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

Few canes extensions coming over the next few weeks.

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.

Superb news. He's been class this year in a position that he wasn't familiar with.

Do you think the Blues may be courting Bason to join his sister there? He has been training with them for a few weeks and they even took him to Fiji.

Strong possibility because Aumua has already signed and Tuputupu has been largely the reserve rake this year off the bench so doubt they will let him go.
Without starting a rumor, you could almost consider it a done deal if they see Bason as an option, especially considering the Blues have now lost Riccitelli.

@Canes4life There is also the Slater heading north talk about, which would complicate it. Ekland and Mullens are both contracted next season. Unless Ekland is the unknown player rumored to want out of his contract to head for Japan. Bason would be a great pick up though.

Crusaders are full and the Highlanders are full in terms of hookers, assuming the Chiefs are as well then it's likely he'll stay in the Canes environment if he doesn't shift up to Auckland.
His brother might get a Canes contract next year so that might keep him in Welly as well.
