@Yeetyaah That's if Plumtree gives him a crack. Remember he still thinks Blackwell is a Super Rugby level lock.

Classic Canes, our timing is always off. I think we are still strong enough to reach Semis and above though, however that will only happen if we keep our main forwards fit i.e. Coles, Ardie, Lomax etc.

Not with JGB at the helm. Our only hope, if there is no major signing, is that the proposed JB at 10 experiment is a roaring success

They should give McClutchie a shot, was netter than Falcon last year and Falcon is a three year Super player (mostly injured). Invest in a young guy before he winds up at the Highlanders with Fakatava.

@Nepia Plumtree was in the stands at the Hawkes Bay vs Southland game.

I wonder who he was there to see that he hasn't already signed.

Marty McKenzie apparently.......

[Stargazer]

@Hooroo Geez, I hope not ...

I was hoping McClutchie and/or Rakete-Stones (at least).

[Canes4life]

@Hooroo is that just a guess or do you have a source? Please no.

@Hooroo if true, there goes our chances. Fletcher Smith is our only hope.

At least you would have heaps of money in the bank from Selling Barrett to Auckland

Yeah, oh Wait! It doesn't work like that!

[mikey07]

Did anybody else listen to Avan Lee on radio sport today he reckoned Barrett’s replacement was already at signing terms and that there is going to be some exciting signings “in the short while” I’m really curious as to who thes exciting signings are.

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 Yeah, I'm keen to find out as well. I hope they won't keep us in suspense for much longer. Mind you, they may have another idea of "exciting" than we have.

[Canes4life]

If they think Marty McKenzie is exciting then we could be in for a very disappointing season.

If it isn't a test quality 10 we are fawked. And that doesn't excite me

[Yeetyaah]

@Hooroo Holy shit pleeeease let this be true and take him off our hands.

[Darren]

Canes are really screwed, there really is no option right now for 10. Why not try out JB, no one is standing out so what is there to lose. I'd try him before using JGB.

[Stargazer]

@Darren I'd give Fletcher Smith a chance, first, before starting a JB experiment.

[mikey07]

@Darren I actually used to think he was good without being great but watching him against Canterbury, Counties and BOP he looks like he couldn’t steer a roller coaster. The Lions looked very rudderless so I’m very inclined to give the 10 jersey to Fletcher Smith and give him consistent games in it.
