[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 677619, member: 24910"] Graham is an excellent pick-up - from what I've seen he's been as good as any LH in the ITM Cup this season. If he continues his strong form he could well push for a starting spot in the Chiefs, as while Manu and MackIntosh are solid they aren't standouts at Super Rugby level. Can't say Tokolahi has really impressed me, but to be fair I haven't seen a lot of him (but who has?). I see the signing of Allardice has been confirmed too. He's a good solid lock who does the basics well - exactly what the Chiefs selectors look for in their locks. Tamanivula has also been signed by the Chiefs. He may still be a little raw, but more than warrants a Super Rugby contract given his potential and versatility. I see Kerr-Barlow is in doubt for the entire Super Rugby season, with the Chiefs seeking dispensation to include another halfback. That must be a slight blow for Kerr-Barlow's RWC aspirations, and certainly opens the door slightly for another halfback if they have a very strong Super Rugby season. [/QUOTE]
