Hope not, after watching him closely the other, he's not up to it.

Have heard murmurs of Riley Hohepa to the canes. Not sure how reliable this is but he is a possible option that hasn't had much mentioned yet.
Ew, what the f are the Canes thinking. The Crusaders did that last year and he was horrible for them. No thanks.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy what do we make of that story? Perhaps Perofeta is not Hurricane bound or the coach isn't prepared to say anything yet.

Laidlaw is either a good poker player or the Perofeta rumour isn't true. He does say that the squad will include a new 1st 5.
Interesting reading, according to some it’s a done deal and to others it’s just a rumour.
Maybe he’s just holding his cards close to his chest until the Perofeta deal is finalised.
If we can’t get Perofeta, I hope we sign Callum Harkin.
-
@Canes4life I’m leaning towards Lucas Cashmore but hey like the El Paso ad “why not both”
-
This feels like one of these rumours which could have been inadvertently twisted. Cashmore could have been described as a former NZ rep, or a relation of a former All Black, and along the grapevine it has been changed to '[former] All Black'
Cashmore surely won't be at the Blues, and is better than many of the contracted first fives so would make a great deal of sense.

@Bovidae given that the player himself told my source that hes heading to the Canes next year i’m inclined to to believe thats how its gonna play out.
Perofeta also offers a goalkicking option -

Perofeta also offers a goalkicking optionI certainly hope you’re on the money mate. He’ll be a solid edition to the Canes, the sort of 10 we need outside of Roigard. The Canes are definitely going to have an attacking mindset (like they do most years) but with all of Roigard, Perofeta, Naholo, Higgins, Banks and Love in the backline, the Canes will score plenty of points.

And Perofeta will have a golden opportunity to show everyone what he has. No excuses

Yea I read that too and by the way Laidlaw is speaking it sounds like Perofeta isn't coming.
Of course - he may simply not be allowed to say so yet.
I hope either way we get Harkin. I think he has a big future so we don't want to let him go down south. No room at Blues or Chiefs but if I was the Landers or Crusaders I'd be trying to secure him.
