@Mr-Fish said in Hurricanes 2025:
Confirmed, no Perofeta at the Hurricanes.
But a 'returning Hurricanes legend' (very much not my words) has been signed alongside Cashmore to cover 10 (and it's not someone anyone here will be happy to see return).
Hopefully it is James Blackwell

Bit tall for a 10 (just).

I just saw returning legend. Was hopeful. Can't see too many names that'll pop out as 10 cover from the last five or so years

lol he's not a Canes legend.
PR spin is very loose language. Never give numbers, dates and is best to overhype any unknown

Otere Black? I can't think of anyone else.

@Mr-Fish wow , i’m staggered got that info regarding Perofeta from very respected journalist ,it had also been bought up by a couple others in the know in circles that i move in

Man there are some disappointing signings amongst that lot. Overall it looks to be a weaker squad compared to last year when you consider who’s left.
