    @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).

              Anyway, back to what this thread should be about and my stab at a 38 man squad is:

              *denotes the players that I think will be picked up but haven't been announced yet.

              Dane Coles
              Asafo Aumua
              Ricky Riccitelli

              Isaia Walker-Leawere

              Brayden Iose
              Du'Plessis Kirifi
              Vaea Fifita
              Ardie Savea
              Reed Prinsep
              Gareth Evans
              Caleb Delany*

              Jamie Booth
              Jonothan Taumatiene
              Luke Campbell*

              Jackson Garden-Bachop
              Simon Hickey
              Lincoln McClutchie*

              Ngani Laumape
              Peter Umaga-Jensen
              Danny Toala

              Wes Goosen
              Julian Savea
              Salesi Rayasi / Jonah Lowe

              @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

                  @Canes4life or James Tofa another midfield option.

                    @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 Aidan Morgan can take his spot. 😁

                              @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.

                                    In terms of height, that's 2 Blackwells, right?

                                      He will probably have to look up to Ardie though.
