@stargazer he’s not playing for the Blues atm so has every right to back the Canes again.
I think he will always barrack for the Canes when he can. He only left coz his wife is from AKL
-
I haven't seen this before. All the coaching staff, key employees and the Board.

@winger I hate to say it, but that info has been on the Hurricanes website for years.
But I've just found it this year. It use to be part of the team section but not now. (part of about us which makes sense but still)

Badly archived, but it was already at this spot in 2018.
Its not something I look at much. But tried to find it some months back (quickly) and it wasn't there and just moved on. Maybe the coaches were always part of this section but fairly sure at one point it wasn't. But is this a big issue. I thought it was interesting to see the full team behind the Canes that's all. Maybe no-one else will though
-
@winger I assume it's not something anyone looks at frequently. I remember looking at it about 15 months ago, when a friend of mine applied for a job at the Canes and didn't even get as much as an acknowledgement that they had received the application. Very rude. I heard similar bad experiences from others. I think they advertised the vacancy pro forma and had already someone lined up for the job.
-
Jesus. Poor form for sure. And even if they have someone lined up at least reply etc
-
@winger They are probably too busy scouting on the sidelines of Scots College Third XV, Wellington College Under 15 weight Restricted B Team and Wellington High School Gender Not Specific team games to unearth their next superstar to contract until pension age.
-
@Stargazer looks who’s back in that first photo:
-
@canes4life Great to see that Thompson is training (again), but I'd rather see any sign that a fully contracted player like Toala is getting game time soon.
And injury updates, particularly about Gareth Evans.
-
@stargazer doesn’t look likely from their Insta story. Looks like Proctor is in the 13 jersey again. Doesn’t look like too many changes from the team that won last week, hopefully Blackwell stays left right out.
-
@canes4life Maybe Toala and Visinia get a run in the last 10 minutes of the season.
Or sooner if the Canes are completely out of contention for a finals spot.
Both are off contract at the end of the season. I wonder whether Toala will re-sign or hopes to move (which will be difficult, with almost all squad spots being filled before the NPC starts) or will be looking for a contract overseas with his good mate McC.
-
Proctor was probably the best 13 on show last week.
-
@stargazer I’m not fussed on Visinia, he left NZ so if he doesn’t get an opportunity it’s not a big deal. Hopefully Toala does though.

There might be some openings at The Highlanders with a few wayward players down there.
-
@kiwi_expat yeah but PUJ deserves a crack.
-
@kiwi_expat The bar (at 13) wasn't set very high, last weekend.
-
I agree, but Proctor certainly isn't a bad player. The Hurricanes were 26 points ahead against Chiefs with Proctor at 13, after Proctor went off it turned to custard, so let's not act like PUJ starting is the be-all & end-all.
