Hurricanes 2025

This funny comment from a Canes fan on the Blues Facebook re: the Banks signing -

"Fair swap. You guys are still paying off your Beauden Barrett debt to us so we’ll take this as another instalment "

So big rumours that Perofeta has penned a contract with the Canes next year.

Not a bad first XV shaping up (give or take a few contestable positions)

1. Numia
2. Aumua
3. Lomax
4. Gallagher
5. Walker-Leawere
6. Delany
7. Lakai
8. Iose
9. Roigard
10. Perofeta
11. Naholo
12. Higgins
13. Proctor
14. Banks
15. Love

Let's see if Perofeta can be the real deal. Smart move on his part

Wow that’s big news I dont blame him moving if true.

[Darren]

Well didn't see that coming.
Would be great if its true.
I don't think they have signed up Harkin? I hope he gets a contract to see what he can do.

Comp-winning team. So if they don't win it next season, then there's little more than wind coming out of the capital.

A source in the ‘Canes doesn’t believe the Perofeta yarn is accurate but we’ll see.

The CEO said the other day they were finalising a contract with someone so I guess we just have to wait and see.

It would make sense though; Perofeta has to fight for the position with Plummer in Auckland. The way is clear for him to walk in and claim first shot in Wellington, with a team that is near on as good or close as the Blues, wlth a superior halfback to feed off

[zedsdeadbaby]

Agree - definitely makes sense, Blues are stacked there - Barrett, Plummer, Perofeta and Z Sullivan can all play 10 in theory and most can play 15 too.

Unlike playing for the Crusaders, he's not going to advance his claims for the ABs by sitting on the bench...

@Canes4life Not McClutchie is it?

Hope not, after watching him closely the other, he's not up to it.

[Trig]

Have heard murmurs of Riley Hohepa to the canes. Not sure how reliable this is but he is a possible option that hasn't had much mentioned yet.

[mikey07]

@Trig No thanks been there done that

[foobaNZ]

Hohepa would be a terrible signing. I think I mentioned him earlier. Exactly the type of mid tier player we don't need.

Ew, what the f are the Canes thinking. The Crusaders did that last year and he was horrible for them. No thanks.

[george33]

@Daffy-Jaffy what do we make of that story? Perhaps Perofeta is not Hurricane bound or the coach isn't prepared to say anything yet.

[Bovidae]

Laidlaw is either a good poker player or the Perofeta rumour isn't true. He does say that the squad will include a new 1st 5.
