Anyone know much about Benet Kumeroa?. I understand he's another player who's been training with the Canes.

This highlights where we're at when you exclude all the players who have signed to play in MLR. Kumeroa wasn't always in the BOP 23. The commentators always talked up his strength as he has a weightlifting background.

@Canes4life You can work out the NDC players from those images. Wallace and Coles were reported. Add in Allen, Bason and Newland.
There's also Tuputupu, Viljoen and Ropeti.

Love was great for Wellington in 2022. Disappointing in 2023.

@Winger how can you call someone disappointing when he missed the whole season? He had a quiet NPC compared to 2022 but he wasnt exactly going to set the house on fire after being on the sidelines for such a long stint.
Hopefully this year he can kick on. He’s probably worked the hardest out of any player this off season, training twice over in Australia when not required by the Canes so is primed for a big year.

@Canes4life He was also impressive when he played for NZ A against the Japanese teams.

The Australian lock that the Hurricanes signed out of MLR in America
The Australian 2.05m lock, making him the second tallest player in MLR history, has signed with the Hurricanes for Super Rugby Pacific.

That depth is starting to look awfully shallow. Signing an Aussie from MLR for SR.

@antipodean depends if they think they can improve him? I guessing they looking for a beanpole to replace Dom Bird?

The Hurricanes pre-season match on Feb 16 at their training facility is free. Not sure how many people can get in but that's a nice move from the Canes.
