    @Canes4life Love your work and passion for your team. Their time will come. I wonder if Bailyn would be interested in playing with his brother if the Blues targeted him to cover Riko's sabbatical or to replace Heem if he retires next season?
    Good to see IWL finally starting to look like the player that I saw at u20 level and thought might be the next big thing (only taken him 7 years).

    @Daffy-Jaffy I can't see Sullivan moving, the Canes have supported him through two major injuries so I think he'll want to repay the favour and have a big season in 2025. You never know though, recruitment can be a funny thing at times.

    Yeah quite a few players took strides this year in their play. A bit like the Blues this year though, it will be all about harnessing their experience from this year and taking that into next year to be a more well-rounded team.

    I wonder if Ruben Love had chosen 10 rather than 15 that things might have worked out a little better for the Canes.
    10 is a more important position than 15 in the overall context of the game.

    @Canes4life I hope Baylin stays. I think the Blues will secure Xavi Taele first and they have others like Leo Gordan, Tito-Harris and King Maxwell to promote to fill backline gaps. Soloman would be the first young player that I would secure for the Canes. I not sure that the Blues will keep Cashmore, so he could be a fit for the Canes. With plenty of 10 cover due to Barret returning the Blues may want to use Cashmore's spot for an extra midfield player?

    Sullivan is very average. Team needs to move on from him.

    He is not really proven at 10. Even at NPC level.

    Do the hurricanes still play off for 3rd and 4th. Just asking for a friend.

    I don't think so. But they have a greater probability of playing in the 3rd place game than the Crusaders...

    If he played more there he’d definitely be a better option than Cameron. We need to start giving Godfrey time in the 10 jersey though. He’s got a higher ceiling than Cameron aswell.

    Agree. But I'd prefer both to see some game time in the NPC at 1st. But maybe unlikely if Love makes the ABs as a FB

    Yeah Godfrey definitely needs to play 10 in the NPC. Love will likely be in the ABs but who knows after last night.

    Our forward pack almost picks itself next year with Iose almost guaranteed to move out for Savea and become that impact player off the bench. The big question marks will be in the backs. Will Higgins be the guy to replace Barrett, who will start on the wings? Etc

    Based on the players we’ve signed/likely will sign I think we’ll kick off the year with the below 23. Pretty strong already even without new signings announced.

    1. Numia
    2. Aumua
    3. Lomax
    4. Delany
    5. Walker-Leawere
    6. Flanders
    7. Lakai
    8. Savea (c)
    9. Roigard
    10. Cameron (could be someone else)
    11. Rayasi
    12. Higgins
    13. Proctor
    14. Naholo
    15. Love
    16. Tuputupu
    17. Rakete-Stones
    18. Tosi
    19. Sangster
    20. Iose
    21. Perenara
    22. Godfrey
    23. Sullivan

    @Canes4life Even though Solomon has been playing on the wing at U20 level he is really a 1st 5/fullback. Quick and elusive but not very big.

    Yeah I think his position (if he makes Super) will be a wing. He’s definitely small but if he can put on a bit of size he could be good enough for that level. Definitely has enough pace and he has a solid kicking game.

    Worst thing was losing Roigard. He seemed to compensate for Cameron's weaknesses

    100% he made all the key decisions, whereas Perenara is too erratic to compensate for Cameron’s flaws.

    @Machpants I don't think the Canes will care too much what Bidwell has to say. One of the worst NZ rugby journos going around. They'll do their review of this season and I'm sure there will be plenty of work ons but with Roigard back next year and Savea coming back in, along with likely having a few more newly announced ABs, expectations on this side will be a lot higher than they were at the beginning of this year where they weren't really considered title contenders so to speak.

    The Canes shat the bed in that first 6 minutes of the game on Saturday, 6 minutes of rugby killed off their season but they were well off their stride before that. The week before, and the game against MP just showed we just weren't functioning at our best at the right end of the season.

    Sadly, though he's right. Laidlaw started off so well and then the coaches started f++king up

    It wasn't just this game either. Poor selections before this game (Moorby, Iose both lost form big time, dropping Flanders etc etc) and a stupid game plan for this game. And a team in the wrong head space.

    Laidlaw needs to reevaluate his approach. Otherwise, it will be another Colin Cooper period. Good but not good enough to ever win it all.

    I hope he can do it but it was so obvious what was going wrong and they also starting losing and didn't correct so I'm not too hopeful

    There seems to be a narrative on Cane's thread about Iose losing form. As a neutral I didn't notice too much difference throughout the season for him.
