I don’t like to see players injured but this might be a blessing to the Canes. We need an attacking first five and if it forces Love to go to ten then I’m happy with that. Harkin has looked really good for the Lions in the games he’s started so hopefully he gets picked up aswell.
-
So I’m thinking the three first fives the Canes will be looking at will be:
- Lincoln McClutchie
- Callum Harkin
- Lucas Cashmore

Someone mentioned in the Stuff comments that Lucas Cashmore is heading to the Canes. Anyone know of that rumour?

it could be true Cashmore or Grindley would have to drop out of the Blues squad to bring it down to 38.
if they both stay they have 18 backs and 21 forwards one to many. -

That’s almost all the Canes need when they’ve got Roigard at 9 calling a lot of the shots.

Wasn't Godfrey an age grade 10?
He was a 1st 5 at school but hasn't played there much since then.
He was the Hurricanes Under 20 first five and won the player of the tournament in that position. He also played three games at 10 last year for the Hurricanes Dev side, aswell as playing 10 for Petone at club rugby the last few years.
He also played very well in a pre season game at 10 outside Cam Roigard when the Canes bt the Crusaders last year.
He started at 10 for HB against Harbour earlier in the NPC and was a bit scratchy and never really got another opportunity because they opted for McClutchie.
I think if Godfrey can get more time in the 10 jersey he could develop into a good ten but he’s more in the Beaudy mould where he uses his pace to create rather than being a conductor so to speak.
-
@Canes4life I was referring to HB and the Hurricanes, where as you state, he has got minimal opportunities. If Godfrey is the choice they need to stick with him.

Agreed, and he’ll probably get some time at ten now Cameron is broken. Whether that be starting or off the bench. The Canes don’t need a spectacular 10 because of Roigard but I do think we need an attacking 10 and both Love/Godfrey fit that mould.
