Hurricanes 2023

@Yeetyaah said in Hurricanes 2023:
Flanders and Walker-Leawere sign til 2024.
Hurricanes media release:
-
Without trying to start rumours I was talking to someone today that's in close circles with the likes of O'Reilly, J Garden-Bachop and Goosen (who are all leaving the Canes), and his assumption was that a Blues player was on the Hurricanes radar to replace Goosen. Joing the dots it makes me think that could be Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens but I could be wrong.
Du Plessis Kirifi commented with a shake hands emoji on JRK's leaving post on Insta so maybe that's a slight hint.

- Tevita Mafileo
- ?? I think we need another experienced prop here - not sure who that would be though.
Hookers:
- Asafo Aumua
- Dane Coles
- ?? Jacob Devery or Raymond Tuputupu would be my main contenders to replace O'Reilly
Locks:
- James Blackwell

- TK Howden
- Devan Flanders
- Ardie Savea
- Tyler Laubscher
- Du Plessis-Kirifi

First Fives:

I reckon you are top heavy in forwards 24/16 split seems a bit out, its normally 38 man squad.You have a potential 40 in your squad.
Something like a 21/17 or 22/16 split. -
@Canes4life I haven’t heard anything in terms of resigning and as far as I’m aware when they first sign Super Rugby contracts it’s only for a year.

40 players ? did the Canes have injury cover for Bird and Franks that would explain it.
-
@Chris that might explain it, I’m just going from their initial squad announcement last year.
In that case Delany would probably be that 5th lock, and we wouldn’t have room for another prop.

I think you are right.I thought Delany went well when he got a chance.
-
@Canes4life I'll be happy if they retain Barrett.
But we need some quality signings at lock and 1st 5. But even then not a hope if winning. Canes are as weak now as the first few years. Thank god for our 2 starting abs.. we need 2 or 3 more though yet I couldnt see any this year
