@stargazer all jokes aside the canes v MP game should be played in Napier
@kiwiwomble The sad thing is, there aren't many Magpies in the Hurricanes squad left, with also Gareth Evans moving back to the Landers.
Confirmed for the Canes are Pouri Rakete-Stones and Devan Flanders. Not sure Isaia Walker-Leawere has re-signed, and he is exactly one of the Magpies who could sign with MP.

@stargazer was more thinking the canes historic catchment, there has to be canes and magies fans that want to watch their players and their team clash

Any Super rugby unsigned Magpies player must be furiously searching their family trees for a PI grandparent at the moment.

Is Ili still under contract for the Rebels?
Yes, he has re-signed with the Rebels.
@stargazer I wonder if he’s kicking himself could’ve had a contract with MP

@kiwiwomble what players the Canes should’ve signed vs players that shouldn’t of been?

ok, maybe its just me, i'll always support the Landers even when i dont rate the current squads and generally always have a soft spot for Otago players that have gone on elsewhere

not to mention a possible HB MP backline of 9-10-12-13-14-15

@mikey07 I don't think so. His brother is a professional basketball player who plays for Melbourne United. So this may be a family-oriented choice.
@stargazer fair enough then, I didn’t even put 2 and 2 together with his brother.

@stockcar86 Yeah, was just going over the names:
A possible MP backline (based on where they've played before):
9 Enari
10 McClutchie
11/13/14 Fomai
12 Leali'ifano
13 Taefu? Fine Inise?
14/11/15 Visinia
15/12 Toala (don't think he's ever played at centre, but maybe he'd be great there)Not sure what Henry Taefu's preferred position is, 12 or 13.
Fine Inise is a wing/13, but I expect him to be lower in the pecking order than Fomai and Visinia. -
-
Obviously the HB fans are getting excited about this team, but for me I am more interested in which current players have moved from a NZ team. So far that's only Visinia and Toala, meaning that the Canes need to find 2 new Wellington players.

Timoci Tavatavanawai i believe has been signed ,
Just wondering what their other outside back options are .@steven-harris said in Pasifika SR team:

He finished his UK contract then moved to the Turbos. I doubt he just came back for an NPC contract.

Speaking of Manawatu, what about Tima Fainga'anuku?
Someone needs to put together a "live" MP squad by position.
