Hurricanes 2020
-
The already confirmed signing of Murphy Taramai is probably a hint that TBN will not be a Hurricane in 2020
-
I apologise for this comment which will get me roasted but HB supporters what does Flanders offer I haven’t seen him play so was wondering.
-
Well it looks like Taramai has just broken something so his year at the Canes might have finished before it has even begun.
-
@Higgins it really depends whether or not Flanders is on their books. Otherwise there is still room.
Complete botch up by the Canes once again if they don’t sign him.

Botch up or deliberate, Plum seems to be of the Bitchell and Hammettuer mould of pretending you don't need players with flair to win matches.

Think Reed Prinslip - but then add talent on top of that.

@Nepia so not in the mould of say BTN or Ioane more a Read or shields sort of player?
Yep more of a Read type player, not a blockbuster but still decent with the ball in hand.

Loose forward signings so far:
- Savea
- Evans
- Taramai
- Fifita
- Prinsep
- Kirifi
Probably have one or two spots available, therefore there is still room for either Ben-Nicholas and Flanders.

Someone get on the hotline and tell Plumtree not to fuck this one up, pick BNT!!!
-
I've seen people call him BTN and BNT. Isn't his name Teariki Ben-Nicholas? Meaning it'd be TBN?

@stargazer @canefan Heiden Bedwell-Curtis rejoined the Canes last season. Normally contracts are for a two year duration so we must await the ruling from Stargazer as to whether he still remains on the Canes payroll. Presumably Taramai must have replaced either him or Sam Henwood, there might simply not be room on the roster to accommodate TBN.

Flanders already holds a Hurricanes contract for a three year duration according to this article which appears to be from sometime in 2018

Heiden Bedwell-Curtis' contract duration was never published, so we don't know whether the Canes only signed him for one year (2019), of for more. It's very well possible that he'll return to the Canes in 2020.
Flanders was signed by the Canes in 2018 for three seasons, but the details - how many years on a development contract, how many on a full contract - has never been officially confirmed by the Canes. I understand it was one year development contract (2019) and two years full contract (2020-2021), but we can only be sure if he appears on the Canes squad list for 2020.
If both Bedwell-Curtis and Flanders are in the 2020 Hurricanes squad, and they opt for the same number of loosies as the 2019 season, there won't be any room for Teariki Ben-Nicholas.
