Hurricanes 2021

[Yeetyaah]

Waikato's Xavier Roe is understood to have been nabbed by the Chiefs

Thanks christ the Chiefs have some common sense. Surprised the article hasn't mentioned Ratima, he's been pretty bloody good. Chances are the Canes will pick up Hauiti-Parapapara though.

@Yeetyaah I used to rate him but it feels like Marshall has been tutoring him his pace and speed to the ruck is slow, I would rather they nab Collins.

[Dice]

@mikey07 It also seems like Ruru is still with the Blues.

Looks like Roe is off the market. Also i didn’t realise Lowe and Stones didn’t have contracts for next year.

Booth could be a big loss. Or a opportunity for someone to step up

Whats Jonathan Taumateine been playing like this year? The limited game time he got with the Canes he looked promising enough

I still have hopes for Connor Collins. Looked brilliant as a replacement v NH but not so great starting v CM. But gets another start this week so will watch him closely. Hes 22 now so he will show this WE if hes got the good or not

[mikey07]

@Winger from my limited observation he’s been average nothing that’s not normally expected.

I'd rather see Rayasi in the Canes 11 jersey than the broken down bus.

@Canes4life As would I, it all depends whether he wants a shot at a gold medal or not

24. Maybe its time for him to focus on super rugby if he wants to make it in the 15 man game.

[mikey07]

@Winger I can see him trining for gold next year then settling into 15s the year after.

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 On the other hand choosing the Olympics might be too much of a risk because of Covid. He won’t want to waste another year away from the 15 man game especially now he’s hitting his straps. Hope he chooses the Canes, we need an explosive winger to replace B Lam.

[mikey07]

@Canes4life What’s wrong with Savea 😂

[Stargazer]

There are - as yet unconfirmed - rumours that the Canes have signed Bay of Plenty halfback Luke Campbell.

Does anyone know more about this?

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Played a couple of seasons for OBU around five or six years back so it could be another Wellington self centered pick

[ARHS]

On form in NPC it would make sense. He was pretty sharp and got the BOP backline firing after early tentativeness

[mikey07]

@Stargazer I wouldn’t mind Connor Collins tbh.

He was in Canterbury for a while. Fiery little bugger never quite broke into the Crusaders/Canterbury system.

[mikey07]

@Chris That’s why he’d be a perfect fit rev our forward pack up

[Cpt Kumera]

@mikey07 luke having a good run injury free showing his potential and deserves to get it

[mikey07]

@Cpt-Kumera In his defence I haven’t seen him play so cant really pass judgement.

Agree. But he lost his position as a Wellington starter so unlikely

Although the Canes need two additional HB. One only for a year to replace Perenara. One an injury replacement. So both might only be for 12 months
