    Have updated the squad above. Highly like Jone Rova will be his replacement.

    Offers on the table for both Naholo and Rova

    Munster fan here- hard luck on the weekend against Brumbies

    There’s talk that Brad Mayo will be coming over to be our head of S&C, have you guys heard anything ?

    Yes this is correct. He is departing the Canes.

    Cheers, what’s he like. Do you guys rate him ?

    Is Jamie Mackintosh signed up for next year, Munster/Clayton also due to appoint a forwards coach.

    Great news. Keeping Naholo would be awesome. Fehi had a pretty decent first year. Good to have depth on the left wing. Hopefully Naholo signs.

    @canefan The Hurricanes are owned by the Wellington Rugby Football Union (50%), the offshore investors Y11 Sport & Media Group (34.38%), Coastlands chief executive Richard Mansell (12.5%) and Horowhenua Kapiti Rugby Football Union (3.12%)

    They were bleeding money like there was no tomorrow and being cash strapped themselves the WRFU might not have had any other choice

    Wellington have also shifted all their games for this year to Porirua park which is interesting. The price point for tickets is still far too high at around $24. Should be $15 max in my view.

    Kini Naholo has chosen to extend with the Hurricanes. I’m being told a 2 year deal through 2027.

    Amazing news. 2026 is definitely the best chance the Canes will have at winning the comp in probably 10 years. The biggest issue for them will be ensuring players remain fit.

    Have updated above.

    I feel like the Canes need another 7 in that loose forward unit. I know Sione Halalilo trained with the Canes all year so hopefully he sees a bit more gametime for Wellington in the NPC. He's another dynamic 7 in the mould of Lasaga, Savea, Lakai etc.

    In terms of hooker and after watching Tuputupu completely botch it against the Brumbies, I'd prefer we re-sign James O'Reilly who was really good for the Canes in 2024 when Aumua was out.

    They should have brought HBRU onboard to manage the finances - surely they'd want the experience of over 20 years of profits to rescue their bumbling organisation.

    The oil continues.

    A 1 year offer is on the table for Pouri Rakete-Stones. The offer I stated about Rova yesterday is a 2 year offer.

    Oh wow, I used to live in walking distance, bit further now.
    Thats a pretty solid decision to keep costs down.

    @Canes4life Interesting that he was only 1 year into a 2 year contract with MHR. 16 matches, 10 at Fullback, 2 wing and 4 off the bench, 2 tries.

    The Canes need to sign wingers as well so hopefully he comes back.
