I hope the Canes have their eyes on Callum Harkin who today guided OBU to the Jubilee Cup. I’ve watched him a couple of times now and he would be a far better option than JGB.
I remember him breaking his leg in a Canes pre season game back in 2019 playing as a halfback. He looks to have come of age as a ten though. Hopefully he starts for Wellington this year.

So I’ve heard a few people mention that Mo’unga will be at the Canes in 2026. 50/50.

All the best TJ, another Hurricanes great leaves at a good time. Top Super Rigby try scorer and a key influence to our title in 2016. He’s doing the right thing IMO and deserves to cash in over in Japan while he’s healthy.

Yea. Leaves a great. Our best 9 when in form? Weepu and Preston (childhood favourite) up there.
His combo in 15 & 16 with Beauden was deadly.
Yeah the TJ and Barrett combo is awesome. Shame we didn’t win a couple more titles with them at the helm.
I think Roigard will end up being our greatest 9 but right now Perenara is the Canes best 9 we’ve had so far, you can probably argue a case for Weepu aswell. Hopefully we can secure or develop a very good 10 that can partner Roigard going forward.

Sounds like Godfrey has a good game in their first Shield challange for 2024
As long as he stays at first and keeps it up for even tougher games ahead

Yeah I watched it, you can find the stream on their FB page. Godfrey was very good with ball in hand but still has a few kinks to iron out.

Anyone heard of any potential signings lately?

@Canes4life Canes socials often post Naholo doing his thing in NPC so probably safe to assume he's locked up for next year.

Yeah I figured the same thing. We need a few more wingers though with Rayasi and Moorby moving on.

@mikey07 unfortunately centre is probably the area that we are well covered in. I'm really liking the look of Kade Banks for North Harbour. I doubt he's going to get much time at the Blues so I would be offering him a contract. Scoring four tries against Waikato the other day showed he's a fantastic finisher and he even displayed foot work reminiscent of Nehe Milner Skudder to score one of those tries. He could be a bit of a star if he's given more opportunity in my view.
