@Higgins It’s an absolute shame their Pressies team had to fold a few years ago I always enjoyed playing them.
Yes it was disappointing but they all reached the mid fifties age about the same time and although their minds were willing to carry on their bodies were not. Still a decent number front up on the sidelines to watch games each week which is good to see. Sadly the number of Pressies teams is reducing by one or two each year in Wellington as the younger players seem to disappear and are not carrying on playing once they get past playing in the more competitive grades any more. The same could be said about the once very popular regular Golden Oldies Sunday gatherings that used to be held here in the Bay where every Club had a team and now I think there might only be couple of teams still going.

@Higgins i see the dilemma players face when deciding to make the switch to the Axemen. its a make or break i guess. all the best to them this year im hoping yous have better results then last year. ive seen pre season videos the boys are training hard. keep an eye on David Johnson aka Vika! that boys a gun!!
id be sure to yarn to Sonny next time i see him at paknsave about his Tight head playing days haha. He kept that under wraps. Good old Martin luckie! we played touch rugby and flag there everyday growing up. i can imagine what you went through being thrown in the deep end by your team not showing up then having to lace up. i remember the cold muddy games at good ol Martin Luckie Park. A proud moment for you!. Junior is forever repping "the mighty Axemen" everywhere he goes even on social media, would not suprise me if he has another run this year! a good lad.
also, i forgot Billy Proctor originally from Axemen! like his dad.. all these clubs claiming him "theirs" is funny to see

Sullivan re-signs for one more year.

Yay?
Meh. Once we have all our midfielders back including Barrett he won't see much gametime. But good to have a player that can cover midfield and wing.

Glad we have him this year.
And does go ok on the wing as well. -
Hearing a whisper that a returning from injury All Black, possibly 2, will be named in the squad to take on Moana this week. A big boost for the Canes
-
Likely Aumua and Lomax but hopefully it's Proctor. We need his defence.

Love extends contract
Now he's got to get fit, back to form, and Razor has to give him a go

Back to form is key. He looks bloody fit already but it will take him three to four rounds to get going again.
Great signing though. Key to the Canes future and hopefully key to our success.

Now we just need to work out if Godfrey can be the answer at 10
Canes need to persist with him. He’s looked the goods at times and that’s with pretty ordinary players outside him. Once we get our best backline on the park we’ll see what he’s really made of.
-
@Canes4life agree! we need to stick with him, needs time, he'll figure it out ..hes our next BB! form a combination with Riley, and Proctor outside him ..daayumm
