    Think we can almost write of our chances this year? Much as we love what Roigard does, without a good 10-12 combo outside him, it is looking grim. I actually probably worried about defence as much as game controllers.

      Who else can play fullback apart from Godfrey that is fit?

      Not sure the status of Tjay Clarke, but if fit he’s an obvious one. Had a strong NPC and is a player on the rise.

      In TSF tradition, you obviously didn't read the article. 🙂

        He did play fullback for Waikato occasionally so is an option.

          It's all about the headline. TBF I just watched the video of JM talking about the situation.

            Lol give up before the season even starts. Come on mate.

            Our forward pack looks primed for a good year.

            10 is the obvious problem but it can be rectified pretty quickly once we start getting guys back OR if we play the right guy from the outset ala Godfrey.

            12 isn't an issue, Higgins is more than capable and Umaga-Jensen goes well there.

            If we can win one of the Crusader or Blues games in the opening three weeks and take care of the Drua at home, things will be alright.

                  Wainui and sold out, it's been a long time since I heard those two in a sentence. Whatever happened to Chloe?

                    Mate I remain hopeful, but I know how important 10 is. I would love it if we had got Jacomb from here in the Naki, a player I truly believe will be a long term AB in future years. Although I keen on Godfrey, I worry about his ability to actually steer a team around field. If he had been 10 for HB I would of felt better. And Higgins another I hold hope for, he just needs to hold his defence lines .

                      That's a real shame you can't get along, at least they've provided a link this time.

                        Lomax has a stress fracture and might not be available until Rd 5 or 6.
                        Aumua had foot surgery before Christmas and hasn't returned to full training yet. Could return for the Drua match.

                            Possibly the Canes 2 most valuable players....

                              I have never heard of any of the Hurricanes First Fives. Do any of them have potential?

                                You obviously don’t watch the NPC or live under a rock. 😂

                                Godfrey has been in the squad for three years now so is primed for his opportunity. Plays 10/15 for Hawkes Bay. He’s most people’s preferred choice to get first crack.

                                Hohepa has been in the Canes environment before and was in the Crusaders last year. Plays for Counties in the NPC but played mostly 12 this year. He’ll likely get the first opportunity in the 10 jersey as Godfrey will likely start at 15.

                                Harkin plays for Wellington and kicked the winning penalty to clinch the title earlier in the year. He should have got a full squad contract but the Canes ended up signing Cashmore and Hohepa instead.

                                Cashmore plays for Bay of Plenty and has been in the Blues environment over the last few seasons. Unfortunately he’s out for 10 weeks.

                                        Every time I come here there’s another injury. Ffs, the year we lose Howden as well.

                                          Probably means Patrick Tuifua will be sticking around a lot longer?

                                          He was originally only there as cover until Iose comes back.
