I'm shocked hahaha

@SouthernMann until 2027, whoop whoop. That is an outstanding signing.
Hang on wasn't he going elsewhere?

Agree. Excellent signing
Now Canes need to announce a few more. Including who the new head forward coach is
-
@Winger and they need to nail down a quality long term first five to partner Roigard. I'm not sure Cameron is the answer.

I still wouldn't mind seeing Barrett at first. With Higgins at 2nd
But Cameron had some great games last year. The coaches just need to work on his confidence a bit. He doesn't seem to like being the main man
-
@Winger I don't think Barrett will move into ten tbh, I think the Canes see him settled at 12. If you're going to shift Jordie it would be to move him back to fullback to accommodate Higgins at 12, and then maybe Love could jump into ten. There will be a few selection dilemmas next year in the backs.
-
No way Jordie moves to 10.
It'll be Cameron at 10, and to be honest he's probably one of the better 10s floating around post Mounga and Barrett.
DMac and Perofeta are probably 1 & 2 next year I'd imagine in the country?
Love could convert but at this stage, he looks more a 15 to me.

Agree. Nota permanent move. But if needed I think he could do well at 10. It will also give game time to Higgins
I certainly wouldn't move JB to FB. Weve got enough options including Sinkinson. Although he seems like no more than NPC level but might improve

Someone's tea leaves were beyond their use-by date.

Ennor still on his way to the Highlanders though no doubt, and Ah Kuoi surely set for a last-minute u-turn move to the Blues.

Hopefully for the upcoming 23 in the quarters!

@foobaNZ Whether Morgan and Cameron are the only signed 10s depends on where they see Godfrey's future. All signs are there that he'd make a good SR 10, but he doesn't get to play there much, neither for the Canes or Hawke's BaY. His serious injury early in the NPC season obviously didn't help.
It's difficult to know which 10s are available because contract durations are often not published. The only one I know about for certain that he is off-contract is Lincoln McClutchie.
You'd think getting to play with the likely AB 9 and 12 for the next WC cycle would be a pretty compelling reason to come to the Canes.
Yeah, but if the Canes don't show any interest, that won't matter much.
-
@foobaNZ we also have Harry Godfrey but if he's seen more as a fullback I'd like us to sign either McClutchie or Jacomb from Taranaki. I feel like Morgan might get the chop once his contract expires next year.
