@Canes4life what I find intriguing is the likes of Love and Kirifi who were in the ABs but never played does that make their rest period the same as the ABs that played. They don’t play at all for the last couple of weeks.

I understand they're entitled to four / five weeks AL and use this as an opportunity to do so.

Not just about physical rest though in fairness. Mental rest is key too... and they have been doing a ton of training.

From the Turbos SM:
The Hurricanes are getting stuck into preseason training and it has been great seeing Manawatū players outside of the main squad getting a crack.
Hurricanes wider squad - Flyn Yates, Vernon Bason
Replacement player - Joe Gavigan
National development contracted players - Liam O'Connor, Mosese Bason, Jai Tamati, Logan Wallace -

To my understanding Ruben Love was returning to NZ to have ankle surgery. Told it’s likely to just be a tidy up and shouldn’t miss the start of Super.

This would be better on the Saders thread then wouldn’t it?

Ankle or calf I think. Just minor surgery according to @Landers92, he should be sweet for round 1.

With the first pre season game a few weeks away, who's everyone seeing as the starting 10? I've got a feeling they'll go with Cashmore at 10 and Godfrey at 15 with Love out for some time. I'm really hoping Hohepa doesn't get first crack just because he's the more experienced guy. He showed last year for the Crusaders despite his experience he just wasn't up to it. Harkin is also involved so maybe we might see him get a run in pre season as well.

I would start with Cashmore but I think the Canes will start with Hohepa and use Cashmore off the bench initially
I think they'll be cautious of asking too much of him too early. Looking at last NPC he only started 4 of his 11 games
