Hurricanes 2021

@Nepia I have no reason to rate Ili, in fact I don’t really care as I’m not an HB supporter. From what I’ve seen though Ili has been in fine form. Better than some of my so called precious Wellingtonioans infact.
Lowe being the best back in Hawkes Bay as you both say is no mean feet anyway. In fact it’s a cripple fight looking at that backline. You have someone who’s nearly 40 playing fullback, you have a washed up Blues wing playing 14, you have two kids in the halves. If Lowe wasn’t the best back in the Bay then I would be seriously worried.
When you compare Lowe to other players in NZ though he’s very underwhelming.

Oh, so you're just on the troll, don't waste your money on that popcorn @MN5

Solid signing, hopefully he can get back to his best.

ideas on who you'll get in? dont know if Kayne Hammington is still with us next year, wellington boy etc and he might struggle for game time behind fakatava, assuming we see him as the future

@Kiwiwomble And behind Jamie Booth as well as he was behind him when they were both at Manawatu.
@Higgins forgot about booth, probably bring through someone young and local then

TJ Perenara has confirmed on the Hurricanes Instagram that he will be off to Japan on a short term contract next year and will miss Super Rugby Aotearoa.

Id like to see some more of Collins. Would need to bulk but he looked class in his last stint (v NH). maybe he's a possibility as the third HB

@Winger Jerry Collins would be a nightmare for opposing halfbacks. Sadly we will never get to see that spectacle.

@Kiwiwomble not too sure, Booth will be the obvious starter. Has Fakatava re-signed? He could be an option if the Canes can lure him away from Dunners.
I also really like what I saw from Connor Collins vs Harbour the other day, he has a good pass and a sound boot on him.
Other options are Roe if the Chiefs haven’t already locked him in.
Maybe one of the Crusader halfbacks could use this as an opportunity to push for a starting berth. Enari surely can’t be happy sitting behind Hall and Drummond.
Knowing the Canes though they will probably opt for Hauiti-Parapara who has been underwhelming but seems to be loved by the coaches.

Surely not (but after Blackwell anything is possible)

The Hurricanes already have Jamie Booth and Jonathan Taumateine for 2021. I only want Fakatava to move to the Canes if he makes a decent chance of game time, which he didn't get at the Highlanders this year. I don't know whether Hammington is still under contract at the Landers. Hammington moving to the Canes might be best for Fakatava if he stays at the Highlanders. Moving to the Canes will only be good for Fakatava if he can leapfrog who are already there (which may also be best for the Canes). With this coaching group, I can't see that happening.
