Hurricanes 2020

@SammyC so the obvious answer there is the Tahs

But I totally agree. A quality 10 is a huge part of the equation.

Hmmm who would be the 'worst' 1st five to lead a team to a super rugby title??

Derick Hougaard Bulls 10 in 2007 (beat Sharks at the death).

Jordie set to remain loyal apparently.

[Chris]

@Yeetyaah I Really hope he does stay Loyal to the Canes.We don't need him and it would just keep one of the Crusaders backs on the bench or out of the 23

[mikey07]

@Canes4life He’s signed for the Highlanders next year and I think he wants to be a Fullback articles nearly a year old https://www.planetrugby.com/josh-mckay-commits-to-highlanders/

@Yeetyaah I’m glad my good oil wasn’t spot on

How can the Blues spunk all this money on two new star acquisitions? I assume it's because they spend little on the rest of their squad

[taniwharugby]

@canefan maybe the board all took a voluntary paycut due to thier shit performance over the past decade?

Not sure Jordie is a good fit for the Blues.

[Duluth]

@taniwharugby He'd be ok on the bench

I don't know how super teams and their player contracts work, there is no salary cap that I knew about.... I'm not sure the Barretts will enjoy playing for the Blues after playing in the superior Canes setup for so long

@Duluth just an objective assessment. Time will tell

[Stargazer]

Just wait until anything is officially announced before getting worried/happy/etc. The media come with another clickbait story every other day. I don't know why people keep on posting this.

[Duluth]

Sundays stuff website disagrees with Saturdays stuff website

[Canes4life]

I’d laugh if after all this speculation he signs with the Chiefs.

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life Wouldn't complain. Jordie at 12. ALB at 13. ALB is better at 12 but he is a God at both.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah at the end of the day I don’t want Jordie playing for the Canes if he isn’t fully commited to the swirl. If he chooses to leave, so be it, there is plenty of talent ready to take is place.

Yeah BB is a big loss for the Canes. Jordie not so much.

[sparky]

Canes CEO gives quote to Stuff on Saturday that Jordie is only negotiating with the Canes. Then someone anonymous (Jordie's agent) tells Stuff on Sunday he has been offered more money by the Blues.

@sparky John Kirwan starting rumours again?
