        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.

          I don’t get why Brett Cameron is still there? Thought he was out for the season?

            They should also name the WTG/AB cover players.

              Still contracted ? The Crusaders named Will Jordan last year knowing he wouldn't play maybe the same thing.

                  Riley Hohepa, that has got to be a joke, what a negative signing with someone like Harkin right there

                    Also, no Patrick Tuifua despite the rumours.

                      I think I specifically mentioned Hohepa earlier in this thread as the type of dud signing we want to avoid.

                        What happened to the rumoured Patrick Tuifua signing ?,has he changed his mind or gone to another franchise.You wouldn't think he would have taken a WTG contract when he would earn much more money in France.

                          The Will Tucker chat I was told and shared here was accurate. Interesting guy to pick up… could do worse for a depth player though. Not a bad squad overall

                            That is a bad signing Hohepa was a massive handbrake for the Crusaders last year.Harkin would have been a better signing he looks promising.

                              Enari being signed would that mean Adam Lennox is with the Chiefs? It's just I think Lennox has been the most consistent 9 in npc the past 2 yrs

                                Tuifua is "signed" as pre-season injury cover only for Brayden Iose who had surgery during the NPC. Once Iose returns to full fitness, maybe not in time for season opener, then Tuifua will be gone unless there are injuries to other loose forwards.

                                      @Chris so Preston has signed for the Crusaders then?, thought Hurricanes offered him a contract, he must have turned it down.

                                        We can put out a strong 23 with that squad. As usual with a Canes squad though some real dud signings.
