Probably our most important signing

A nice squad building for next year, those that have signed so far.

Props: Numia, Tosi, Lomax, Mafileo
Hookers: Aumua
Locks: Walker-Leawere, Allen, Delany
Loose forwards: Flanders, Shields, Kirifi, Lakai, Iose
Halfbacks: Roigard, Vijoen
First fives: Cameron, Godfrey
Centres: Proctor, Sullivan, Barrett, Higgins, Umaga-Jensen
Outside backs: Love, Punivai, Fineanganofo

Players that I hope extend:

Zach Gallagher
Siale Lauaki
Callum Harkin
Kini Naholo (rumour is he's heading to Japan)
Kade Banks
Tjay Clarke

Darren

Kini Naholo (rumour is he's heading to Japan)

I really hope that doesn't happen.

We seem to lose a lot of outside backs when they are right on top of their game.

Flanders also training with the Canes again. Unless we get injuries this weekend, we'll likely have a full squad to pick from heading into the business end of the season. (finally).

Canes players playing Club Rugby in Wellington this weekend are:

Daniel Sinkinson (Wainuiomata)
TJ Clarke (Petone)
Hugo Plummer (Tawa)

Others likely playing in other regions as well.

Update on Harry Godfrey, he will likely make his return later than expected, due back round 15 against the Reds.

Number 10

“Any chance I get, I want to play 10. I grew up playing 10 and my dad (Matene Love) who was my coach played a lot there and my uncle (Danny Love) played a lot there. Growing up they showed me the skills side of things.”

Query: maybe my memory is wonky, I thought on here I read Love was offered 10 or 15 at the Canes and he preferred the 15 jersey?

hmm if Godrey wants to be 10 as well:

""I always would like to be at 10. I enjoyed my time at fullback. They're slightly different, but more of the same. A bit more space at fullback, but you get a bit more touches on the ball at the first receiver."

Ngane Punivai

Imagine how slow he'll be at 28 ...

It's a bit harsh on him. He isn't a speedster and will never be but he has been playing very well lately. I can understand why he is in the starting XV every week.

Bones

@cgrant yeah to be fair, he's definitely taken his game to another level since joining the canes and is playing a role very well. A poor man's James Lowe in a way (not meant in offence).

Funnily enough, ever since I had a beer with his granddad. I shouldn't be surprised.

Tim

Do you guys have a list of players who are off contract at the end of the season?

Tosi signed until 2028.

@sparky great signing. Good tight-head props are a dime a dozen atm. So to have two locked in until at least 2027 is a good start. Locking in Lauaki as our third should be the next target, he’s young and will learn plenty from the likes of Lomax.
