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.
Keep them coming mate.

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.
Oh wow, I used to live in walking distance, bit further now.
Thats a pretty solid decision to keep costs down. -
Josh Moorby is leaving Montpellier. Nothing on where he is going but could he be returning to the Canes?

Would be great to get Josh back.

@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.

Callum Harkin puts pen to paper.

@frugby
Correct has an Irish passport - from what I understand he was a halfback at Stream and because he was a year ahead of himself at school he went to Ulster for like a gap year and made Ulster U19’s. Turned down an Academy contract there. Came back made a Wgtn XV played against NZU20’s and Ricki Flutey converted him to 10 for Wgtn U19’s.
Scored a try for the Canes against the Saders in a preseason match back in Feb 2019 but broke his leg in the process. Could have found himself playing professional rugby sooner but he has won Jubilee Cups in 2020 and 2024 and has played over 75 Prem club rugby games in Wgtn at 9, 10, 12, and 15.
He has a body of work behind him -
@nostrildamus Wouldn’t want to lose a player of his calibre to the Irish when they seem to have some problems at 10 at the moment

I was reading somewhere that Higgins is also Welsh eligible. Who'd want to play for them though.

Could he (in a super pinch) cover HB at NPC / Super level? A 9/10/15 cover player could be gold for a 6/2 bench.
Funnily enough, he has played 9 before so he could be the perfect bench option.

That's what the post above said - has he played there at Super level yet?

Oh right, I remember him getting injured in a pre-season game in Levin playing halfback for the Canes.
