So if anyone has been watching Second Chance Charlie on Three, the Canes rep James Cockburn will be suiting up for pre season next year as a result of winning the competition. Does anyone know if he can actually pick up a contract from this or is he just there for shits and giggles?
-
@Canes4life I watched a bit of the show. I think it's more to get his foot in the door. The contestants were talking about wanting to get a M10 contract first so idk it might just be for shits and gigs but I'm assuming the canes coaches talk to the provinces so maybe put in a good word if he goes alright.
-
@Yeetyaah would be a pretty cool story if he ends up making it.
-
@Canes4life he's 27 so not too old for a prop.

Shall we talk about the Highlandlers history? Or the ‘canes that you deserted?

@Snowy nah, definitely don't want to discuss winning titles or a team performing better than it's parts might suggest with someone so inexperienced.
When was that last title again lads?

@mikey07 said in Hurricanes 2020:
@Canes4life yeah I saw that in the stuff article, I really hope we resign Evans
Other still to resign
The Hurricanes still have a handful of this year’s squad whose contracts expire at the end of this season, including Vaea Fifita, Ben May, Fraser Armstrong, Gareth Evans, Jackson Garden-Bachop and fellow first five-eighth Fletcher Smith. -

@Canes4life I'm not sure what's going to happen. I hope they move Brendon O'Connor to the bench and Evans to 7. Last year, MMT played most games at 6, with Flanders coming off the bench, but I'm not sure where the Magpies coaches prefer to play them if they both start. With MMT playing at 8 the entire SR and SRA season, there's a good chance he'll end up in the 8 jersey if Evans isn't wearing it.
@Canes4life I would go Flanders at 6, keep MMT at 8 where he's been going well.

Playing club rugby on Sat 8 August:
Wellington
Liam Mitchell (Wainuiomata), so not in Manawatu
Chase Tiatia (Hutt OBM)
Salesi Rayasi (Hutt OBM)
Jonathan Taumateine (MSP)
Julian Savea (Oriental-Rongotai) at 12
Murphy Taramai (Upper Hutt Rams)Hawke's Bay
Danny Toala? (Hastings)I see there's a Kane Thompson playing for Johnsonville (18). Is that the Samoan International, who played for the Chiefs and Highlanders, and several provinces? Or just someone with the same name?
-
@Stargazer His father often turns up at my club's games. If he is on the sideline tomorrow it will be a pretty good indication that the J/ville one is not "the" Kane Thompson. Having said that "the" Kane Thompson did play a few games for J/ville a couple of years ago so it probably is him.

Interesting, maybe without his pace he may be quite effective at 12.
-
@Stargazer Yeah im pretty sure it’s the same, see the coach is none other then Roy Kinikinilau
