Hurricanes 2020

[Higgins]

The already confirmed signing of Murphy Taramai is probably a hint that TBN will not be a Hurricane in 2020

The eye test suggests that TBN is just the kind of meast you need. That is a a shame

[mikey07]

Plumtree seems to like the no frills, doesn’t shine sort of player which is not what we need at the Canes

[Canes4life]

@Higgins it really depends whether or not Flanders is on their books. Otherwise there is still room.

Complete botch up by the Canes once again if they don’t sign him.

[mikey07]

I apologise for this comment which will get me roasted but HB supporters what does Flanders offer I haven’t seen him play so was wondering.

Think Reed Prinslip - but then add talent on top of that.

[Canes4life]

Well it looks like Taramai has just broken something so his year at the Canes might have finished before it has even begun.

Botch up or deliberate, Plum seems to be of the Bitchell and Hammettuer mould of pretending you don't need players with flair to win matches.

@Nepia so not in the mould of say BTN or Ioane more a Read or shields sort of player?

[Darren]

If Ben-Nicholas is not in the Canes next year I'm seriously going to lose my crap.

Yep more of a Read type player, not a blockbuster but still decent with the ball in hand.

[mikey07]

@Nepia Trouble is Evans is that sort of player

[Canes4life]

Loose forward signings so far:

• Savea
• Evans
• Taramai
• Fifita
• Prinsep
• Kirifi

Probably have one or two spots available, therefore there is still room for either Ben-Nicholas and Flanders.

Someone get on the hotline and tell Plumtree not to fuck this one up, pick BNT!!!

[Yeetyaah]

I've seen people call him BTN and BNT. Isn't his name Teariki Ben-Nicholas? Meaning it'd be TBN?

All good Yaahyeet!! If he gets signed I will defo correct his name

@stargazer @canefan Heiden Bedwell-Curtis rejoined the Canes last season. Normally contracts are for a two year duration so we must await the ruling from Stargazer as to whether he still remains on the Canes payroll. Presumably Taramai must have replaced either him or Sam Henwood, there might simply not be room on the roster to accommodate TBN.

Flanders already holds a Hurricanes contract for a three year duration according to this article which appears to be from sometime in 2018
