Hurricanes 2020

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

@Canes4life said in Hurricanes 2020:
@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.
Botch up or deliberate, Plum seems to be of the Bitchell and Hammettuer mould of pretending you don't need players with flair to win matches.

Loose forward signings so far:
- Savea
- Evans
- Taramai
- Fifita
- Prinsep
- Kirifi
Probably have one or two spots available, therefore there is still room for either Ben-Nicholas and Flanders.

Someone get on the hotline and tell Plumtree not to fuck this one up, pick BNT!!!

@stargazer @canefan Heiden Bedwell-Curtis rejoined the Canes last season. Normally contracts are for a two year duration so we must await the ruling from Stargazer as to whether he still remains on the Canes payroll. Presumably Taramai must have replaced either him or Sam Henwood, there might simply not be room on the roster to accommodate TBN.

Flanders already holds a Hurricanes contract for a three year duration according to this article which appears to be from sometime in 2018

Heiden Bedwell-Curtis' contract duration was never published, so we don't know whether the Canes only signed him for one year (2019), of for more. It's very well possible that he'll return to the Canes in 2020.
Flanders was signed by the Canes in 2018 for three seasons, but the details - how many years on a development contract, how many on a full contract - has never been officially confirmed by the Canes. I understand it was one year development contract (2019) and two years full contract (2020-2021), but we can only be sure if he appears on the Canes squad list for 2020.
If both Bedwell-Curtis and Flanders are in the 2020 Hurricanes squad, and they opt for the same number of loosies as the 2019 season, there won't be any room for Teariki Ben-Nicholas.
