    I think the Canes are in trouble next season as far as playmakers go. Shame as the rest of the squad looks strong.

    Classic Canes, our timing is always off. I think we are still strong enough to reach Semis and above though, however that will only happen if we keep our main forwards fit i.e. Coles, Ardie, Lomax etc.

    @Canes4life Don't forget the locks. I reckon Scrafton will show some real improvement at the Canes. If he steps up and stays fit, Canes could have a pretty decent scrum.

    Not with JGB at the helm. Our only hope, if there is no major signing, is that the proposed JB at 10 experiment is a roaring success

    @canefan

    JBarrett at 10 would solve a lot of problems about having their best players available all on the park too. Personally, I don't think he'll work out there, but it might be a better option than what's available

    @canefan I'd rather see them give the starts to Fletcher Smith. Smith still has the potential for improvement while JGB already reached his (very low) ceiling about 2 years ago. Smith showed a lot of promise at the end of the 2019 season.

    @Stargazer I agree re Garden Bachop, I was willing to give him time to showcase his talent but unfortunately, he just isn't cutting it. I would go with Fletcher Smith aswell and hope he doesn't repeat his performances from this year when he played at 10.

    @Yeetyaah That's if Plumtree gives him a crack. Remember he still thinks Blackwell is a Super Rugby level lock.

    They should give McClutchie a shot, was netter than Falcon last year and Falcon is a three year Super player (mostly injured). Invest in a young guy before he winds up at the Highlanders with Fakatava.

    @Nepia Plumtree was in the stands at the Hawkes Bay vs Southland game.

    I wonder who he was there to see that he hasn't already signed.

    @Hooroo Geez, I hope not ...

    I was hoping McClutchie and/or Rakete-Stones (at least).

    @Hooroo is that just a guess or do you have a source? Please no.

    @Hooroo if true, there goes our chances. Fletcher Smith is our only hope. 😕

    At least you would have heaps of money in the bank from Selling Barrett to Auckland
