Hurricanes 2023

@Stargazer You were right about Gus Brown, he’s on the Crusaders story on Instagram this morning.
-
@Canes4life I really wanted to be wrong! That means he'll also be lost to the Hawke's Bay academy and will probably end up playing for Canterbury.
-
Impressive from Rakete-Stones
-
Bugger, hope we don’t have another hooking crisis again like last year. That guy from Manawatu doesn’t fill me with much hope.
-
@Canes4life Yep, and Kianu Kereru-Symes is in the USA.

A lot will rest on the shoulders of Asafo Aumua considering Dane Coles pretty much misses half the season these days.

Apparently he’s been working the house down so I’m not surprised at all by this news.
-
Does anybody have a list of the current Hurricanes Wider Training Group only ..?
-
@Steven-Harris The Canes have, unfortunately, never published such a list. We have just spotted players on social media. If you go back in this thread, you'll find names.
-
@Stargazer cheers

Oh no, I really hope this is a photo from last year and that Jacob Devery hasn't re-injured the same knee.
I dunno but holy shit that legs red

I guess we will find out when the first pre season squad is named over the next couple of days. Doesn't look good.

A Canes legend.

Legend.
Indeed. I'm sure he'll be playing club rugby on the wing for a few years yet.

I'm not sure he'll be apart of the WC squad but it will be cool to have him play for the Wellington Lions for one more campaign to help defend the Shield.

What's the point in a pre-season game when the majority of those players won't even be squad players when the season kicks off properly? Odd.
