Hurricanes 2025

My Two cents (for what it’s worth)
Think Brasch and Poplali’i from Counties would be good pick ups same with Banks from Harbour.
TJ Clarke deserves a contract and would’ve said the same with Preston had the Canes not shit the bed and let him go.

@mikey07 thought Brash would be a good pick up, but as it stands no side has shown interest, that's from the coach.

[Bovidae]

Often it comes down to timing and which positions need filling. Accepting a WTG spot is a foot in the door, but doesn't pay much.

[mikedogz]

I think Brash would be a good sevens player. Not a huge guy, fit and fast.

Preston would be third at the Hurricanes behind Roigard and Vijoen. Maybe Preston thinks he has a better shot at getting infront of Drummond.

Preston is going outside the Canes? Where he's going?

Crusaders

Adam Lennox would be a good pickup if another team hasn't grabbed him already.

[foobaNZ]

@Canes4life damn that's a good pick up for them. We'd have been very well served with Roigard, Viljeon and Preston. Guess we can't be too greedy.

As Bovidae mentioned above I’d be happy with Adam Lennox. I’m sure we’ll get a solid third halfback from somewhere.

[BerhamporeNinja]

probably already been said on here but i think Harkin is our guy moving foward

[foobaNZ]

@BerhamporeNinja agreed - but he's not confirmed as signed though is he?

[Canes4life]

Great signing for the Hurricanes, Kade Banks locked up for 2025.

He's been a star of the NPC this year, he will slot onto the right wing nicely.

[Daffy Jaffy]

@Canes4life An excellent like for like replacement for Moorby. I suspected he was off somewhere as he did not appear on a list of resignings that were posted on Blues Facebook a while back.

[brodean]

He's a good player.

Yeah he definitely looks to have a bright future. Knows his way to the try line and has twinkle toes to boot.

I’ve been pretty happy with all the signings Laidlaw has made so far, keep them coming.

[Daffy Jaffy]

@Canes4life Also equally comfy at Fullback and can even kick goals I think. I was hoping he would stay with the Blues as he offers something different from the 'power athlete' backs that we tend to produce. Now we wonder who replaces him (maybe Tito- Harris or start Taele on the wing to learn the level before moving him infield when Heem retires. Unless they see Spencer as an outside back?). We will soon see.

[foobaNZ]

Really keen to see which 10(s) we've locked up.

We need two tens. Cameron because he's injured, and someone to replace Morgan.

[foobaNZ]

Harkin (big future imo) and someone like Cruden would be my dream scenario.
