Hurricanes 2021

[Bovidae]

Aso has it easy for someone signed until next year.

[Canes4life]

@stargazer that's true. I've updated the list above.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae I can imagine him wanting an "out" of his contract, just like Tiatia, to go somewhere else if he manages to score a contract elsewhere (in Japan, for example, or Moana Pasifika).

[Higgins]

@stargazer Hurricanes fans are worried too, but that is because of who is on the list not who isn't! Oh except for JGB of course.

[Canes4life]

@bovidae he may ask for a release. He's too talented to be sitting out every week. He would push for a starting role at any other franchise in world rugby, apart from the Crusaders.

@higgins James Blackwell is a god.

Sir Pinetree, Richie and Dan are in that category (and Beaver for a very brief period). J Blackwell would rank about choir boy status.

[Canes4life]

@higgins nah I've got Blackwell higher than McCaw and Carter.

[BerhamporeNinja]

@canes4life how good w that be though! JB rumour wouldnt make sense they have full stocks and also RTS

[nostrildamus]

@canes4life higher? Well I guess Blackwell is a whisker or two taller than McCaw.

[nostrildamus]

@canes4life "James Blackwell is a god."

How dare you put Blackwell in the same category as Them mere mortals...

I can see both JGB and Hickey getting new contracts that’s just how stupid these coaches are

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 how can you not? He’s a pure specimen of a man, the most complete lock you would ever see. 😂

[Stargazer]

@canes4life Did you watch the Breakdown, yesterday?

[Canes4life]

@stargazer haha nah, was he on there? seriously I wish we booted the lad, he’s not good enough.

Hopefully the JB rumoured to go to the Blues is James Blackwell not Jordie Barrett.

[Stargazer]

@canes4life Haha, no, he wasn't on the Breakdown, but IMO Justin Marshall insulted Ash Dixon just by mentioning James Blackwell. Watch this YouTube video from 37:22, and esp. 38:48.

[Canes4life]

@stargazer bloody Justin, stop mentioning the guys name. He’s mud.

@stargazer now that he’s signed make sure you actually start him Holland.

That article also confirms that Bird will be a replacement for Le’aupepe.
