@Stargazer said in Hurricanes 2024:
@Machpants I thought that place burnt down? Or am I confusing it with another venue?
The stands did but who cares, it is about the location, just import some temp ones
That happened after they stopped it there tho@Machpants said in Hurricanes 2024:
but who cares,
A lot of locals care. That grandstand had a huge historical meaning to them. And it's not up to the Hurricanes to decide what happens to that ground as they don't own it. That's up to the people who manage the Mangatainoka Domain.

Not the way I meant it but OK.

So the Canes will again play a game in that hellhole in Palmerston North in 2024. Meaning that we will at best get a preseason game, unless another franchises gives us one of their home games (MP?). :angry_face:

We can’t have you non important provinces getting more then 1 game out of Wellington…Napier and Palmy being in yearly rotation seems utterly stupid why can’t they take two games to the provinces would more then likely make a bigger profit then a mediocre turn out in Wellington.

After missing most of 2023 with injury, Ruben Love has just come back from an extended pre-season in Australia looking in great nick. Hoping he has a massive season for us in 2024.
-
@mikey07 Apparently, Jason Holland is still the head coach and Chris Gibbes the forwards coach.

@Stargazer I’m really looking forward to see how Holland goes with the Canes next year
@mikey07 he’ll manage to pick Prinsep, JSav and Blackwell aswell.

A few wider squad members spotted in the below post that I’ve noticed include:
Sam Coles (Manawatu)
Vernon Bason (Manawatu)
Kyle Preston (Wellington)
Kemara Hauiti-Parapara (Wellington)
Konrad Newland (Hawkes Bay)Looks like TJ Perenara is hugging what looks like Chris Boyd. I wonder if he’s involved as an assistant.

@Canes4life NMS is also in one of the photos.
@Stargazer he was just announced as the Director of Rugby for Poneke so doubt he’s there as a player.
-
@Canes4life christ can you imagine if we end up with Parapara for the Canes too. Good lord.
@foobaNZ for that to happen Roigard, Perenara, Judd and Vijoen would have to get injured first.

@Stargazer said in Hurricanes 2024:
Reon Paul (BoP, midfielder) also training with the Canes.
Another Norths product.
-
PRS hitting 290kg
-
Sam Coles and Logan Wallace are two of the players that have been given National Development Contracts.
@Bovidae plenty of Manawatu players coming through. Shame we didn't snap up Nalaga who's gone to the Drua. He looked like a future star.
-
Tom Allen (Hawkes Bay) another newbie spotted on the Hurricanes mixer.
