A Josh Ioane for Peter Umaga-Jensen trade?
Yeah. Nah
Have you gone full Canes4life and would prefer to stick with teenage Wellingtonians and fat bum Bachop at 10?
It's not like Umaga-Jensen gets a run for the Canes.
I never like JGB. PUJ on the other hand is a very good player and if Holland was a half decent coach he would start him regularly
He's not.
Yeah, kind of obvious. That's why PUJ wasn't the starter last year

So wouldn't you prefer he goes to the Highanders where he'll get gametime and the Canes gain a somewhat competent 10?

Josh Ioane has been decidedly poor for at least two years now at all levels. Is he good enough to play Super Rugby?
Change of scenery might do him good and the Wellingtonians are hardly bursting at the seams with Super level 10s.

I think the move would benefit both players. Two one test All Blacks, who for what ever reasons have been put on the ehh pile at their respective franchises.

@Nepia Aye? When have a said I preferred JGB? Ruben Love is the future so why wouldn’t I back him. Strange comment.
A PUJ for Josh Ioane trade would be stupid. We’ve just lost Laumape, why would you get rid of a player who can slot in at both 12/13.
Your commenting like Josh Ioane has set the house on fire for the last two seasons. The guys isn’t even the number 1 option at the Landers. 😂

Just like how PUJ isn't even a first choice for the Hurricanes. Two back up players going elsewhere to get game time.

If he's not first choice next season I'll happily let some one go....
And the board who hired him
-
@southernmann if Holland doesn’t think he’s first choice in 2022 then I’d happily see him move. Surely he’s got the inside running with Laumape gone though. But then again Holland is still in charge so who the hell knows.
Can we trade Holland instead?

Yes please!

We have a full coaching team.
Very protective of their own players, are Hurricanes fans. But, very grabby for other team's players!

Come on mate, in terms of player grabbing, we aren't even in the top 2!!!

At one point all 4 of the SR tens playing on the weekend were from Canes regions, I think!

If you are including Fletcher Smith, I think he was a Mooloo first? But otherwise I agree, we have exported more players than we have taken away

I don;t remember exactly, I just commented to a mate at the time.

@southernmann lol, we've exported a hell of alot more players than we've brought in over the years. Infact I think I've been quite upfront about the Canes not pushing hard enough in regards to bringing outside players in. We seem to lose alot of good players without getting too much in return.
In the case of PUJ, we aren't being protective, it just wouldn't make too much sense to get rid of an All Black centre when we've just lost one to France. On the other hand if he decides tomorrow that he wants to be a Highlander and form a partnership with his brother, I certainly wouldn't blame him. I would blame our coach for only playing him sporadically last year.

That's a bit premature, he probably could, especially on a Friday night..

I would not want to comment, seeing as how I am a Blues supporter (and I haven't finished the flashing on this glass house)...

Precious lot you Hurricanes fans.
Say one thing about nabbing players and a riot starts.
All I'll say is that J Ioane seems to be under contact for next year at the Highlanders. There's been chat the Hurricanes want him. I doubt the Highlanders will just freely wave him away. Swapping him for another one test All Black, seems not a bad option.
