    Did anybody else listen to Avan Lee on radio sport today he reckoned Barrett’s replacement was already at signing terms and that there is going to be some exciting signings “in the short while” I’m really curious as to who thes exciting signings are.

      @mikey07 Yeah, I'm keen to find out as well. I hope they won't keep us in suspense for much longer. Mind you, they may have another idea of "exciting" than we have.

        If they think Marty McKenzie is exciting then we could be in for a very disappointing season.

            @Nepia Plumtree was in the stands at the Hawkes Bay vs Southland game.

            I wonder who he was there to see that he hasn't already signed.

            Marty McKenzie apparently.......

              Canes are really screwed, there really is no option right now for 10. Why not try out JB, no one is standing out so what is there to lose. I'd try him before using JGB.

                @Darren I'd give Fletcher Smith a chance, first, before starting a JB experiment.

                  @Darren I actually used to think he was good without being great but watching him against Canterbury, Counties and BOP he looks like he couldn’t steer a roller coaster. The Lions looked very rudderless so I’m very inclined to give the 10 jersey to Fletcher Smith and give him consistent games in it.

                    @mikey07 his pass is just so laboured aswell which consistently puts those outside him under pressure.

                              @mikey07 sounds like the deal is done re the 1st five. I'm thinking it's probably Damian McKenzie's brother Marty, though I wish it was Damian.

                              He seemed excited about the other names being thrown around so will be interested to see who they are.

                                      @Steven-Harris I'm really happy about that news!! Well-deserved! I wonder whether the Canes are going to announce it, or whether they'll wait until the full squad naming end October.

                                          Plumtree is doing a good job in strengthening our tight five. Overall I think our forwards are stronger than last year which will hopefully offset the loss of Beauden somewhat.
