Check out the right winger. He returns.
Was excellent for Otago and actually wondered why Highlanders didn’t take a solid look. Sounds more like off field stuff and a injury here and there has gotten in his way.

@Landers92 could be an option for the Canes if he plays well in the NPC,

I'm pretty sure he played rugby league in Auckland last year. Saw an article somewhere that said only being a partially contracted player in Dunedin was difficult financially, and that's why he returned to Auckland. Probably at that level where he was a very competent NPC winger. Just not Super quality.

@SouthernMann Yup that is correct about league. Good to see him back playing the right code, always enjoyed watching him play.

I hope the Canes have their eyes on Callum Harkin who today guided OBU to the Jubilee Cup. I’ve watched him a couple of times now and he would be a far better option than JGB.
I remember him breaking his leg in a Canes pre season game back in 2019 playing as a halfback. He looks to have come of age as a ten though. Hopefully he starts for Wellington this year.

So I’ve heard a few people mention that Mo’unga will be at the Canes in 2026. 50/50.

All the best TJ, another Hurricanes great leaves at a good time. Top Super Rigby try scorer and a key influence to our title in 2016. He’s doing the right thing IMO and deserves to cash in over in Japan while he’s healthy.

Yea. Leaves a great. Our best 9 when in form? Weepu and Preston (childhood favourite) up there.
His combo in 15 & 16 with Beauden was deadly.
Yeah the TJ and Barrett combo is awesome. Shame we didn’t win a couple more titles with them at the helm.
I think Roigard will end up being our greatest 9 but right now Perenara is the Canes best 9 we’ve had so far, you can probably argue a case for Weepu aswell. Hopefully we can secure or develop a very good 10 that can partner Roigard going forward.

Sounds like Godfrey has a good game in their first Shield challange for 2024
As long as he stays at first and keeps it up for even tougher games ahead

Yeah I watched it, you can find the stream on their FB page. Godfrey was very good with ball in hand but still has a few kinks to iron out.
