Hurricanes 2022

@nostrildamus Dale Macleod pulled moorby out of Waikato club rugby as a 19 year old , saw his talent and pulled him into the Stags ..once again underlines McMacleods ability to spot talent

Overall I’m pretty happy with the squad, the success of this side will highly depend on keeping our key players fit.
Only real disappointing signing is James O’Reilly, would have liked to see Jacob Devery get a crack, he was very effective for the Magpies this year.
It sounds like Cam Roigard’s injury isn’t as bad as first thought as he isn’t on the long term injury list.
My favourite signing is TK Howden, he really looks the goods.

If Holland doesn't play PUJ I will not be happy

More insight into the squad: IWL and Franks to miss the entire 2022 season, Cam Roigard to come back during the back half of the season. I really hope Franks is around the camp in some capacity, he would be a great mentor for the likes of Lomax and Mafileo.

@canes4life Proctor isn't as bad as you continually make out.
Warning: Obligatory rant about the Canes not picking Magpies.
For the Magpies count, with IWL injured for the season it is two. The best performing NPC squad in the franchise, with the best performing school teams can get two players in the Canes. Two.
I have three Canes fans here in Oz from the Bay, two have jumped off this season (finally I'd say) while the sole remainer was a Wellington fan in the 80s/90s when HB languished in second division.
This franchise can eat a dick.

@nepia Welcome aboard (my other team) -

That's where the two (non PI) Bay mates I mentioned are going.

@nepia I even tried to buy a supporters Cap, but they sold out already.

Hmm, I wonder if they just did a small run initially to gauge interest and then they'll roll out a bigger run?

Lol if you jump ship you were never a real fan tbh. The Canes have been around long enough to have their own identity not tied to provinces.
Proctor was bad - he's finally starting to come good so I left him off that team sheet.
I left O'Reilly off as as inept as our selections often are, they will pick Coels & Aumua there at least.

I’m not saying he’s bad but him continually being picked is the reason PUJ wasn’t an All Black this year and that’s what frustrates me. PUJ is better and it’s so damn obvious.

The positive of there being barely any Magpie players in this squad is that the thread won’t be littered with comments demanding their selection week in week out.
Go and support another team, we don’t care. The Hurricanes are bigger than the Magpies and most of the signings suggest it doesn’t really matter what province you play for these days.

@canes4life Prepare yourself for yet another season of mediocracy if you are happy with the squad assembled by the Hurricanes selectors.
