I wonder why the Canes?
Because he's based in the Canes region and has ambitions of being a Hurricane. Just a thought.
(Greater) Wellington? That could piss off French history buffs!

I have updated the squad list at the top of this thread to include Perofeta and Tuifua who are rumoured to be on there way to the Canes.

You can add Ere Enari to the list

Ouch. One of the slowest passing halfbacks in the country.

You’re fking kidding.

Oh good, he's gone from Moana then.
Don't worry Canes fans, he'll only be 3rd choice.

Over Preston? WTF

@foobaNZ said in Hurricanes 2025:
I'd think if we've got Enari it was because we couldn't get Preston. I'd hope so anyway!
Surely there’s better halfbacks than Enari floating around.

@Canes4life Is Jordie Viljoen is still in the Canes mix for 2023 ?

Yeah if you look at the top of the thread it’s got everyone that has signed and how long for. He’s signed through until end of 2026.

I wonder why only for 2025, you’d think he’d push for longer.
Good signing, he can also play wing and is only 22.
Now we just need to lock in Callum Harkin.
-
Yea Harkin is the next must sign, and it'd be nice to have the Perofeta signing confirmed officially too. Would be disappointing if that didn't turn out to be true.

If we had all of Perofeta, Harkin, Love and Godfrey as 10 options I’d be pretty stoked with that.

With the Super squad announcements apparently taking place next week, the Canes squad pretty much looks like the below at this stage, rumours included.
Props: Mafileo, Tosi, Lomax, Numia, Rakete-Stones, Lauaki
Hookers: Aumua, Devery/Tuputupu/O'Reilly/Bason
Locks: Gallagher, Walker-Leawere, Delany, Allen, Tucker/Plummer
Loose forwards: Lakai, Flanders, Iose, Kirifi, Shields, Tuifua
Halfbacks: Roigard, Vijoen, Enari
First Fives: Perofeta, Godfrey
Midfielders: Higgins, Proctor, Umaga-Jensen
Utility: Sullivan, Fineanganofo, Punivai
Outside Backs: Love, Naholo, Banks, Clarke, SinkinsonIf the above squad is accurate, we still need to sign 2 hookers, 1 loose forward and 1 first five.
Tuputupu, Devery and O’Reilly are the front runners for the remaining two hooking spots.
Cooper Flanders could get that last loose forward spot as he can play 7/8 and had a pretty handy NPC, other options could be Ropeti but I think the Canes need a third 7.
Not sure where the 5th midfielder will come from. Thought it may have been Kyle Brown from the Manawatu but he’s just signed for the MLR.
I’ve got my fingers crossed Callum Harkin gets that 3rd 10 jersey.

@Canes4life I thought the Perofeta rumors had been quashed?
