@Yeetyaah I’m sure there’s still time for the Canes to sign him well u and I certainly hope so.

[Tim]

Taramai is a dud signing. Pretty shocked he got a contract.

[Canes4life]

@Nepia Yeah I'm losing faith in Plumtree, does he even watch the ITM Cup? Seems like most of the signings they make are discussed before the NPC season even kicks off.

I mean I wouldn't even have Prinsep or Taramai starting in an NPC team, let alone a Super team.

[Canes4life]

@Tim 100% agree, he was useless for the Blues aswell. What position has Taramai been playing for Harbour?

[Higgins]

@Canes4life He was not wanted for the Wellington Lions the year after he made his one and only appearance during the campaign when they were relegated in 2014. Can't reall see what he has done since then that can justify granting him a Super Rugby contract. It looks like the wooden spoon Blues outfit did not put up much of a battle to retain his services.

[Tim]

@Canes4life number 8

[Tim]

@Higgins He didn’t have a Blues contract this year.

[Darren]

I can't understand the Canes right now, this is not going to go well judging by our signings so far, it looked good initially, but I can't follow their decisions lately.

[BerhamporeNinja]

I think Kafatolu should of been picked ahead of Taramai, i guess his versatility paid dividends for him? that would only mean that crusaders are keeping prinsep deep. Id rather BNT over the 3, oh well our loss highlanders gain.

[mikey07]

@BerhamporeNinja have the Highlanders signed BTN?

[BerhamporeNinja]

@mikey07 yeah heard a little whisper

[mikey07]

@BerhamporeNinja If that’s this case Plumtrees stupid BTN reminds of Akira Ioane a lot just with a better workload we need players like that not so so players like Prinseep who have no flair

[canefan]

@mikey07 He's quite the specimen isn't he? Is it 100% he isn't going to be a Cane in 2020? It would kill me to see him as a Frizell style bolter if we didn't sign him and he went to the Landers

[Higgins]

The already confirmed signing of Murphy Taramai is probably a hint that TBN will not be a Hurricane in 2020

The eye test suggests that TBN is just the kind of meast you need. That is a a shame

[mikey07]

Plumtree seems to like the no frills, doesn’t shine sort of player which is not what we need at the Canes

[Canes4life]

@Higgins it really depends whether or not Flanders is on their books. Otherwise there is still room.

Complete botch up by the Canes once again if they don’t sign him.

[mikey07]

I apologise for this comment which will get me roasted but HB supporters what does Flanders offer I haven’t seen him play so was wondering.

Think Reed Prinslip - but then add talent on top of that.

[Canes4life]

Well it looks like Taramai has just broken something so his year at the Canes might have finished before it has even begun.
