Hurricanes 2021
-
The Hurricanes already have Jamie Booth and Jonathan Taumateine for 2021. I only want Fakatava to move to the Canes if he makes a decent chance of game time, which he didn't get at the Highlanders this year. I don't know whether Hammington is still under contract at the Landers. Hammington moving to the Canes might be best for Fakatava if he stays at the Highlanders. Moving to the Canes will only be good for Fakatava if he can leapfrog who are already there (which may also be best for the Canes). With this coaching group, I can't see that happening.
@Stargazer I really hope we don’t sign Hammington but it does make the 3rd halfback spot very interesting.

@Kiwiwomble I agree, but then they should give him a lot more game time next season, or he won't be ready. It was mind-boggling how they kept him out of the 23 for most games, this year. I know he's a puppy, but he needs time on the paddock at SR level.
@Stargazer 100%, Smith needs to drop down to 60 mins at most and even come off the bench, close out the games
the more i think about it a couple of weaker aussie teams might be good...

Congratulations Du’Plessis Kirifi for being called up to the All Blacks. That makes it 9 Hurricanes in the AB squad for Australia.

Hahaha fuck you guys wanna hear something funny? Hurricanes Instagram page blocked me for saying that he doesn't warrant a Super contract based on his M10 Cup form.
-
@Yeetyaah such a disappointing signing. He’s not even up to Mitre 10 Cup standards. Typical Canes, I had a feeling this was going to happen.
@Canes4life Yep, it almost seemed inevitable. I wonder whether they've signed him as an outside back or a midfielder?
This signing may have more commerical value (attracting crowds?) than value on the field.

@Stargazer It will more likely prevent fans from turning up because if he’s in the side the Canes are in trouble. He’s proven already this year that he still has tits for hands, no pace whatsoever and a tendency to seagull on the wing waiting for the ball to come his way.
It seems more like a pity signing to me, or a signing to keep Ardie happy so he doesn’t head off to league.

@Yeetyaah Ha, my cousin posted a disappointed response that wasn't rude at all, and it has been removed!

@Stargazer I don't think I was rude. "Wasted signing tbh, would be more beneficial to sign a young guy. M10 Cup form doesn't warrant a selection."
-
@Yeetyaah Yeah, my cousin just posted something like "Not thrilled by this signing".
(I wasn't implying your post was rude as I didn't see it).
@Stargazer ha nah I know you weren't. Just funny tbh. At least the Blues instagram page responds by roasting the commenters. Been on the receiving end of that as well.

@Stargazer I was the same on the Canes Facebook page though they can’t keep up he’s getting roasted.

Prop?

Definitely prop then.
