Looking at our 2023 squad I'd think these guys have question marks.
Julian Savea - past it.
Blackwell - gone.
Prinsep - not up to standard.The questions...
Rayasi - shouldn't really be on here. But I hope Laidlaw can unleash his potential. Still too up and down at times (part of this is on Holland for dropping him when he's had a stormer. Must be frustrating for Salesi.)
Bird - getting on a bit.
Tosi - not given many chances. Was excited when we snagged him after his BoP form.
Morgan - not sure his ceiling is much higher than it currently is. Gives a hundy though. Not a starter for me.
Booth - I guess as a third choice he's okay? Could be some young half we could snag though.
Sinkinson - perhaps a bit harsh given his age and only his first year at this level. He looked pretty lost when he got chances particularly on D. Hopefully improves next year.
I thought Sinkinson defense was ok vs the Brumbies. But his attack was rubbish. Savea was better. Rayasi is great at his best but inconsistent
Bird I would be happy with 1 more year. Tosi looks a bit ordinary to me
Booth was rubbish. Time too find someone else -
I will be curious to see how young Turbos lock Josh Tuala goes in this years Bunnings NPC 2.03 metres listed at 114kgs , those stats were from last year , came on as replacement for the Turbos in their last game of the year against Northland , was quite impressed with his physicality..
Could be a locking option for the Canes definitely doesn’t lack height -
@foobaNZ aisle 13 isn't named after him anymore, they removed it.
-
I have good word that TJ Perenara will be at the Canes next year but won't be taking part again in any rugby for the remainder of 2023 after having revision surgery on his achillies.

Seems to be confirmed online now @Canes4life
I really hope this doesn't impact whether Roigard stays or not. As big a Canes legend as TJ is Roigard is our starter now if he's around.

I don't think Laidlaw would be silly enough to put all his cards on TJ and lose Roigard. He should be re-signed with no guarantees that he retains his no1 position.
Good to have him back and firing though. But Canes must sign a better no3 than Booth as who knows what TJ will be like now. He might be like Coles that is out more than he's playing

This bye no way confirmed as from today but rumour is hurricanes have signed or on the table a 9 from UK
This is in no way confirmed but I heard it's Hienz. Apparently Roigard is going to the Saders so it's a direct swap.
-
TJ all day as the 2024 starting halfback. How good.

Not true. I've heard from my contact thats its actually a top French HB with the initials AD. He wants a years SR experience after the RWC. But that's all I can say. Roigard is staying too.

@Crazy-Horse must b then

That is disappointing to hear he is staying. Could have been a fantastic addition to a very talented Chiefs outfit. Hopefully he changes his mind.
