@Hooroo if true, there goes our chances. Fletcher Smith is our only hope.

At least you would have heaps of money in the bank from Selling Barrett to Auckland

the most Arsenal thing ever

Yeah, oh Wait! It doesn't work like that!

[mikey07]

Did anybody else listen to Avan Lee on radio sport today he reckoned Barrett’s replacement was already at signing terms and that there is going to be some exciting signings “in the short while” I’m really curious as to who thes exciting signings are.

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 Yeah, I'm keen to find out as well. I hope they won't keep us in suspense for much longer. Mind you, they may have another idea of "exciting" than we have.

[Canes4life]

If they think Marty McKenzie is exciting then we could be in for a very disappointing season.

If it isn't a test quality 10 we are fawked. And that doesn't excite me

[Yeetyaah]

@Hooroo Holy shit pleeeease let this be true and take him off our hands.

[Darren]

Canes are really screwed, there really is no option right now for 10. Why not try out JB, no one is standing out so what is there to lose. I'd try him before using JGB.

[Stargazer]

@Darren I'd give Fletcher Smith a chance, first, before starting a JB experiment.

[mikey07]

@Darren I actually used to think he was good without being great but watching him against Canterbury, Counties and BOP he looks like he couldn’t steer a roller coaster. The Lions looked very rudderless so I’m very inclined to give the 10 jersey to Fletcher Smith and give him consistent games in it.

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 his pass is just so laboured aswell which consistently puts those outside him under pressure.

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 do you have a on-demand link to this?

[mikey07]

@Canes4life to what the interview?

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 allgood, found it this morning.

[mikey07]

@Canes4life sweet hear the tone of his voice about the exciting signings?

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 sounds like the deal is done re the 1st five. I'm thinking it's probably Damian McKenzie's brother Marty, though I wish it was Damian.

He seemed excited about the other names being thrown around so will be interested to see who they are.

Blues, Chiefs, Crusaders, Chiefs and now maybe Hurricanes?

He'll almost have the full set of teams.

[Stargazer]

@Duluth He'll finish at the Landers, because that's where home (Gore) is.

2017 NZ under 20 & NZ Maori Prop Pouri Rakete Stones has signed a 2 year deal with the Hurricanes which he penned last Friday ..
Rakete Stones switched from Tighthead to loosehead and was selected for the NZ Maori in the 2nd test against against Fiji this year..
Rakete Stones is a former NZ Junior powerlifting champion..
He shocked many in the NZ Maori squad when training at the Blues facility in Auckland earlier this year when he squatted 300Kg, Ofa Tu’ungafasi has the record at the Blues of 265Kg..
Rakete Stones is 118Kg 1.82
At 22 ,has a massive future in front of him..

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris I'm really happy about that news!! Well-deserved! I wonder whether the Canes are going to announce it, or whether they'll wait until the full squad naming end October.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer thought I would cut their lunch..happy for the Magpies as well..!
