@kiwimurph Agreed. Looks like we'll have Perofeta/Gatland then to start off with.

@tim neither of our 10s look upto Super Rugby, Hawkins had a stint with the Rebels in 2016 and is a good solid 10 (brave defender in the mould of Holwell) and IMO M10 Cup is his ceiling, Breen showed promise when he came North, was in Blues dev side but has failed to kick on, not helped by our chopping and changing 10s.

@taniwharugby if Hawkins had a decent kicking game he'd up his value. Except he fires off line kicks like the last bit of water dribbling out of a hose!

Sam Cane has re-signed with NZ rugby and the Chiefs for four more years (end of the 2021 season)!

The Hurricanes have signed Jackson Garden-Bachop for two years.

It's interesting that the Rebels let him go; he was on a two-year contract, so had another year to go. I guess, with their new coach coming from the Force, he may bring a first-five with him from Perth?

@winger said in Hurricanes 2018:
Very good signing. (And West will be concerned). He was a big improver this year so will watch with interest how he goes.

Jackson Garden-Bachop signs two-year Super Rugby deal with Hurricanes
After making his debut in Super Rugby with the Melbourne Rebels in 2017, Wellington first five-eighth Jackson Garden-Bachop is coming home. -
Do the Crusaders still have Leon Fukofuka? Is he even still in NZ, as I can't recall seeing him for Auckland this season. If he's still on the books then there's a logjam after Hall and Drummond consisting of Stratton, Enari and Fukofuka and surely someone will sign elsewhere.

From NMS Facebook page:
Kia Ora Everyone, Big mihi for all the support and especially the messages over the past week. The Surgeon is wrapped with how the Operation went. I had the Labrum, Rotator Cuff , Supraspinatus/infraspinatus and Bicep tendon all repaired which is similar to the surgery on my left wing last year. Rehab / Recovery should be around 6-7months, however first stage is a couple weeks rest while the wounds heal and then go from there. I have learnt from past injuries to not worry about what is out of my control, take it one step at a time and focus on the "here&now". Combine those with a relentless drive to come back stronger and I know I've got this 👊 I'll keep you posted on my Road2Recovery ❤ - NMS

Ere Enari. Another one out for the 2018 Super Rugby season, just after signing with the Crusaders.
Talented halfback Ereatara Enari will miss what would have been his debut season with the BNZ Crusaders in 2018, after breaking his leg playing for Canterbury in the Mitre 10 Cup. (...) "We were really excited to be able to announce that Ere had signed with the BNZ Crusaders in 2018 and 2019. We see huge potential in Ere and believe he has a big future in this team. So to see him break his leg last Friday night and then to confirm that the injury will rule him out of Super Rugby in 2018 was devastating. (...) Enari played one game for the BNZ Crusaders in 2017 (coming off the bench against the Brumbies in round one), while Mitchell Drummond was recovering from his own broken leg, but 2018 would have been his first year named in the squad. -
@stargazer Razor thinking ahead by signing a 4th halfback. Well done that man, but thwarted by bad luck. If there's a silver lining to this situation it's that maybe they can sign Jack Stratton for one year as injury cover (if he hasn't already been snapped up elsewhere). Keep a heap of options open.
