@Canes4life how annoying would it be if we resigned JGB kind of defeats the purpose of not giving him a contract to be fair, could be CGB but yes definitely looks like JGB.

Yup agree it would be a huge step backward. I was hoping he'd go to Moana Pasifika.
Didn't Holland publicly say they've chosen not to re sign him?

It could be Brett Cameron in that post but it looks like JGB to me.

So has Lakai and Higgins though.

So, it's likely to be him, is what I meant.
Looks just like this pic to me:

@foobaNZ I would’ve thought he might have gone to the Highlanders with his brother
It would make sense, and he still might end up there. If PUJ goes down there aswell the Highlanders could end up with four Scots College players in their backline.

We have enough journeymen first fives. We don't need another.

Maybe the Highlanders should go after McClutchie from the Magpies, unless he's signed to MP...

Does anyone have stats on Sinkinson’s size and weight?
Listed as 1.85 m and 92 kg. He is still only 21.

He seems like a highly skilled player so hopefully he develops into a weapon. Unless injuries strike I’m not expecting him to get many minutes next year though.
I think Rayasi, Moorby and Savea will get most minutes on the wings, with Sinkinson / Naholo getting a few runs here and there. Love, Moorby and Barrett will share the fullback duties pending on injuries, rest periods etc.

The Canes should be well off at 2nd Five with Jordie Barrett, Riley Higgins and Peter Umaga-Jensen.
This is going to be the strongest Canes squad since we won the title me thinks.

As long as we have it in the forwards...

If you take into account the way Wellington outmuscled Canterbury in the weekend, and then you add in the likes of Sangster, Lomax, Mafileo, Walker-Leawere, Flanders etc there shouldn’t be any reason why we can’t front against the best packs.
It all depends on who Holland selects of course.
