@frugby and I guess to an extent they may look at a player and think henhad a great season, maybe we will wait as many have that 2nd season syndrome, but if they do it comes back to spaces and timing, plus another factor might be the teams desire to stay within thier region.
Certainly do think when teams get down to the last couple of spots, there seems to be more of a willingness to go local.

i would be surprised if last years new outside backs were all signed on multi year contracts
My thought as well, though it does seem like the majority of players, particularly younger ones are offered two-year deals. Seems to be very few one and done players.

@frugby Hurricanes need
- x2 hookers - Josh Southall, James O'Reilly, Jacob Devery are all options
- x2 props - Pouri Rakete-Stones, Tevita Mafileo, PJ Sheck are options here.
- x2or3 locks - Justin Sangster, Dominic Bird, Caleb Delany, Hugo Plummer, Geoff Cridge are all options
- 3 or more loose forwards - TK Howden, Brayden Iose are obvious signings.
- x2 halfbacks - Roigard and someone else - maybe Jordie Vijoen
- x1 first five (potentially) - hopefully pick up McClutchie - depends if they see Godfrey as a 10 or not.
- 3 or four outside backs - a few to sign-up in the outsides i.e. Kini Naholo
Some of these spots have probably already been taken up but announcements have not been made.
I.e Cam Roigard is pretty much certain to sign on but it hasn't been confirmed.

@taniwharugby its fair to say theres been some current super rugby contracted wingers that in my opinion were very average during the Npc and they are very fortunate they are contracted for 2024

Naki ten. He looks promising
-
@Canes4life IIRC, he was the Crusaders U20 first five in 2022? I think he played for Buller or West Coast in the Heartland Ch'ship last year, and now for Naki.
-
@Stargazer awesome, will have to keep an eye out.
-
@Stargazer Josh Jacomb was in the 2021 Chiefs U20s that won in TaupÅ. He went to school at Sacred Heart but might be from Taranaki. He's 22 now. Jacomb was in the Chiefs Dev squad this year too.
Jack Parker was the ex NPBHS 1st 5 who went to Chch and played for Buller.

@cgrant who is Jacomb?
You should have a look at the Naki vs North Harbour highlights.
