the Exodus thread, yet.

@canes4life "Selon nos informations" is rather vague. That's just one of the media rumours. It is probably true, but as I said, it hasn't been confirmed by the club or player.
