I assume NMS has much more chance of playing for the Highlanders than the Canes. The Canes have too many good speedsters to claim a spot in the 23. I'm surprised the Canes even made him an offer.

@Stargazer maybe to take up Lowes spot? Was he out for the season or was it only a couple months?

That should also mean Clarke back to the Blues, Nanai-Seturo to the Chiefs and Rayasi to the Canes.
Ah, makes sense. The olympics is cooked, so we'll get them back.
Just checked the squad - we get Niko Jones as well I assume?

@nzzp wasn't Niko Jones rumoured to be going to the Crusaders or was that just a stab in the dark?

I thought that was Ofa T
Genuinely don't know sorry ... but rumours are often very inaccurate (tautologically, until they aren't of course)

Selected Auckland over Canterbury

@Canes4life There was a rumour on here about Jones going there.

wouldn't want to get stuck behind Akira and Hoskins, would ya?

@Canes4life The Canes never provided any info on Lowe's injury or for how long he was out for, but he definitely isn't out for the season. He and Flanders have been training/running together a lot during Level 3 and he looks in good shape.

@nzzp Isn't Jones a openside flanker?
had to go digging!
Jones, a hard running No 8 with a skill set to match, was awarded the MVP for the boy's tournament

@nzzp Even though Niko played no.8 at schoolboy level I don't think he has the size to play there at senior level. I think he'll follow his old man and move to openside.
and then on to 6 as he gets older
no toeing the ball ahead against Argentina

So now Julian Savea is looking for a return to either the Hurricanes, another NZ franchise or at the very least the Warriors apparently.
I hope the Canes don’t go there, he is 4 years past his best and we don’t really need wingers with Salesi Rayasi coming back into the mix.
Maybe his best chance is to play for Wellington in the NPC or at the Highlanders where the 2015 WC winning back three can re-connect.
