    Didn't we sign West from the blues to back up BB? Does that mean Garden Bachop will be third string?

    .West signed in a swap with Black. And no based on NPC form. GB has so far been very good. With the right development and coaching he could be right up there with the best in NZ. Hes currently not the fastest 1st around and this is one area where work is needed

    @winger I wonder if the Blues will ask for West back now that Black is gone for the season, or if that's even possible

      @canefan not possible. Both were free agents who happened to swap teams, it wasnt a trade.

        @kiwimurph Good for us then, not so much for the Blues. West has shown flashes but I don't think he was helped by the Blues system. He could be a good backup and late game sub for us, his try vs the Lions showed great gas

          @canefan West is an excellent bench option with his pace and eye for a gap when the game breaks up. He made a few appearances off the bench for the Blues this year and he was electric - I think that is his best spot. He's not as well suited to start at 10. He just doesnt have the all around game/feel. Potentially Garden-Bachop is better suited to start at 10 for the Canes if BB is injured/rested. As a Blues fan i'm just hoping Perofeta gets an injury free run and a real crack at the 10 shirt - with Black out he has a real chance to make it his own.

            I’ve read through the whole thread and don’t see any predictions of future ABs from Canes4Life. Disappointing.

            Looks a settled squad for the Canes with the starting XV almost picking itself. A couple of question marks around the locks and whether Goosen will get more starts than Bus.

              I just don't think he's heard of Jonah Lowe or Hugh Renton (despite him being a 2 year Canes squad member) yet otherwise all bets would be off ;).

                      C4L last logged in on Sept 4 last year. That doesn't mean that they do not still read the Fern of course (although probably not), just that they no longer post.

                                      Getting close to the time the squad will be made public (in the next five or ten minutes?). Make sure your pencil is sharp and ready to go Starazer, we are all sitting here waiting for you to let us know who is in and who is out, the suspense is killing me!
