@canes4life Have to be Booth you would think. I struggle to really find a lot uf upsides with Campbell, if you watch him when he playing his first instinct is always to go left, usually means his pass to right is a little laboured.

@canes4life sign of a great team culture there 🙄

Bring back the Hammer!

[KiwiMurph]

I really hope Canes play Jordie at 12 now that Laumape has gone.

[Toddy]

@kiwimurph Awesome news if true.

[Stargazer]

It's true:

Signed for 2022 only, by the way.

Jordie Barrett Confirmed for 2022

[mikey07]

@stargazer Wohoo who cares I’ll take it saves the problem of trying to find a fullback

[Nepia]

Awesome news - I was worried about the Chiefs rumours. 😉

[Canes4life]

Great news, now we just need Ardie to re-sign along with a few more decent recruits including another experienced prop, lock and first five, and we should be looking decent for 2022.

The leadership of the likes of Bird, Franks, Coles, Barrett, Savea (if he re-signs), Evans and Perenara will be invaluable next year.

Interesting read:

'Dodged a bullet': Julian Savea hits back at Toulon fan following club president's cryptic comments

Ex-All Blacks star Julian Savea has hit back at suggestions linking him to cryptic comments made by Toulon president Bernard Lemaitre.

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 fair play to Savea. He was poorly treated at Toulon and he has every right to offer Laumape a few insights into what sort of club Toulon was when he was playing there.

Mourad Boudjellal comes across as a bit of tugboat. It seems to me that he signed Savea based on Youtube highlight reels, without taking into consideration the form he was in when he signed for Toulon. Everyone in World Rugby knew that Savea was past his best but it seemed to be a huge surprise to Boudjellal. He also signed Milner-Skudder when he was struggling so he obviously doesn't keep up to date with footy in NZ.

A good podcast with Aiden Morgan on the Huddy Hui recently:

[sparky]

Hurricanes doing a great job of signing up All Blacks for 2022. And there are more to come....

[Canes4life]

@sparky do you know something we don't?

@machpants the suspense is killing me....are they old or new All Blacks?

Probably Brett Cameron.

[Stargazer]

@dice Or Piri Weepu lacing up the boots again.

[Canes4life]

@stargazer we do need a prop.

You forgot one of the awards: The coaches wank bank award went to James Blackwell.

Seriously though, Prinsep as player of the year? Should have been Jordie.
