@Higgins i see the dilemma players face when deciding to make the switch to the Axemen. its a make or break i guess. all the best to them this year im hoping yous have better results then last year. ive seen pre season videos the boys are training hard. keep an eye on David Johnson aka Vika! that boys a gun!!
id be sure to yarn to Sonny next time i see him at paknsave about his Tight head playing days haha. He kept that under wraps. Good old Martin luckie! we played touch rugby and flag there everyday growing up. i can imagine what you went through being thrown in the deep end by your team not showing up then having to lace up. i remember the cold muddy games at good ol Martin Luckie Park. A proud moment for you!. Junior is forever repping "the mighty Axemen" everywhere he goes even on social media, would not suprise me if he has another run this year! a good lad.
also, i forgot Billy Proctor originally from Axemen! like his dad.. all these clubs claiming him "theirs" is funny to see

Sullivan re-signs for one more year.

Yay?
Meh. Once we have all our midfielders back including Barrett he won't see much gametime. But good to have a player that can cover midfield and wing.

Glad we have him this year.
And does go ok on the wing as well. -
Hearing a whisper that a returning from injury All Black, possibly 2, will be named in the squad to take on Moana this week. A big boost for the Canes
-
Likely Aumua and Lomax but hopefully it's Proctor. We need his defence.

Love extends contract
Now he's got to get fit, back to form, and Razor has to give him a go

Back to form is key. He looks bloody fit already but it will take him three to four rounds to get going again.
Great signing though. Key to the Canes future and hopefully key to our success.

Now we just need to work out if Godfrey can be the answer at 10
Canes need to persist with him. He’s looked the goods at times and that’s with pretty ordinary players outside him. Once we get our best backline on the park we’ll see what he’s really made of.
-
@Canes4life agree! we need to stick with him, needs time, he'll figure it out ..hes our next BB! form a combination with Riley, and Proctor outside him ..daayumm

I just took my family to the Life Flight Open Day at Lyall Bay / Wellington Airport and was a bit disappointed with the Hurricanes. 1000s of people there, plenty of families and kids and overall it was a very well run event. The Hurricanes had a stand with a few passing games set up for the kids. However, not one Hurricanes player bothered to show up. All they had was the mascot and a Marketing chick manning the space and the kids were a bit bemused at what to do because there was no one showing them the ropes.
Jesus Christ Hurricanes, I’m sick of this club not getting the basics right. It’s not hard to send a few players a long to interact with the kids. Missed opportunity as per usual.
Grant Elliot was there with Life Flight and he was interacting with all the kids, showing them a couple cricket techniques and the right way to do it.

@Canes4life Problem is on a bye that's the only weekend they get with their families

It’s one of their main sponsors. I’m sure they could have found a couple players that could have stepped up. No excuses and looks really bad in what was a pretty big community event.
-
@Canes4life Totally agree even if it’s there wider training group players at least someone even the injured players.

100%, the only organisation at that event that didn't have their shit together.

Damn don’t think Riley will be available for a few rounds yet. This was only posted four days ago:
