    On reflection it might be from the time they rolled Nelson Bays for about a hundred. No doubt ChrisB will have the newspaper clippings from that encounter in his scrapbook of the 1997 season and will be able to confirm one way or the other. Pretty sure I would have only been supporting the referee in that game, again another thing that does not happen all that often!

      Have to wonder if Teariki Ben-Nicholas turned down the Canes? Or not offered a spot?
      This one makes me as upset as when we let the Highlanders take Lima Sopoaga from us.

        @Darren yeah I feel the same it does make you wonder, thought Plumtrees not massive on players with X factor judging by some of his signings he seems to favour the no frills player.

          So apparently according to Avan Lee, the Canes already have someone in line as a first five signing for 2021, couldn’t sign him this year for contract reasons. My first bet is that Otere Black will come back to the Canes.

          Also, does anyone know if there will be WTG players this year?

                @Canes4life For 2021, I wonder whether Lee was referring to Sopoaga (who'll come off contract at the end of the 2019-2020 season.

                They don't seem to publish the names of players on a development contract, unfortunately. I usually look at photos of social media; sometimes that gives you a clue.

                  Underwhelming. Hurricanes will do well to make the playoffs.

                    @Stargazer hopefully it’s him .I happened to notice that he was playing 10 and Gopperth at 12 for Wasps on the weekend which I found an interesting concept.

                        @mikey07 I'm only happy if it's Sops, if he will be able to increase his workrate. I haven't watched him play for Wasps, but his last season at the Landers wasn't good at all. Completely switched off.

                                        The matrix is still my favourite movie, but that jersey is The Matrix Revolutions

                                        The home one sucks too
