      @mikey07 going from the Crusaders thread I'm thinking it might be 38. If it's 35 then McClutchie, Delany and Rakete-Stones probably miss out.

          @mikey07 yeah same, completely moronic from Ben Castle (who I understand is key to the player recruitment drive).

                @Canes4life Love is a 1st 5 so Holland might be happy to use him as the 3rd option and select another winger.

                  @Bovidae they've signed Love as a 'utility' so I'm thinking that may also open up a spot to develop another first five. I suppose we will find out on Dec 2/3

                      @mikey07 probably don’t need him with Aso in there aswell. Would rather us develop Lincoln so when Hickey hopefully pisses off next year we have someone with experience in that position. (Even though it will be very limited experience)

                                @mikey07 being a former Chief maybe he’s trying to sabotage the Canes. Seriously though between Prinsep, Blackwell, Hickey and the re-signing of Savea, the guy should be booted from the job.

                                        He will probably have to look up to Ardie though.
