Anyone heard any rumours of signings or player movements?
A reminder of those players already confirmed are:
T Lomax
X Numia
S Lauaki
A Aumua
I Walker-Leawere
D Flanders
D Kirifi
P Lakai
B Shields
T Perenara
C Roigard
A Morgan
B Cameron
H Godfrey
B Sullivan
B Proctor
R Higgins
J Barrett
J Moorby
R Love -
Saw in another thread Jacomb has signed for a Chiefs WTC spot.
I wonder how loose those are - like if the Canes said we'll give you a full spot can he move?
Assuming he wants too of course, but as a Naki lad I am sure the Canes, and playing with Roigard and Jordie beside you must have some appeal.

Squads will be locked in. When Jacomb made those comments last week, everything will be confirmed.

@foobaNZ if I was Laidlaw I would sign another first five (Jacomb or McClutchie) on a fulltime contract with an eye to moving Morgan on when his contract expires at the end of 2024. It won't matter if we carry 4 tens because Godfrey can also play fullback.
This will mean that by 2025 our first fives will be Cameron, Godfrey and one of McClutchie or Jacomb which is very solid.

Surely sangster be there again?
-
I think the following will re-sign. Other than that I think it's anyone's guess.
- P Rakete-Stones
- J Sangster
- D Bird
- T Howden
- C Delany
- B Iose
- P Umaga-Jensen
- K Naholo
- D Sinkinson
Players that I hope we release:
- S Rayasi (has all the potential but unfortunately has failed to deliver for too long now)
- P Tosi
- T Laubscher (this guy is always injured)
- R Prinsep
Players that I hope we sign:
- L McClutchie - he's been outstanding in the NPC and deserves a crack with the Canes
- H Murray - he's been a try scoring machine for the Taniwha this year, would be nice to have a slick finisher on the wing.
- J Beehre - a strong campaign with Auckland, would be good to pick up a young talented lock with size for once

@Chris of course he has. 😑

If Rayasi was available, I would have thought MP would have signed them, and as it would seem a bit of a major cue, you'd think it would have been announced?

@Chris haha has he actually? You're pretty onto it when it comes to signings.

I believe he has signed @Steven-Harris posted it in the Crusaders thread a week ago and I heard he has.

@Canes4life
Have you heard if T Mafileo did sign with Blues or was that a Roigard, Ennor type rumour as well. -
@Chris yeah a rumour from old mate. I think he's sticking with the Canes.
I'm hoping the Canes starting front row in 2024 is Mafileo, Aumua and Lomax. Would be pretty handy.
