@tim I take it you didn’t watch him last year? He was very sound for the Canes by the end of the season. Can jump into 10 aswell which proved handy on a few occasions.
I remember being at the Canes vs Reds game last year and was very impressed. Reminds me of a young TJ Perenara, similar in stature with a better pass and a cooler head.
Him and Love are only 21 but that combo is the future for the Canes IMO.

@nepia we have snapped up the classy Cam Roigard from under the noises of the Chiefs.
Shame he's injured this year because he was a gold nugget for the Canes in 2021.Why would the Canes need Roigard when they have Fakatava in the region?
Cos they’re idiots!

BBBR is only 30, but is 7 years older than the next oldest Chiefs lock.

That's harsh canes, they probably thought it was better Fakatava played with Nugget Smith who was from their region too!!

A good story about the long wait McWhannell has had to make his Chiefs debut. Hopefully the injuries are behind him.

But then came a cruel twist of fate as he was eagerly awaiting a debut over the first half of the 2019 campaign.
“I guess just because of my age they didn’t want to throw me out there too early, which was frustrating at the time,” McWhannell said, “because they also weren’t letting me play club rugby, because I was like an injury away, they said.”
That injury then happened on the night of May 4, when Michael Allardice broke his ankle against the Highlanders in Dunedin. But, in a crushing coincidence, McWhannell, having eventually been released to play a few games for Hautapu, had suffered the exact same injury earlier that day.That's some unreal bad luck holy shit. Also didn't know he was on a 5 year contract.

@bovidae McWhannell is going well
Yes, and hopefully he, and others, are back this weekend.
Hopefully we are over the disruptions and can put out a strong team. Canes will be smarting and fired up.
Haven't been to the caketin in ages, think I might see if I can squeeze this in.
