. he aint happy with how Canes done his bro over,
Best thing that happened to Julian
His only poistion he has the speed for now is 2nd 5. Cnaes have better options here whereas for MP he was perfect
I'm actually surprised Ardie still thought his bro was up to it. Hope he never becomes a selector.
@Canes4life not meant coaches have to choose their brother, or not, Pro level. Pretty irrelevant

Hurricanes announce new attack coach, Brad Cooper. Son of ex Canes coach Colin and currently a part of the Under 20s setup over in South Africa. He was also in the coaching setup of the Taranaki side that won the NPC last year.
-
Moorby and Sangster officially out the door.

The noise I’m hearing about Savea not being at the Canes next year is getting louder.
the only teams that could do with him are in the South Island. Unless Hoskins fucks off in a hissy fit

Ardie will be 30 next year. Sotutu if he stays around is a much better option at 8
Blues are well covered at 7 but Ardie is not really a 6
MP could be a better option if he wants a change. Othwerwise he will be best to stick with the Canes

@mariner4life Solid bench option for the Blues. Choat offers more on defence and at the ruck though.
-
You'd think if he goes anywhere, it'd be MP?
That'd be huge for them, certainly help attract others too.

Talk about a sensitive character if Savea moves because his brother was too shit to get a contract. The Hurricanes gave Julian a reprieve when he performed poorly for Toulon, the Savea’s should be thankful to the Canes for extending his super career when there were question marks about his performance back then. He probably played three years more than he should have for the Canes. Enough was enough but obviously Ardie can’t handle that. It’s business pal.

Based on that logic Reiko Ioane and the Barretts will be off quicksmart too !

This was a quote from Avan Lee a month ago - But Lee confirmed 30-year-old Savea will be back with the Hurricanes in 2025, amid reports one of the team’s iconic players was mulling over another season in Japan. “Ardie is back next year and he will just add to that (loose forward) group, which is exciting,” Lee told the Post.
Lee will have egg on his face if the best player in the world departs. That would be the second time he’s lost a World Player of the Year. He may aswell follow Ardie out the door in my view.

To be honest, what I've heard is that he wants to preserve his body for the next world cup, and at the Blues he'll get another sabbatical, and plenty of rest weeks, and be able to come off the bench in a lot of games. He also wants to take his brand to the next level, and will have more freedom to take promotional opportunities and apparel contracts there.

This is why we need transfer fees in rugby. Imagine how much the Blues would owe the Hurricanes for going after Beaudy and now Savea (potentially).
If what you’re saying is true then fair play to him but I never want to see the guy in a Canes jersey again if he moves for those reasons, what a cop out. He can preserve his body at the Canes quite easily with all the loose forward talent we have, and we have better facilities than the Blues now so when I come to think of it that doesn’t make much sense. On his brand, surely if he needs to he can take the odd trip up to Auckland, seems like an odd reason to join a rival, but hey I’ve seen stranger things come to fruition.
I can’t see him moving tbh. Will be interesting to know where all these rumours are coming from. Nothing in the media at all.
