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.

@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 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. -

What did everyone else make of the booing? Think this is a little bit sensative of Beauden. It came across as friendly fire from his old fans. Nothing more, nothing less.

@Canes4life To me, it seems he underestimates how betrayed some fans feel when one of their best and favourite players moves to another NZ franchise. It's almost like committing treason. Personally, I don't like booing, but I can understand it in this situation.

I think that if you don’t like the booing, you’re a bit precious after telling the fans that you grew up dreaming about playing for the Canes. Perhaps since you were the player that brought them to the promised land, they might be a bit pissed about you leaving?

I had assumed he would have found it funny, as it seemed to be panto booing rather than with malice.

Living up here has made him soft....

I prefer players that have some loyalty to a team that's been good for them. Like Carter living in Auckland was to the Crusaders (until basically his career is finished)
Or Coles is to the Canes. Even Nonu returned when he could. Smith is another one. Great players where the team is important. Not just a vehicle to earn a living. Where a player will happily move to an opponent as its a little more convenientSo if he doesn't like the booing tough luck (its even worse that he moans about it). And what he should focus on is playing well

We didn't boo Lomu when he left the Blues. Cane fans are just horrible human beings.
I blame this guy
