[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 551079, member: 43875"] Afeaki is better around the park than Tameifuna for sure but you simply can not overrate the job Tameifuna did for the chiefs last year, his ability to simply brick wall a scrum had positive benefits for the chiefs that went basically right across the park and surely the huge lift in Taumalolo's scrum game last year had a LOT to do with the fact the tight head side of the scrum was rock solid most of the time allowing him to manipulate his side as needed. From what I've seen so far though as far as off season from Tameifuna is that he's way behind where he should be, Afeaki will have to start as the frontline tighthead. They need to lash Tameifuna's hands to an Exercycle and bar him from entering the local pie shop and hope he can start contributing at some point. If he's 140+kg he needs to get down to 130 asap.
