    It's clearly lesser opposition if Suliasi played as well as you said.

    I wonder if there's any substance to the rumour that the Force are courting Shaun Stevenson from the Chiefs to replace Bailey Kunzle as outside centre?

    All Rugby do have him still contracted for next season?
    Handy player though.

    If he's already contracted for next season then it doesnt make much sense to look at him to replace Kunzle next year.

    You would think that to be self apparent, but I guess you never know what's going on behind the scenes with a bit of horse trading.

    I rated Chase, and I think Petaia is another step up. Play him at 13 or 14 - he's got some serious pace and he's an elusive runner. He has had a few injuries for sure, but he's not afraid of contact, and he's a very elusive runner too.

    Getting a bit concerned that we haven't seen Hamish Stewart's signing yet - will it make a difference for him if he gets a Wallaby cap or two in terms of a top-up?

    Hamish is locked in and signed already for 2025 (5 August 2024 he was re-signed officially)

    Just saw a post from four days ago (ie day before yours Todd) on a Fbk forum of rumour he was being pursued by NZ Warriors.
    My guess is he is angling for an extension with the Chiefs...

    Kane Kotecka posted a couple of photos from the Force gym, one with BPA, one I think featuring Nic Dolly's mullet, captioned "Back to it".
    Campbell Parata- "He's back"

    Interesting times...

    Very happy to see Kane back and hope he regains the form he had before his "forced sabbatical".

    I suspect it will a similar contract as the one Taqele Naiyaravoro had last year, training contract and lets see what happens...

    He does have Tizzano, Champion de Crespigny, Callan and now Dane Sawyers probably in front of him. I think after Carlo, Dane probably has the highest ceiling.

    Does dane play the fetcher role? (have to admit, I haven't been motivated to actually watch any of the mountain of footage to answer that question myself)

    We do need another traditional openside to support/compete with Carlo. In that role, Ollie is the prospect (maybe not so much, he might have put on enough mass to match the ticker he's clearly shown) which would make Kane a pretty good option (assuming he's maintained conditioning somehow)
