@Canes4life just a rumour (an old one) but i hope it aint true.. he aint happy with how Canes done his bro over, but this is before he went to Japan, dunno he couldve had a change of heart
They gave his bro a contract extension even when he was past it. It came to a point that he clearly wasn't up to the standard of a Canes contract so they had to make the tough call. Ardie would come across as seriously precious if that was the case.
The fact he trained with the Canes when he returned makes me think he's happy enough now and has probably accepted that it was time for JSavea to move on. Laidlaw would of had a chance to talk to him aswell and he's a pretty likeable guy so I'm sure ASavea won't go anywhere.

@Canes4life i really hope so, hes still got some strong connections with some of the guys in the team so hoping that and new coaching outfit would sway his decision

I would say the deal has been done either way. They were close to negotiating an extension about a month ago. You'd think Ardie would want to sort that out before the test season got underway.

. he aint happy with how Canes done his bro over,
Best thing that happened to Julian
His only poistion he has the speed for now is 2nd 5. Cnaes have better options here whereas for MP he was perfect

I'm actually surprised Ardie still thought his bro was up to it. Hope he never becomes a selector.
-
@Canes4life not meant coaches have to choose their brother, or not, Pro level. Pretty irrelevant
-
Hurricanes announce new attack coach, Brad Cooper. Son of ex Canes coach Colin and currently a part of the Under 20s setup over in South Africa. He was also in the coaching setup of the Taranaki side that won the NPC last year.
-
Moorby and Sangster officially out the door.

The noise I’m hearing about Savea not being at the Canes next year is getting louder.
the only teams that could do with him are in the South Island. Unless Hoskins fucks off in a hissy fit
-
@mariner4life Akira has moved also
-
-
@mariner4life he could b at super level easily, it's along season
-
and therein lies why the Highlanders are perpetually fucked.

Ardie will be 30 next year. Sotutu if he stays around is a much better option at 8
Blues are well covered at 7 but Ardie is not really a 6
MP could be a better option if he wants a change. Othwerwise he will be best to stick with the Canes
-
@mariner4life Solid bench option for the Blues. Choat offers more on defence and at the ruck though.
-
You'd think if he goes anywhere, it'd be MP?
That'd be huge for them, certainly help attract others too.
-
Talk about a sensitive character if Savea moves because his brother was too shit to get a contract. The Hurricanes gave Julian a reprieve when he performed poorly for Toulon, the Savea’s should be thankful to the Canes for extending his super career when there were question marks about his performance back then. He probably played three years more than he should have for the Canes. Enough was enough but obviously Ardie can’t handle that. It’s business pal.
