I wonder if plum will come back to the Canes?
He may not have been a good ABs coach, but he was OK for hurricanes. And anybody is better than what's there at the moment

I'd take him over Holland. In a heartbeat

I hope not. The decline started when Boyd left.
Besides, they won't demote Holland. Don't think for a minute that Plumtree will join the Canes as Holland's assistant. -

Come to think of it, didn't I read on here that Chris Boyd is back in NZ? Bring him back with Plumtree, and Holland can drop down another peg
Boyd back on board with Plumtree and Holland up to the ABs as assistant....

Read somewhere that he is back in France now. The article said his family found it hard to settle in Paris so eh returned in the off season. Also his form wasn't great
Would be good but surprised if he returns. 29 now and the money overseas would be much better

Media release:
I don't think Morgan or Love are ready yet. So hope he steps up. And has a VG clearing punt

@Winger Definitely an upgrade from JGB. Cameron can run, too!
Agree about Morgan and Love, although I think Morgan has already shown more potential at 10 than Love.
I feel like Morgan will be better than Cameron long term but at the raw age of 20 he's not ready to take on the role week in, week out. I think Cameron will start in the big games for us in 2023/2024, whereas Morgan (who is already better than someone like JGB) will get occasional start to ensure he progresses his development.
I think you'll find that Love will probably move away from that position and focus purely on 15, where I think he's more effective with his speed. (as seen against Ireland).
-
@Canes4life Yep, 15 seems to suit Love more. That's why I have my doubts about Godfrey signing with the Canes. He'd never get game time. Not at his preferred 10 position, and not at 15. Unless, as I supsect, he's better than some of the already contracted players. Which wouldn't surprise me at all.
-
@Stargazer yeah, we have quite a few good young 10/15s coming through. If you add in Moorby playing fullback and Jordie switching between 12/15 it’s certainly not a problem area going forward.
Can Godfrey play 14 maybe?
-
@Canes4life He's a great prospect at 10; also a great prospect at 15. Why on earth would you move him to another spot, just to fit him in? He may just be better off somewhere else.
-
@Stargazer because he has the skillset. I.e Cory Jane was a fullback but 14 ended up being his best position. If he can ply multiple positions then he’s definitely a player the Canes won’t want to let slip through their grasp.
At the end of the day 15 isn't too dissimilar to the right wing in the modern game.
-
@Canes4life He has - for someone so young - already great game management skills. Those skills would be wasted on the wing. I've nothing against moving Love to the wing though.
-
@Canes4life any first five being played on the wing would remind me of Todd Blackadder playing Colin Slade on the wing at the crusaders🙂😂
-
@FakatavaAllBlack Godfrey is more of a fullback than a first five isn’t he? If he’s trying to crack the Canes as a first five I think he’s better to look elsewhere. Where that is I’m not sure because he’ll be behind talented players wherever he goes.
