@canes4life jog my memory..who is Mitchell..?
Liam Mitchell (Manawatu lock/loosie), already signed by the Canes.
-
@stargazer didnt he play loosie when they played up here on Friday, if it is him, he is a big unit
edit; just looked, he did play 6 against us.
-
@taniwharugby got smashed a few times being too upright ,but looks a good athlete
-
@taniwharugby yeah, I don't know what Manawatu are doing there. Mitchell is playing 6 at 2.00ms tall and Crosswell at 4cm shorter, is starting at lock.
I know Mitchell is fairly light, so will need bulking up in the Super offseason.

@canes4life Is Cridge still contracted to the Canes?
Yes, Cridge was under contract to the Canes for 2018.
He's basically needing a good 2018 Mitre Cup to get a renewal for 2019.
Although, they could just keep him on contract knowing what he can do when not injured ...
He is always injured so nobody knows what he can do when not injured. Anyway James Blackwell is from Wellington, need I say any more on who is likely to be the most likely to be awarded a contract?
-
@canes4life Cane fans should be happy if they get Whetton this late in the year. He's the 2nd best lock in the Mitre 10 Cup this year, just behind Romano.
-
@dice to be fair I haven't watched too much of Whetton. Is he big enough to be a dominant Super lock?

He is 198cm and a huge unit with it.

@kirwan So pretty much Fatialofa mark 2.

Yeah, and would be ironic if we lost two good locks to the Canes. Or absolutely depressing.
