Hurricanes 2025
-
That Stuff article above also states the full squad will be announced on November 12.

From the same Manawatū Standard article.
Flyn Yates will be in the Hurricanes wider training group while loosehead Joseph Gavigan will cover for their All Blacks in Europe. He has been muscling up with big workouts in his Pahīatua woolshed.
Young hooker Raymond Tuputupu was already contracted, and the Hurricanes have found room for fellow hooker Vernon Bason.
Manawatū’s other Hurricanes are No 8 Brayden Iose and lock Josh Taula while flanker TK Howden is off to the Highlanders for game time. Iose recently had a cleanup operation on a knee that would have ruled him out of the All Blacks XV.
Four Manawatū players have picked up national development contracts and will be with the Hurricanes from pre-season. They are Logan Wallace, loose forward Mosese Bason, halfback Jai Tamati and first five-eighth Liam O’Connor, all in their second year in the Manawatū academy.

@Bovidae sounds like the Canes have signed four hookers then. Unless both Devery and O'Reilly have been released.
The Josh Taula signing is a massive dud, he couldn't even crack the Manawatu 23 in the NPC this year.

Confirmed, no Perofeta at the Hurricanes.
But a '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.
