No sign of James O’Reilly. Spotted Cooper Flanders, Jordie Vijoen and Siale Lauaki.
-
@Canes4life Yeah, I think the ginga I saw was James Blackwell, not O'Reilly. Glad Coops is there.
-
Anyone know who the bloke is behind Sione Halalilo on the post above?

Shame about O'Reilly. Team needs a good 4th Hooker. Good to see Sheck there

Here’s a full shot of the pre Christmas group.

@Canes4life the hoodie culture is back. I’s all gone downhill since Hammett left….

Isn't your coach, the Messiah of the Fern, the soon to be coach of England
, in a hoodie in every second photo?Much as I hate the Hurricanes, spit, I'm on team Hoodie if the alternative team is the Hammettuer.
Also Inoke Afeaki is Canes #1, quite handy having an A as the first letter of your surname.

I saw him handing out fliers recently. I think he’s running ( or ran ) for council ? Still looks fighting fit !
Also, hoodies are awesome. I have loads of them.

The location will make it a bit harder for fans to go there and watch the guys train.
Fans from Wellington City that is. It's almost an hour closer to the tens of thousands of fans from Hawkes.

Jordi has been an academy member; the talented half back has recently returned from a successful tour in South Africa with NZ U19s and is currently on a National Development Contract (only 20 given in the country) with The Hurricanes – what amazing achievements!
Looks like Jordi could be the next cab off the rank. This is off a Turbos post.
Posted by the Hawke's Bay RU:
Congratulations to our academy member Cooper Flanders on his NDC (National Development Contract - only 20 given in the country) with the Hurricanes! Coop joins Harry Godfrey and Hunter Morrison as Hawkes Bay players on NDC’s
All the best Coop, Harry and Hunter!
Cooper Flanders - loosie
Harry Godfrey - first five eighth/fullback
Hunter Morrison - lockAll three were in the NZ U19s. Morrison, like Godfrey, is a Whanganui Collegiate old boy. He's moved from Manawatū to Hawke's Bay.

Also training with the Canes: Manawatū hooker Leif Keil-Schwencke
Interesting, did this guy even play NPC?
-
@Canes4life Yup, Manawatu.

@Canes4life Yup, Manawatu.
I find it quite interesting that someone like Raymond Tuputupu has all of sudden vanished after performing strongly for the Hurricanes under 20s and NZ Under 20s this year, aswell as being rushed into the Hurricanes main side for one of their games earlier this season.
Does anyone know if he is injured, because he didn't appear for the Turbos either? I thought he would be next in line infront of both Leif Keil-Schwencke and Josh Southall for a Hurricanes dev spot, as they've only both played limited minutes.
-
@Canes4life Keil-Schwenke played in 6 games for Manawatū, mostly off the bench as Maile was usually their starting hooker.
No, idea what happened to Raymond Tuputupu since he played for the NZU20s in July. I expected him in the Turbos squad, too, ahead of LK-S. In the media release of the NZ U19 team naming it said that he was unavailable. All the others on that unavailable list were playing NPC or 7s. He wasn't.

That's very interesting. Without speculating too much maybe he picked up a serious injury.
Hopefully we see him back on the park soon.

Anyone know much about Solomone Naiduki? I see he was in the P Eels setup over on Aus?
Looks like an athlete.
