@nostrildamus I'm sure I don't have to tell you that photos taken with telephoto lens are always deceiving.
This picture would be great for a caption contest though; just look at Alex Fidow.

Even if you lose PUJ to the Landers
Is this a sauce? He needs more gametime, somewhere.
Was a rumor in the Landers thread, but the recent photos of him on the Canes account (playing NPC) suggest that he is staying with the Canes.

Tis a shame. Someone else said he looked good in his brief AB cameo and I thought so too.

It was never a rumour, I just think many on here think he should make the shift south and team up with his brother. None of us would blame him either after he’s been completely shafted by Wellington.

speculation I think not a Rumour.

I don't want to become a stuck record on this. But Lakai is another the Canes must sign
With the big improvement in form by Numia and Lomax the Canes could have some very good front row options. Bird has also surprised me this year so we could have some good lock options. We do need one more quality lock though.
Lakai looks a future super star to me. He would add another high work rate option along with Savea. Maybe at 7
In the backs Morgan has improved out of sight this NPC so we might have a quality 1st. But he needs to keep this up. So I'm feeling a bit more optimistic about our chances now. As long as they sign Lakai and resign Barrett

Do you have room for Lakai in your LF mix with ?
Blake Gibson, Te Kamaka (TK) Howden, Brayden Iose, Du'Plessis Kirifi, Tyler Laubscher, Reed Prinsep,Ardie Savea,and Caleb Delany
all still signed I believe a real danger another team may pick him up. -

But he's a must sign no matter what. If the Canes have f++ked this up (they must have known how good he is) heads should roll. Players of his potential don't come around that often.

@Stargazer said in Hurricanes 2023:
@Chris Not all those players are confirmed, yet, for 2023 (or their contract duration was never published, so we simply don't know). You forgot one who has re-signed: Devan Flanders.
Well yes there is another one.
Looks crammed to me at the Canes because that’s 8 LFs 9 if you add Lakai and most would be still signed something is going to give there at least 2 of them. -
@Stargazer said in Hurricanes 2023:
@Winger He may get a development contract (or already have one).
Real chance he has been offered a full one somewhere else.

He will likely want more though. He good enough already to warrant a full contract

@Bovidae Yep, IIRC, they did something similar when Flanders arrived on the scene. Something like a three-year contract, of which the first year was a development contract and the next two years a full contract. The Highlanders have also signed players on contracts that start in 2024.
