    Seems the Canes are hogging too many good midfielders, that is a lot of talent there that could be sitting on the bench or not at all.

    Ben Grant, an Aussie who did not set the world on fire during the NPC, selected but Dom Bird left outside the squad, that's weird.

    @cgrant agreed that is strange. Bird is over 2m tall and probably super level quality. 32 so not very old but more on the experienced end. They should learn from the Boks who do not dispose of old players but rather incorporate them to help build the culture and mentor younger players.

    @cgrant selecting an Aussie over a Kiwi aswell is questionable in my book. Ben Grant has the height but he seems to be too skinny for Super. He’ll need to put on a few kegs.

    @Stargazer The annoying thing about this squad is the amount of locks we've signed. We could have signed one less lock and signed up McClutchie instead. Just seems so odd.

    I wonder who's in the wider squad? Maybe he's in there potentially with a promise that he will have a full contract in 2025.

    Pretty meh about whether we got McClutchie (just me,I think he ok but....), an guess they risking Cameron, Morgan staying fit, with Love and Godfrey maybe getting a run if needed

    Looks like a few of the Canes boys have started pre season early. This off TJ Perenara's Insta.

    So the Canes will again play a game in that hellhole in Palmerston North in 2024. Meaning that we will at best get a preseason game, unless another franchises gives us one of their home games (MP?). 😠

    @Stargazer they've already announced the pre season games. We are playing the Highlanders in Queenstown and Moana Pasifika at the training base in Upper Hutt.

    Pre season games are dead to me since they dropped Mangatainoka, fuck that rocked

    @Machpants I thought that place burnt down? Or am I confusing it with another venue?

    The stands did but who cares, it is about the location, just import some temp ones 🙂 That happened after they stopped it there tho

    but who cares,

    A lot of locals care. That grandstand had a huge historical meaning to them. And it's not up to the Hurricanes to decide what happens to that ground as they don't own it. That's up to the people who manage the Mangatainoka Domain.

    We can’t have you non important provinces getting more then 1 game out of Wellington…Napier and Palmy being in yearly rotation seems utterly stupid why can’t they take two games to the provinces would more then likely make a bigger profit then a mediocre turn out in Wellington.
