@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.

@trooa Haven't seen too much of him so could be an interesting option, i'd rather see the Canes go after someone like Mitchell Dunshea from the Crusaders. He is the type of player that Plumtree loves, a guy that goes to work and leaves the flashy stuff to the backs - a typical Cantabrian workhorse.

@canes4life I have not seen confirmation of the (re-)signing of three players that you list as signed for 2019, or information about their contract duration. Can you tell me where to find this information?
Asafo Aumua
Isaia Walker-Leawere
Sam Henwood
