This is great news. I didnt have much faith in Laidlaw to make this call. I would still have Cameron on the bench if hes performing, he can be a good game closer with his skillset
I’d prefer Harkin, he can cover 10/15, Cameron can only play one position.
I havent seen Harkin play 10 since Lions 24 season - they need to figure out what they are doing with him. Cameron definitely a better 10 based on performances to date. Love/Moorby covers 15. Cashmore's signing would almost suggest they see him as more of a 10 than Harkin

For anyone that missed it, here is the interview with Cory Jane from last week. Good insight into where the Canes are sitting prior to the season.
I also drove past Peter Lakai when driving down Jackson Street in the weekend, man the kid is built.

ideas?
The commentary on the original post is from a Cam Roigard intercept try Canes vs Landers 2023 - so might be an anticlimax

@Canes4life Thoroughly enjoyed that podcast mate, I need to find time to watch more!

It's already been confirmed above that it's Cam Roigard.
I reckon signing the best halfback in the world (f u Dupont), through until 29/30 is nothing to be sniffed at. I'd take it any day of the week.

@Canes4life Completely agree but less of a surprise than signing a new recruit
-
@DurryMexted Agree. Harkin named as a first five in the 2026 squad and he offers versatility from the bench. 15,14,11, 10 or even 9 if Canes wanted to carry a 6th forward.

So who will start at 10 in the season opener? I hope they give Love a crack. But if they do they should give him a decent run and not chop a d change
Everyone's hoping for Love but I guess we'll probably know by the makeup of their pre season sides.
It will be interesting to see what the Canes do while all the other teams play rugby in round 1.
