@higgins I’m sure HOBM or Petone will come for him like they do with all of the talent over here 😉

[Higgins]

@mikey07 Thrown in the Umaga-Jensen's and you would certainly have a real handful for opposition teams.

[Nepia]

I'm sure there's a 14 year old 10 starring for one of the powerhouse Wellington schools U15s teams that the Canes are lining up for a 10 year contract.

@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.

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

You fucking what! You mean Petone and MSP right?

[mikey07]

@bones Nah mate not at all

[Bones]

@mikey07 pretty weird that a supposed darling club would constantly have it's players ignored for rep duty...what brings you to this conclusion?

[mikey07]

@bones In Pressies grade there ALWAYS at home hardly ever get away games, in junior grades exactly the same thing we had to drive to Newlands to play a grading game same as the other teams in the grade HOBM got to have it at Petone Rec funny that

[Bones]

@mikey07 well Hutt/Petone rec are the two second best grounds in Welly.

[mikey07]

@bones do your saying because they have the best ground they shouldn’t have to travel?

[Bones]

@mikey07 probably more that I have no idea how the darling club of Welly rugby gets ignored by Welly rugby.

Confirmed, it isn’t Brett Cameron:

[Darren]

It's crazy that we have really no 1st5 and then just let all the talented ones slip off overseas.

[Canes4life]

@darren I guess our last hope is that it's Josh Ioane, otherwise I'm afraid it will most likely be JGB again.

[SouthernMann]

Keep your grubby mitts off him.

Why don't you just keen developing Rueben Love.

I'd say if he goes anywhere it will be to Moana Pasifika.

[Canes4life]

@southernmann The Canes have lost four players to the Blues alone in the last few years so I'm happy for the Canes to snap up anyone from anywhere.

The Highlanders obviously aren't willing to play him at 10 so if there is an opportunity at the Canes why wouldn't he take it?

Ruben Love could be the perfect bench option covering 10/15 until he develops further.

[SouthernMann]

We do play him at 10. Just not every game.

Just like the Hurricanes play Umaga-Jensen at 13, just not every game. Just like how you play Aumua at hooker, just not starting every game.

I guess because they don't start they should go elsewhere too?

[Canes4life]

@southernmann it's relative to the person I guess, if PUJ decided to move elsewhere I wouldn't blame him, I would blame Holland for not selecting him on a regular and ultimately stunting his development. If Ioane decides to move to the Canes because he feels he has more opportunity to nail down regular minutes, then so be it. On the other hand if Ioane is happy to slot in anywhere and remain at the Highlanders then that's fair enough to.

[mikey07]

@southernmann But if the player wants to play in his favoured position but continually plays elsewhere how could you blame him for moving somewhere else where he could get regular game in his desired position.

[Canes4life]

According to James Marshall's 'What a Lad' podcast, Liam Mitchell won't be at the Hurricanes next year.

[Canes4life]

I'm not sure who's telling the truth on JB's stats - Wellington or the Canes.
