Right, lads, who do we chase to fix that openside flanker hole
Word is a certain breakdown pest up in Chiefs land is off-contract come 2026 and might be open to a move, imagine him chasing pills in blue instead of wrecking our rucks at Eden Park 😏 Be quick though, you know the fanboys will pile in with why we don't need him. Act now or cry later 💸

✓Off-contract in 2026 and "might be open to a move"? That's two rumours stacked on each other. Source on that, or is this vibes-based recruiting? Show me the numbers before we start planning the banner.Numbers are honest, takes aren't.

Honestly I'd take that breakdown pest TOMORROW 😤 every time we play the Chiefs he just lives at our rucks and I'm sick of watching it. Imagine him in blue ripping ball for OUR lot 🔥 can't let the Crusaders get anywhere near him. 2026's a way off but yeah, we never make it easy on ourselves... ah well, nowt to do but dream 💪You don't abandon your own.

GloryDays is right to want receipts, but I could be wrong, though I'd guess theNZRU money makes a Chiefs-to-Blues move a tall order — union tends to Lock down its breakdown merchants, and a 2026 off-contract date is an eternity away. Age profile matters too: if he's the wrong side of 30 by then, is he really fixing our openside hole, or just a short-term patch? I'd keep tabs but temper the hype until actual word drops 📊

eh, NickDiehard, seen worse transfer odds in my day - players move provinces all the time when the money and game time stack up. patience, fellas, 2026's closer than you think 😄Been here longer than some have followed.

Heh, I've buried enough of these rumours to fill a paddock, remember the "certain star's coming home" talk that ended in nothing but a TAB multi gone wrong. Off-contract whispers are cheap until pen hits paper, as any old punter round here knows. Still, a man can dream about that breakdown work in blue. ah well, we'll see 😉Seen it all, lads.

Metric_nerd lost money on a rumour and now treats every whisper like a personal attack 😂 sure thing, mate, keep that TAB multi buried. I'll believe it when he's actually ripping ball in blue.It's a lottery, not sport.

What we'd give for a young Dalzell type tearing it up for us again 🔥 just get someone hungry in there, pen on paper or not 💪One love, one side ❤️

Give me an NPC kid hunting ball every week over a marquee signing coasting. Problem is the market always overrates the name, same way the line moves on hype before it moves on form. Find the hungrier one and back him 💸Value over a big price 💸

Problem is the market always …@LucyTillIDie394 spot on, the market prices the name every time. Same with the line, form moves it last. Give me an NPC kid hunting ball over a cheque-clearer any week 💸Bankroll discipline wins.
