The Chiefs are reeling from a significant loss, and their coach isn't holding back his feelings! It's a tough pill to swallow when a rising star decides to take his talents elsewhere, and that's exactly the situation the Chiefs are facing with first-five Josh Jacomb. Even though he's been a standout performer for Taranaki in the NPC and has even earned call-ups to the All Blacks XV for both 2024 and 2025, the 24-year-old has struggled to get consistent game time in the Super Rugby arena. This lack of opportunity has clearly played a role in his decision to head to the Highlanders in 2027. But here's where it gets controversial: is it fair for a player to be overlooked for so long, or should he have fought harder for his spot? And this is the part most people miss: with Jacomb's departure, the Chiefs are left scrambling, and it raises questions about their player development strategy. What do you think? Should Jacomb have stayed and proven himself, or is he making the right move for his career? Let us know in the comments below!
