@higgins JGB had his opportunity, don’t think he will be re-signed tbh.

Someone like J Ioane will be a good pickup.

[Higgins]

@canes4life Under this current regime nothing would surprise me so it would not be a surprise to see him given a five year extension. Just joking on that, but do not be surprised if he is still at the Hurricanes next season.

[Stargazer]

@higgins Yep, unless JGB leaves on his own accord (accepting a good offer from an overseas club, for example), I can totally see the Canes re-sign him!

[Nepia]

Wasn't JGB the top 10 at the Canes this year until he got injured?

[Canes4life]

@nepia he was but they were all average to start with. Slim pickings until they decided to give Love a crack which you could argue was a little early as he's still developing.

If it’s not JGB that gets resigned it will be Cameron.

That grinds me if true how can we not sign Thompson as stated before can definitely see them signing O’Reilly

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 Someone should have/get some dirt on O'R. Surely that one time he snorted the white stuff wasn't his first time; maybe not his last, either.

[Yeetyaah]

@stargazer it was MDMA eh? It's so common now anyway.

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah Could be. Anyway, he has been suspended for using it in 2019 and he has been suspended for referee abuse in August 2020. He's a liability on and off the field.

Unfortunately being from Wellington’s darling club HOBM he gets away with whatever he wants.

Won’t stop Holland signing him though

I take umbrance at that! If you are attached to a City club you know the WRFU darlings are the combined Wellington College Old Boys-Victoria University outfit, followed closely by Petone if you are looking for a Hutt Valley contender.

[mikey07]

@higgins I’d argue they both get preferable treatment while the rest of the us get crap treatment

[Higgins]

@mikey07 But you did get the great Jonah as an allocated player when he was here all those years ago. Sadly when you have someone like him on your books they never get to play because of other rugby commitments. In your case he did manage one game for the 'Nui but that was an away game at Porirua Park so it was Norths that really benefited in terms of crowd and bar sales!.

[Stargazer]

If yesterday's media article reflect's Otere Black's version of events properly, I trust that one more than Avan Lee's.

Edited to add that the "advanced" discussions are most likely with Brett Cameron.

[Canes4life]

@stargazer what could also influence the signing (if it eventuates) is that J Barrett and Cameron are very close mates outside of rugby. If signing Cameron was one of the reasons for Jordie re-signing at the Canes then I'm all for it.

[SouthernMann]

It won't be Brett Cameron. He's signed to go to Japan

Bugger, that would have been pretty funny.
