@Bones Theres some HOBM players in there see Laursen gets a go after being the 10 for the last 3-4 years
Such obvious favouritism. Hopefully having most of the rest of the side littered with his HOBM teammates will help.

@mikey07 none of the Hurricanes Under 20s from Wellington made the cut apart from Morgan & Love. Higgins should definitely be there, maybe there is a restriction on how many players you can have in the squad that are around the 19/20 age bracket? Otherwise it's laughable that he's missed out to the very mediocre Alosio.
What I don't get is that Higgins / Lakai aren't part of the dev team either... anyone know why?

You may be right. Both Harry Godfrey and Frank Lochore made the Magpies squad. Godfrey is U19 and Lochore at least U20. Tiaki Fabish and Jordan Thompson-Dunn are not in the squad. I expect them to be named in the HB Saracens (Jonty Stewart has been named in our U19 squad; Godfrey, too, btw).

Maybe in the Wellington U19s?

@stargazer I wonder if that trend continues over the other squads? Hopefully that's the case and they are just focusing on under 19s this season.
Higgins and Godfrey are future Hurricanes IMO, atleast Godfrey made the HB squad.

BOP have 2 u20 players in their main squad,but another 5 in their development group
-
@canes4life he's not in the centurions /development team either, so was wondering if he's injured or heading overseas

Totally agree about Alosio, Crowley might think he has enough depth in the midfield.

😂 Still holding onto that.
