Players that I expect will pick up contracts - taking the squad number to 31
Jordie Barrett, Ardie Savea, Gareth Evans, Danny Toala, Isaia Walker-Leawere, Pouri Rakete-Stones, Xavier Numia, Tyrone Thompson, Cam Roigard
-
@canes4life Oh I totally thought he was on his way out
@machpants he may have asked for a release possibly...

@mikey07 hopefully Campbell or Booth.

@mikey07 hopefully Campbell or Booth.

@canes4life yeah I agree but can see Holland being his stupid self and giving Taumateine another 2 year contract.
@mikey07 I wouldn't be surprised at all.
On a side note - I know it was the last game of the year and the Canes non-playing reserves probably deserved to let off some steam but I felt some of them were a little off their game professionally in the Chairman's lounge on Friday night. I won't name names but a few of the boys were smashing back the beers and grabbing more rounds than everyone else in the lounge. I just thought it was a little off when there were kids around who were keen to have a chat with them.
The notable ones were guys that I don't think will be in the squad next year so maybe they were drowning their sorrows.
The only guy I spoke to was Gareth Evans, he was probably the only Hurricane who made an effort to yarn with members in the lounge so for that reason alone I hope he gets a contract for 2022, which is highly likely.

@canes4life I have a fair idea of who they would be.

@bovidae said in Hurricanes 2021:
@LABCAT Likely join big brother at the Blues.
Would the Blues want him?
Sullivan looks like he has a lot of potential and Tuivasa-Sheck is also joining them next year, doesn't seem like they need to recruit another fullback.

Even if they wouldn't consider moving him to the midfield, I'm sure they would want him. A somewhat established All Black is better than both a possible future All Black and a league convert (even if he's a good league convert).
Besides, RTS can play wing too.
-
They should make a possible move from Jordie to the Blues conditional on Sullivan moving to the Canes.
@stargazer that’s a good idea a Love Sullivan 10 15 combo looks good
-
@mikey07 hopefully Campbell or Booth.
@canes4life Have to be Booth you would think. I struggle to really find a lot uf upsides with Campbell, if you watch him when he playing his first instinct is always to go left, usually means his pass to right is a little laboured.
-
@canes4life sign of a great team culture there

Bring back the Hammer!

I really hope Canes play Jordie at 12 now that Laumape has gone.
