@Winger that's surprising considering about a month ago he was keen to sign on. Oh well, there's plenty of talent in NZ to pick from.

He's played well but I'm happy he's going. Someone local can try to step up

The return of Da Bus?

I'm guessing the Canes will pick him up
He's been training with Ponsonby but not playing. He got offered an Auckland contract but turned it down. I presume that's because the risk of an injury ruining a much more valuable SR contract
From his social media it looks like he's living in Takapuna

@Darren I hope they shift Aso back to his best position of right-wing and continue to develop Peter Umaga Jensen at centre next year. Then I think we should bring Toala into the reserves, he's the next best cab off the rank IMO and has the ability to cover multiple positions.
I think Rayasi is probably favoured to take Ben Lam's 11 jersey next year (unless he commits to the Sevens). Rayasi probably hasn't had as much game time because he committed to Sevens this year, and Lam is the incumbent.
My backline for 2021 atm is: 9. Perenara 10. ? 11. Rayasi 12. Laumape 13. Umaga Jensen 14. Aso 15. Barrett 21. Booth 22. ? 23. Toala
Where does it state Kobus isn't returning?
-
@Canes4life 10. ? where did this guy come from?
In all seriousness I wonder if they will re sign both Smith and JGB for next year? -
@Stargazer he should be a given that’s why I haven’t included him should chase fakatava aswell once his Highlanders contracts up. FYI I’m from Wellington not HB
-
@Stargazer just to piss you off they will sign someone like Ruben Love or Aiden Morgan, or even better TJ Va'a again.

Which one is currently the starting first five for their Premier Reserves?

@Higgins Va'a has come back from Australia and seems to have taken the reigns in the last two weeks. Suprising they haven't used Love at Fullback, or is he injured?

That's good to read. He had a tough run with injuries so good he back on the field.

@Canes4life the club hasn’t released any info if he is or not, but like you said Va’a has started the last 3 weeks so I’m wondering if Love is injured because he’s not in either the reserves or the grade under it.
-
Yeah he is too good of a player to be dropped to the reserves. I've heard Love has been impressing at the academy so hopefully, he gets a good shot with Wellington this year. He definitely looks like the most athletic out of all the options within the Hurricanes region and that could play in his favour come selection down the track.

@Canes4life how long is PUJ signed for? He has been attracting interest further north!

@Nogusta the Canes will be keen to keep him.
On a side note it's good to see Kane Le'aupepe making his return for Jville this weekend in club footy. Hopefully he makes a return for the Canes after the bye. Does anyone know if he's playing for BOP this year?
-
@Canes4life He impressed the two and only games he has played for Wainui, I can also confirm he’s a no show this weekend TJ Va’a is starting at 10
@mikey07 must be injured then.
-
@mikey07 Straight from the source (the Hurricanes' media release from 14 August 2019, including grammatical error):
Proven try scorer Wes Goosen has signed on until at least the 2022 Investec Super Rugby season while Peter Umaga-Jensen have signed on for 2020.
