Hope Asaeli goes well, I played with him back in club rugby in Wanganui for Marist he was quick then too haha.

 ...i'll admit West is the best standoff available... only cause he's come out of the Chiefs development squad this year but let you in on a little secret.....he can't tackle

...Blues favourites to win at the TAB so a v good bet is Chiefs by 13 or more paying $4.80

 ...Blues have lost Hickey and they've lost Halai,... they've lost Braid, they've lost Woodcock,... they've lost...

...Chiefs by 13 or more and a big payday for Brycy...

Canes were looking good until they had a few injuries. They don't have enough depth. We will see how they do this weekend. I am with you Cloudy, we want the best team to go through & not have it down to bad luck. I think the saders are looking good now they have all their players back (except McCaw).

 Hey Sasue aren't you a Canes supporter what's this go chiefs! Bad Fan lol.
