Hurricanes 2017 - Can they go back to back?
-
<p>Now that the Canes have got the monkey off their back there is a very good chance they could go back to back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They will only get stronger with the pending return of Nehe Milner Skudder and Broadhurst coming back into the fray next season.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boyd and Plum only have a few spots left to fill, though most signings haven't been released I'd expect the squad would look something like this next season:</p>

<p>The Canes are my team and I've waited a long long time to see them raise the cup. It feels a bit like RWC11, relief, and I think I'll enjoy the victory rather than think ahead to any sort of dynasty. The pressure is off next season, if we go well so be it but we'll always have 2016 :drinks:</p>

<p>Hardest thing for me was watching my fav team lose to my second team (via uni time spent there). The Highlanders had suffered their fair share of heartache too and I was happy it was them if anyone. I know what you mean Siam, 2012 was a sweeeet year for me :biggrin:</p> -
<p>At least let then get past mad monday before you lock in next years team. </p>

<p>Beauden will be good enough to win it on his own next year wont he? </p>
