    With Lowe and now Tiatia leaving that is two outside backs that need replacing. I hope McMillan and co have some suitable replacements lined up.

    All jokes aside, at Super level, George Bridge would be an instant and significant upgrade on all of our outside backs.

    I think he would make an excellent Super fullback. He's not slow, and he's actually a very good link player.

    However if the game plan is throw it to Bridgey and wait for the magic then yeah, it won't go well.

    I actually agree and think I'd prefer him rather at NPC level than who we just inherited off you blokes. Bridge would have been steady, instead we now have Tiatia who's as likely to be a match winner or match loser.

    I buy into that as long as it meant DMac at 10 and we found some wingers that could make breaks/beat a man with power or speed.

    He would actually make a decent Super level 15 (although I really can't remember his kicking abilities). He does read games well and has a good basic skillset. Just couldn't break his way through 1 ply toilet paper.

    We do already have Trask. (Bridge would actually be an upgrade)

    @Crucial We need strike power on the wing, so Stevenson/ENS could be used at fullback (assuming DMac is at 10).

    Slow but not safe, I think you'll find.

    Are there any actual rumours around Bridge to the Chiefs or are we just stirring the pot 😬

    What's Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepken's contract like at the Blues? Surely being a Naki boy the Chiefs would be looking at him considering his limited minutes in Auckland... just a thought.

    @Canes4life I've mentioned that he could be a target, for the reasons you state.

    @Canes4life he posted on his Instagram and it seemed like he was leaving. Some of the Blues players were commenting seeming like they were kinda saying goodbye

    The Blues signed him for 3 years, so he should have one more left. I guess he could be released early like Narawa was? Fullback is well covered and he’s been passed by Lam in the wing rankings

    He would be an immediate upgrade for us and would start somewhere (14,15).
