    A couple of player announcements are coming today. I expect these to be the two contract extensions, as traditionally new signings haven't been announced mid-season.

              Nothing like picking up a world class player that should be playing international level from the canes 3rd XV.

                  Good on him for always sharing sauce and being very specific about it.

                  He better bring some good news to the Chiefs at some point....

                      not only staying in dunedin next year...through till 2028! thats a big extension

                      thats hugely reassuring, not just the quality of the players we're keeping, theyre happy to commit long term, not just one season extension, all four that have extended have to be pushing for the AB's ad feel Dunedin can get them there

                            I think this also dispels the rumours that it is a toxic camp. Four very good players all re-signing, who could easily have left if this was the case.

                              i hope so, or at very least maybe if there was tension, its has been sorted....or the culprit isn;t coming back?

                                There were tensions because guys were frustrated about results, but that is incredibly normal. At no stage was it ‘toxic’.

                                    Alongside Fakatava re-signing five of the key guys all saying we are in for the long-term.

                                    They may grumble about Jake being a hard arse. But he is keeping the guys we need.

                                      Very, very, very good. He still drives the team culture, all the boys love him.

                                          Do people not want people to post rumours? George's hit rate isn't as good as Nogusta but it's better than plenty of others

                                          I would rather people post what they hear
