Exeter Chiefs thread

[West Country Wail]

He's 20 that's not particularly unusually young for a winger and he's only scored like 2 times this season and has no u20s honours so not sure how he could be classed as a wunderkind.

Time will tell #BenBangersley

Exeter's Wyatt and Abuladze out for season - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/68016725

Any idea when Hodge is back? Also who is our 3rd choice FB?

Hammersley? With Winbrush on wing? Is Woodburn injured? Experience is all but gone in our back 3, not that we had much to start with

It's a shame I can't have Exeter as my English club anymore now that they're known for harbouring traitors. Hopefully Christ, Daf, Joe and a few of the other boys at the west county Welsh academy can show him the door and I can support my beloved Exeter again.

Be a real shame if the rumour about Slade being in talks with Stade is true, who replaces him?

He's been a big part of everything we've done this season, with all the young talent coming through we needed some experience to keep it going.

We need a couple of signings next season IMO, mainly 10. But do we have a 13 prospect?

I think Skinner is the long term project at 13, always have. So yes, a 10 signing looks obvious and needed. I'm actually quite gutted we couldn't tempt Atkinson as I think he would have suited our style and new direction really well. Baxter knows best. It appears quite a few teams will be trying to emulate the success of this rebuild.

I think the club will go all out for Slade though. With Gray going too we certainly have the capacity to spend if that's the plan. England duty and a 2 year contract would be lovely.

Skinner to 13 really? Ive never seen him play there? Nor do i thinks he is good enpugh to fill Slades position. I see him as a good prem 10 and nothing more.

With all who have left we are well below the cap, id prefer to develop but 1 or 2 big signings could take us to the next level, im just not sure who. Hapoy with our pack, SH IC and back 3. We need a 10/13 IMO

Im just not sure what type of players will suit us. A 10 who can kick would be a start though, Slades done some great kicks but he isnt a great kicker.

Great to see Capstick return from injury yesterday. Been out since October 2022. Looks like he's packed on a lot of muscle mass. Gonna be some serious competition for back row spots with him, Roots, Vermeulen, Fisilau, Vincent and Tshiunza.

What's the latest on Tshiunza?

I think Wimbush is the hope at 13. Looks more like a 12 to me, but I think 13 is his preference which kind of makes sense given he's quick enough to play on the wing.
