Hurricanes 2021

@mikey07 going from the Crusaders thread I'm thinking it might be 38. If it's 35 then McClutchie, Delany and Rakete-Stones probably miss out.
-
@Canes4life Maybe it is 38 due to COVID I’d be happy we those 3 extras...I’m still I awe why we signed Simon Hickey.
@mikey07 yeah same, completely moronic from Ben Castle (who I understand is key to the player recruitment drive).

@Canes4life Same with Savea though that could be to try sway Ardie to resign
@mikey07 aslong as he doesn't play any minutes I'm happy.

Jordie Barrett -
@Canes4life Love is a 1st 5 so Holland might be happy to use him as the 3rd option and select another winger.
@Bovidae they've signed Love as a 'utility' so I'm thinking that may also open up a spot to develop another first five. I suppose we will find out on Dec 2/3

@Canes4life or James Tofa another midfield option.
@mikey07 probably don’t need him with Aso in there aswell. Would rather us develop Lincoln so when Hickey hopefully pisses off next year we have someone with experience in that position. (Even though it will be very limited experience)

I totally agree there’s always JGB remember
@mikey07 Aidan Morgan can take his spot.

@Canes4life Yeah for 2022

@Canes4life said in 2021 Hurricanes:

No offence to props out there I’m one myself why is he in charge of recruiting would explain picking up Prinseep and the extension of the extension of Blackwells contract

-
@mikey07 being a former Chief maybe he’s trying to sabotage the Canes. Seriously though between Prinsep, Blackwell, Hickey and the re-signing of Savea, the guy should be booted from the job.
@Canes4life hahaha I was going to mention that earlier but quite enjoyed watching the argument.
-
We could have had this fella!
-
In terms of height, that's 2 Blackwells, right?
-
Only signed for one season:

@Stargazer reading between the lines from what Holland had to say, it sounds like we will have access to Rayasi but there is still some negotiation to be had with NZ Sevens and his commitments to that campaign aswell.
