Has anyone seen much of Cam Roigard? (Counties first five) he looks to have joined the Canes as one of their training squad members along with Caleb Delaney who IMO should have been there in the first place.

@Canes4life He's more of a halfback. Roigard was in the wider NZ U20 squad.

@Canes4life Watch these highlights.

So this looks to be another kick in the nuts for Lincoln McLutchie.

Counties half back joined academy out of St Peters Cambridge. Handy goal kicker too. Stood out in Counties club rugby for Onewhero last year and made senior squad for the first time, fought his way to be number two in squad.

@Higgins He's Counties' second-choice halfback, not a first five-eighth. See the clip posted above by @Bovidae, and - for example:
So basically, it's more a kick in the guts of Connor McLeod and any Wellington halfback that hasn't made the squad, yet. (Don't know whether Hauiti-Parapara and Connor Collins are already in the Canes wtg). -

@Higgins U think if they had any brains they would include him for pre-Season keep him keen rather then not bother to do anything with him

Maybe I'm missing something but unsure why you rate him so highly. Hes certainly not a 6 and never well be and I'd rate him below Blackwell (although he's slightly taller) as a lock. Sadly he's the sort of player these coaches rate. Good attitude (it seems) but just lacks the physical qualities and skills. And I doubt even with lots of conditioning he will ever have them

@Winger I think your missing something then. He was very solid for Wellington in his limited game time and is definitely a number 6. Very good line-out option, dominant defender and looks to be a smart player to boot. He’s still young so has some developing to do but from what I’ve seen he’s a much better prospect than Blackwell. One of us will be proven wrong I guess.

I spotted Orbyn Leger in one of the Hurricanes Insta stories today.

By the way, they have posted the Hurricanes headshots on the Getty website. It's interesting to see who are and aren't there.
It seems to be the Super Rugby squad only (not WTG), without All Blacks (obviously, they're still on their break) and that seems to include Du'Plessis Kirifi and Peter U-J, who came back from Australia early. The head shot photos were taken (on 13 January). In the mean time, I've seen Kirifi and PU-J in photos/clips on instagram from training.
Not in the head shots and not in the clips/photos on insta: Kane Le'aupepe. Is he (still) injured? Also, Gareth Evans. I don't think he's injured, so ???
In the first set of headshots and photos/clips, but not in the squad announced on 3 December:
Cam Roigard, so I assume he's officially the injury cover for Jamie Booth?In the second, bigger set of headshots, but not in the squad announced on 3 December:
James O'Reilly, why is he there?? Is someone injured? Coles? Aumua? Not Riccitelli, he seems to be training normally. They picked O'Reilly, not Thompson (who I haven't spotted in the WTG clips either, this year), no Kereru-Symes.

@Stargazer Good spotting.
-
@Canes4life Yep, looks like him. Another one taking up a spot that could have been McClutchie's. I don't know why I keep hoping to spot him in clips and photos ... It clearly isn't happening.
@Stargazer you didn't spot Aiden Morgan in this shot which will rub more salt into the wound in regards to McLutchie.
-
A few new players at the link including Tyrone Thompson @Stargazer -
Anyone know who the player is next to Isaia Walker-Leawere?
