Great news. With Ardie coming back I was thinking we may not hold on to Flanders & Iose.
How long is Lakai locked away for?

Will TK Howden be the one that gets squeezed out?

@Duluth he could be AB quality with more opportunity. Expect him to shift to another franchise.

@foobaNZ or is he? ...

@Duluth great signings!! all with the potential for higher honours

Just a shame we lost Roigard, Proctor, Asafo Aumua
They really are key to us winning. I don't think I can understate how important they are.
Do we have any updates? Proctor at least is back soon?
@Darren Proctor will be back next week, Delany and Lomax likely aswell.
Aumua is back running and doing weights so good chance he’ll be back for the quarters.
-
@BerhamporeNinja are you implying Ardie isn't coming back? Isn't that a done deal?
@foobaNZ Ardie is 100% coming back next season.
-
@canefan hopefully he can make a full recovery.

Hurricanes lock up Higgins, Cameron and Umaga-Jensen until the end of 2026

Surprised PUJ extended
@Duluth probably because Jordie won’t be there next year. Higgins and PUJ will be fighting for that 12 jersey. I would have been surprised by it if Jordie was there next year but I’m happy PUJ is signing on because depth is key.
I’m hoping Higgins is first choice.

So confirmed Canes signings from next year onwards are as follows, I think the big one will be locking up Peter Lakai on a long term contract aswell as locking down the likes of Naholo, Sullivan and Sangster. Other than that I think the Canes are assembling a very strong squad for 2025. The main area of recruitment in the off season will be in the outside backs. Someone like Caleb Tangitau could be a target as he's played plenty of rugby/sevens under Laidlaw and we will need a replacement for Moorby next year.
2025:
Ruben Love
Asafo Aumua
Harry Godfrey
Xavier Numia
Ardie Savea
TK Howden
Billy Proctor
Daniel Sinkinson
Josh Taula
TJ Perenara
Siale Lauaki2026:
Tevita Mafileo
Tyrel Lomax
Brad Shields
Devan Flanders
Pasilio Tosi
Brett Cameron
Riley Higgins
Peter Umaga-Jensen
Isaia Walker-Leawere2027:
Cam Roigard
Brayden Iose
Caleb Delany2028:

I hope they also find a new backs coach that can see this.
But very pleased that Higgins has signed. Also, Cameron but only because the other options are poor, or not even close to ready yet (Godfrey).
PUJ I've given up on now.

@Winger hopefully Morgan departs so Godfrey gets more game time at 10. I think Godfrey will get more time there next year anyway but to not have Morgan in the way will help. I'd be happy with Cameron, Godfrey and then Love as back-up. We would just need to find a solid fullback option to cover Love. Real shame we are losing Moorby, I know Robertson has tried to keep him in NZ but he will be in France next year, he probably left a year or two too early tbh. I wonder if there are any good fullback/wing options off contract this year?

Surely there were some other contracts on the table from other franchises for both players. I guess the comfort of home and the Hurricanes on an upward trajectory really helps and makes players want to hang around so credit to the Canes on that.
What is the contract situation with Rayasi? So much talent but just not getting enough time behind Naholo and Moorby. Possibly looking elsewhere or even off shore?
