Dallas McLeod

Uh, yeah.

I really like Dallas McLeod to Exeter.

Strong.

Um, a bit left field.

We were talking about the wish list, the Christmas wish list for... for the Warriors and maybe an early Christmas wish list for rugby fans who they might like to see on the end of year tour.

Here's one from Kenny T. Warriors should sign Kirifi as a middle forward and Dallas McLeod as a centre.

I think Dallas McLeod's off the market.

He's heading off overseas.

Both would suit the rules.

That's some big numbers.

You think of players, Dallas McLeod would have been on that deal to stay playing Super Rugby here.

Brett Cameron, I think, was as well, and many others.

That was part of the collective agreement, of course, and was seen as a way to, as you said, stop players from leaving, going overseas.

So that's where I think potentially some of their depth in certain positions

their players out are scott co russie tuema martin maloney christianser charlie chapman uh tour lenny katai will rig dan john and their players in are abu ladze harry wilson but not the uh the australian fella um sam walston home dallas mcleod will bust and sam harris

Yeah, so I don't know.

I usually take Iketai.

But on the same token, I think Will Butt is a very clever signing coming in.

I think he's always been performing at a pretty high standard for Bath.

And then Dallas McLeod is one of those sort of wildcard options coming in, obviously, from Crusaders, played a lot of 12, a lot of 13 on the wing for them, and then even played a couple of games for the All Blacks 15 as well.

So a very tidy player, one that we don't know what mass is about but he could come in and make a bit of a difference from there but i think the only other signing of note really is is nika abeladze um who will provide some uh yeah bulk up front in the uh the absence of scott ceo um But yeah, to be honest, for me, I actually don't want to make this about why Chiefs aren't going to make the top four.

If he's playing NPC, you can still use him.

Dallas McLeod maybe, but he's going overseas.

Uh, Tai Lisi.

Yeah, but yeah.

We're losing Charlie Chapman, we're losing Will Beckinsale.

Dallas McLeod and Will Butt, Lenny Cattell and Will Rigg.

sam harris dan john you can literally go there are literal direct replacements for players we knew were leaving

yeah i mean and i mean sam harris could be kind of like he's a bit like that he's kind of covering like dan john hodge kind of loss but then i think this year as well you'll see a lot more of like nick lilly wimbush yeah um those kind of guys So, I mean, we signed to two nines.

coming back.

I'm absolutely happy, yeah.

I think Will Butt is probably an improvement on Rigg, but obviously we'll see the game tape and now the last one this Dallas McLeod I'll be honest with you I've seen nothing I know a few of you you've been watching a bit of his

yeah I've seen him play for the Crusaders handy handy handy utility back five player if that makes sense
