    McWhannell

    Laghlan McWhannell? 1.98m 114kg? And at 23 years that is an ok starting size I would have thought..looks heavier than 114 I would have thought: https://www.chiefs.co.nz/player/laghlan-mcwhannell

    @Yeetyaah Narawa 15, Lowe 14.

    Nankivell has to be at 11 or 12, he's such an influential player on attack, but also his work off the ball.

    A linchpin on defense and a real creator & great physicality he brings to a backline that lacks size.

    Tupaea best at 12 than 11.. so Nankivell at 11 it is. Seturo is defensively frail & on the small side.

    The Chiefs beat the Crusaders with Nankivell at 11, Tupaea at 12, who were both instrumental.

    The way your post reads (or, how I read your post) it seems like Nankivell is a better 12 than Tupaea?!

    No news about players but an addition to the Chiefs board. They still need to appoint a CEO.

    @FakatavaAllBlack Thought he was going to play for Japan, wouldn't signing with the Chiefs make him ineligible for the Cherryblossoms?

    Got a cheeky tease from the Chiefs insta. Signings can't be too far off.

    @ARHS Already announeced in June, unless they extend the one-year contract with more years.

    McMillan and then Randle were sitting near me at the Waikato-Hawke's Bay game so I am assuming they are trying to watch the games involving the 4 Chiefs teams to look at particular players. Outside backs (to replace Lowe and Tiatia) and props (Mafileo and Ta'avao off-contract, questions over the fitness of Moli and O'Neill) would be the urgent positions to fill. And then how many 1st 5s are needed in the squad.

    @Bovidae If you need a prop then Abraham pole who was injury cover this yr for Moana would be worth a look although he's a loosehead

    I didn't see the full match but was that Mafileo with his back to the camera near the crowd at the end of the NH- Ta$man game? If so, he had a major neck brace on. Not good for a prop who needs to scrum.

    @FakatavaAllBlack Any new LH prop would only be the 3rd rated behind Ross and Norris. Too early for the younger LHs like Bartlett with minimal NPC experience. Cobb is only 23, and has been part of the WTG. He might be the next option.
