Hurricanes 2023

@Canes4life Remember PUJ was only brought into the ABs squad in 2020 because Ennor was injured.

@Nepia I will come to the defence of @Canes4life here. He has stopped fluffing Alex Fidow (and to a leser extent Xavier Numia) for about 18 months now. Whether that is because he no longer falls into the young Wellington players category or he has finally accepted and agreed with me that Mr. Fidow will never master the arts for propping to be effective at any level over Premier Reserve club level (Ories don't always start him at prop).

Talk about being damned with faint praise.
-
Odd source, but here is the confirmation that Moorby will be a Hurricane for the next two years.
-
-
@Stargazer solid signing to start the thread. Now let's hope there are a couple good tight forward signings to come. #hopeful

@FakatavaAllBlack
Fantastic, can we add Prinsep, J Savea, Blackwell, Kirifi and Holland himself to that list? It will be interesting who gets that third hooker spot.

Prinsep, J Savea, Blackwell and Kirifi are all signed until the end of the 2023 season. In exceptional circumstances, a player can be released early, especially if he's moving to another NZ franchise, but the most likely scenario is that most of them will still be in the squad in 2023.

`But a massive upvote for continued mediocracy.
-
@Higgins hopefully we can say goodbye to that mediocracy at the end of next year. (including Holland)
From loosies to fullback, the Hurricanes look to have plenty of talent. Our weak area is obvious, we need to make some big signings in the tight five to take us to that next level.
-
@Canes4life What about the people that appointed Mr. Holland in the first place and then gave him an extension to his contract? Whilst they are still there there is not much chance of change.
-
@Higgins yeah the board have been an issue for a long time. As mentioned already, we need a complete cleanout of the backroom.
From a coaching and player point of view we've made a good start so far getting rid of Dan Cron, James O'Reilly, Jackson Garden-Bachop, and despite his potential Alex Fidow who didn't develop the way he could have with the right coaching.
Josh Moorby recommits to the Hurricanes for 2023 and 2024
