@stargazer Probs a fair point re joining the Blues. You get the drift though, he is down the pecking order at the Canes and would probably be better off looking elsewhere. I've met Jonah and he seems like a good kid - I wish him all the best if he does end up moving franchise.

Canes4life is back (under a new name). Only reason I am not using that account is I don't have access because of email issues a while back - so if someone can help reset my password for that account that would be super.

I'm asking Father Christmas for a tight 5 for the Canes this Christmas. I think I might once again be disappointed in my presents.
-
@wreck-diver The truth hurts. You could probably refine that to two props and two locks.
-
@canes4life who are our locks? the only one i can think of for next year is 5 Sam Lousi
-
@wreck-diver Sam Lousi, Isaia Walker-Leawere, Liam Mitchell and a pending 2.08m Safa lock weighing in at 140kg. Can't wait.

Only if the guy can run at that weight. He will need a mobility cart to kept up.
-
Yeah I can't see Plumtree finding someone that size anyway, unless he locks in Will Skelton.
Isaia Walker-Leawere looks promising but still a tad green. Also we have the option of re-signing the injury prone Geoff Cridge who will make his return for the Bay soon.
-
@canes4life Fuck Will Skelton we are not that desperate. He's the biggest suitcase ever. The Aussie need to fix their line out they should bring him back he's such a good jumper. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:
-
@canes4life Liam Mitchell?
-
@wreck-diver We need to find Rettalick's doppelganger.
-
@stargazer Read earlier in the year that the Canes have signed Mitchell as a lock/6. Played for the Canes development this year and looked like a young Sam Whitelock. Has the height and skillset of a promising lock, but needs to put on the beef big time.
-
@canes4life I've only seen him named as a member of the Canes WTG, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he has a contract.
-

It says he has signed here but offers no further explanation. Looks like a promising player but another one of those "will need to see how he goes at the next level" type prospects.
-
According to this, Magpies' Devan Flanders has a three-year contract with the Hurricanes
-
@number-10 Fantastic news. I'd say he will have that position locked down in three years. Let's hope he doesn't sustain any serious injuries.
