No Harkin is absolutely criminal. Riley Hohepa? **** me.
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.
-
@Chris so Preston has signed for the Crusaders then?, thought Hurricanes offered him a contract, he must have turned it down.
@george33 its was just confirmed on the radio Ian Smith was chatting to someone from the Crusaders , he mentioned Preston had a contract sitting in from of him from both the Canes and Saders but has opted for the latter
-
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

@Steven-Harris I'd have liked Preston but obviously we have Roigard, and a promising Viljeon, so missing out on Kyle doesn't sting as much. Him and Hotham would be in the 23 most weeks at the Saders I'd imagine.

Hohepa and Eneri are both dud signings. I don't see them even pushing for the top 23.
Tis why Harkin not signing is disappointing as he would contend for a spot imo.

Players like Harkin missing out is even more frustrating for me given O'Connor at the Saders. NZ is struggling to find 10s. We should be developing them now, not giving spots to overseas has beens.

@Steven-Harris That’s interesting maybe the appeal of likely getting more gametime appealed.

Hohepa and Enari Really? Would of even taken the Canterbury 10 then him really guttered for Harkin.

Lol Hohepa, Enari, Tucker and Taula are surely going to boost crowd numbers.

@Canes4life BUT BUT there such game breakers..
-
Harkin hasn't shown up elsewhere yet, so, with Cameron named, but being out all season as I understand it, I wonder if he's in the squad via the WTG?

Canes4life can you post up your 23? You're usually on the money.
I think we're a bit underwhelmed with the additions, but I think we still put out a really good 15, and 23 most weeks.

I think our top 23 is quality enough, the issue will be if we get injuries along the way which is highly likely.
I reckon our 23 to play the Saders in week 1 will be reminiscent of the below:
- X Numia
- A Aumua
- T Lomax
- Z Gallagher
- I Walker-Leawere
- C Delany
- P Lakai
- D Flanders (Iose will still be returning from injury)
- C Roigard
- H Godfrey / L Cashmore
- K Naholo
- R Higgins
- B Proctor
- K Banks
- R Love
- J Devery
- T Mafileo
- P Tosi
- B Shields
- D Kirifi
- J Vijoen
- H Godfrey / L Cashmore
- B Sullivan
