I think he would have been dropped anyway, and it happened at the worst time, as Donald will look like a million dollars against the Cheetahs... and keep the Chiefs 10 jersey and hence the back up AB 10 jersey.
Good news for BOP's NPC campaign though!

I guess if he was going to be dropped it wouldn't have any affect on Donald looking like a million bucks agasint the cheetahs and therefore affecting his ab chances.
I don't reckon they would have dropped him

Saying they may be out for the season. Kahui shoulder again. Hasn't he just come back from a recon?? Gutted for him. Could be time for a Fruen or Stanley to step up as a backup to Conrad?? (yes i know only one game from Stanley but i am a Blues fan 
)

I doubt Delany would have been dropped either. Not good for the Chiefs. However will we see Renata promoted to the match day 22. Otherwise Bruce will be used as back up 10....OUCH
Back to the Bruce/Sweeney midfield I suspect.

I heard that it was Delany and Masaga out for the Chiefs - no mention of Kahui (who has in the last 3 games been dire for the Cheifs) goes from bad to worse though Sivi might be back this week...
To Err is human, but to really louse things up takes the Chiefs...

Sounds like it is Delany and Masaga and Kahui is OK
Salvaging something out of their disappointing season has become even tougher for the Chiefs with two key backs potentially out for the remainder of the Super 14.
First five Mike Delany will have an MRI scan today on his shoulder and Lelia Masaga will join him as he struggles with a knee problem.
Injuries have had a significant impact on coach Ian Foster's 2010 campaign.
Centre Richard Kahui took a full part in training today despite taking a heavy knock to his shoulder in the loss to the Stormers.

That must have been the knock that removed his hands from his arms.

With Delany out I think Foster should try something a bit different with Kahui. Given he is fit he will play. A certainty given all the injuries. Play him at 2nd 5 where he had a bit of success a couple years back for Waikato playing closer to the action. Get him involved and more often.
When he had that moment on Friday night when he dropped the ball and turned and shook his head showing a real lack of confidence, up until that point he had rarely even touched the "nut".
My advice would be to get him the ball as much as we see a guy like Nonu touch it.

I'd like to see Bruce go into second five and Willison start at centre. As much as I rate Kahui, he's been bloody useless this year.

Not a bad idea looking at the ABs too, am sure Henry would like to see how he went there. Be useful to cover 12/13 and wing in a squad situation. Especially as we don't have a huge amount of 12s running around.
Might distract him from whatever is ruining his form at the moment too. Can he kick?
