you can easily get away with a 10 that doesn't have a big boot, as long as you have a 9 who can kick, and a fullback or 12 with a big boot for line clearances and penalties. We are collectively just too dumb and set in our ways to do that effectively.

Riley Higgins broken leg ffs

Argh ffs. We just better hope we get no more injuries. That's a massive blow IMO. He made the impact I was expecting, just has touches of class that we will certainly miss in the playoffs if we get there.
Kini and Iose now also gone for the season. We've had some horrible luck, just can't buy a trick. Always seems to be our form players as well.

Surely no space at canes. I'd say Pro D2, Japan or lets say Western Force
There’s also a certain team in the South Island that could do with another 10.
Guess it comes down if he wants to chase the money at a young age, don’t blame him if he does.
He could be a nice pick up for the Landers. My issue with Morgan was he never had a big boot, his running game was sound but he never got any distance on his kicks which is important in today's game.

A poor man's Mitch Hunt.

Except Hunt didnt have the running game but had the kicking game, similar players but opposite at what their best trait is.
I wouldn’t be upset if we got him. 23 years old with room to grow, wouldn’t count as a foreign player too. Better than going and grabbing your Patchells and Burns of the world imo.

All Hunt could do was run, his kicking from hand was child like.

Maybe I just have visions of him kicking the ball away every time we looked good on attack so feels like he kicked it more. Gives me PTSD thinking about it

Gotta be one of the worst team songs out there. Far too slow with no hype, too many words and the players look like new entrants learning how to clap in time for the first time.

@Landers92 Surely not Enari

Apologies. If it makes you feel any better Devery is 2026 and Plummer is 2027.

Hugo PlummerPlummer is the only one I'm happy about from that list.
What the hell do they see in Enari? If Roigard gets injured we are done for.

Plummer deserves that contract, good on him. I really hope we extend Gallagher as well.
So we extend Devery for one year which will mean we likely lose Bason.

Thought we might see more of Viljoen this year than Enari who has always struck me as a 3rd option.

Yep, Vijoen has amassed a whopping 22 mins this year, a solid cameo when he came off the bench against the Waratahs. I would have thought Vijoen would have been the reserve halfback for most of this year.
Mind boggling when you factor in how average Enari is.
Hopefully Vijoen can make a statement in the NPC and demand selection.

Another bit of inside news for Canes fans.
Callum Harkin extended through 2027. Expect to hear that most likely this week, maybe next.
