@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.

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. -
Likely Aumua and Lomax but hopefully it's Proctor. We need his defence.

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.

I just took my family to the Life Flight Open Day at Lyall Bay / Wellington Airport and was a bit disappointed with the Hurricanes. 1000s of people there, plenty of families and kids and overall it was a very well run event. The Hurricanes had a stand with a few passing games set up for the kids. However, not one Hurricanes player bothered to show up. All they had was the mascot and a Marketing chick manning the space and the kids were a bit bemused at what to do because there was no one showing them the ropes.
Jesus Christ Hurricanes, I’m sick of this club not getting the basics right. It’s not hard to send a few players a long to interact with the kids. Missed opportunity as per usual.
Grant Elliot was there with Life Flight and he was interacting with all the kids, showing them a couple cricket techniques and the right way to do it.

@Canes4life Problem is on a bye that's the only weekend they get with their families

It’s one of their main sponsors. I’m sure they could have found a couple players that could have stepped up. No excuses and looks really bad in what was a pretty big community event.

@Canes4life Totally agree even if it’s there wider training group players at least someone even the injured players.

100%, the only organisation at that event that didn't have their shit together.

Damn don’t think Riley will be available for a few rounds yet. This was only posted four days ago:
