@stargazer IWL conspicuously missing. They must be waiting for the next schoolboy superstar that mysteriously turns up in Wgtn club rugby.

@higgins I like what you did there. I'm pretty confident IWL will sign up but who knows.

@stargazer that's true. I've updated the list above.
-
@higgins Yeah, haha, although a lot of players are still missing.
Also, not all signings are published. If they were, especially Chiefs and Highlanders fans should be worried.
@stargazer Hurricanes fans are worried too, but that is because of who is on the list not who isn't! Oh except for JGB of course.
-
@bovidae he may ask for a release. He's too talented to be sitting out every week. He would push for a starting role at any other franchise in world rugby, apart from the Crusaders.

@higgins James Blackwell is a god.

Sir Pinetree, Richie and Dan are in that category (and Beaver for a very brief period). J Blackwell would rank about choir boy status.

@higgins no Ardie yet. Hoping the big three of Ardie, Perenara and Barrett confirm their stay. But all of them leaving can't be ruled out either with the league rumours and the 'Jordie to the Blues' rumour.
A recent article suggested the Canes had signed up 28 players for 2022. With no media release actually citing who those players are.
@canes4life how good w that be though! JB rumour wouldnt make sense they have full stocks and also RTS
-
@higgins nah I've got Blackwell higher than McCaw and Carter.
@canes4life higher? Well I guess Blackwell is a whisker or two taller than McCaw.

@canes4life "James Blackwell is a god."

How dare you put Blackwell in the same category as Them mere mortals...

I can see both JGB and Hickey getting new contracts that’s just how stupid these coaches are

@mikey07 how can you not? He’s a pure specimen of a man, the most complete lock you would ever see.
-
@canes4life Did you watch the Breakdown, yesterday?
@stargazer haha nah, was he on there? seriously I wish we booted the lad, he’s not good enough.
Hopefully the JB rumoured to go to the Blues is James Blackwell not Jordie Barrett.
