Hurricanes 2024
-
@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. 😑

Haha we will see on 9th Nov

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.

Yeah that is a decent starting front 3.

Hurricanes have just announced the signings of the following players:
- Tevita Mafileo - three year extension
- TK Howden - two year extension
- James Tucker - one year only
- Josh Taula - two year contract
- Daniel Sinkinson - two year extension
- Ben Grant - one year only. Who the fook is that guy? He looks to be a 2.05m lock who's formerly played for the Reds. 118kg aswell.
I'm really not sure about some of these signings. I think I would prefer signing Justin Sangster and Dominic Bird tbh. I hope we haven't failed to pick up Delany aswell.
-
@Canes4life he is an Aussie lock, over 2m no less!
IIRC he was being looked at up here, so he is keen to get some experience in NZ I guess.
-
@taniwharugby why are we signing Australians over Kiwis? Seems very odd. I see he recently played in USA's Major League Rugby which makes me question his ability aswell. He's also played for about 1000 teams in such a short period which can't be good either.
Grrrr, why can't we sign some good locks. Tucker seems a bit average aswell. Definitely not guys I would be investing in. Dumb signings IMO.
