THREE KEY MEN

-

DAMIAN MCKENZIE

McKenzie is the spark in the side’s o ence. It will be built around his running game and ability to make plays o the cu and if he’s unavailabl­e you will see their o ence become a bit stagnant.

ANTON LIENERT-BROWN

Lienert-Brown on the other hand is a vital cog in the Chiefs system for his experience and defensive ability. He was by far the best tackler in their backline in 2018 and his presence of mind to make plays at both ends of the pitch is an important asset to the Chiefs.

BRODIE RETALLICK

The third key man for the Chiefs is Brodie Retallick. While they’re deep at lock, Retallick brings a presence unmatched by many other players in the competitio­n. He has the ability to lift the entire side with his own play and sets the intensity for the rest of the team to match.
