And he'd have to bring both chips to put on his shoulders.

McMillan has been in regular contact with Cane and has known of his decision for a little while. You would hope planning has been in place.

@Bovidae said in Chiefs 2024:

Jacobson has the most breakdown turnovers in SR according to a graphic that was shown during the Blues-Hurricanes game.

Do you know what the number was? I have the stats for 'Turnovers won' so it must be a subset of this:

[Duluth]

As it's a Chiefs thread I'll point out that Vaa'i does really well on a lot of stats. I barely notice him when watching though

[Bovidae]

@Duluth I can't remember exactly but I am sure it was higher than 8. Jacobson was above McReight.

[Bovidae]

As it's not paywalled. An article about Simon Parker and the injuries he has had to overcome.

The Waikato Times

[Mr Fish]

Simon Parker, Laghlan McWhannell and Gideon Wrampling make up a trio of incredibly talented but incredibly unfortunate Waikato/Chiefs players (though Parker now with Northland and McWhannell with the Blues).

Chiefs prop Reuben O’Neill has been suspended for three weeks after being found guilty of “physical abuse” by the Sanzaar judicial committee.

The swinging arm on Fa'amausili in a clean-out. Ahio will get more game time in these weeks.

[Bovidae]

From a Stuff article by Aaron Goile (paywalled):

• The coaches want Xavier Roe to get 80 mins for his club.
• Ollie Norris has delayed concussion from the head clash in the MP game.
• Samipeni Finau should be available next game.
• Josh Lord has had surgery on his knee and could be back to fitness for the England series.

Pretty much confirmed that the Chiefs will host the Reds in a quarter final unless the Force make a miraculous comeback in the game on atm.

[African Monkey]

Repeat of last year's quarter final.

I don't know, but I never take too much notice of the fan's choice as it is a popularity contest. The players and coaches choice means more.

[gt12]

I imagine that @Duluth could provide some stats, but my feeling is that Vaa'ii is a bit of a suitcase type player.

[Bovidae]

About Samisoni Taukei’aho, and how he has deliberately paced himself during SR.
