Aaron Cruden
He mentioned this NPC being his absolute last season when I spoke to him after a game earlier this year.

My main concern is I don't want the Canes to pick some mid - late 20s ten, just because "experience"
Wasting a season with a Garden-Bachop, or Hohepa, or that type of player, is a much worse prospect than giving the spot/s to greener 10s.
What Canes4life is saying re: the team around him is really relevant too. If our 10 is a bit green, he isn't going to be surrounded by other green players. He's around a very stable core of players, with the best 9 in the comp feeding him ball.

@Dan54 Roigard is has had multiple NPC and Super campaigns, as well as AB caps, and, a World Cup cycle.
I feel like I'm talking to Jason Holland. Should we get JGB out of his Moana contract? Maybe see if Prinsep is keen to come back from the Force?
I understand not throwing a 10 right into the deep end, but, man, I really think you're being overly conservative. If the goal is to win a title you ain't gonna win it with mid tier players. What's the point?

@foobaNZ Genuinely no idea who is on the market, I suspect they may run Love there a bit, or even McLutchie (but think he's contracted to MLR) . I certainly not against Godfrey who looks good at times though generally at 15 at higher level.
Mate I just watched a season of Crusaders imploding and one of big probloems seemed to be no 10 that has the experience to run things when things went bad.I really hope one of the ones we have will be good !
Lol add to that mate, haven't really thought too much on super at this stage, I still into NPC and got at least one more game to go to at New Plymouth! -

My Two cents (for what it’s worth)
Think Brasch and Poplali’i from Counties would be good pick ups same with Banks from Harbour.
TJ Clarke deserves a contract and would’ve said the same with Preston had the Canes not shit the bed and let him go.Preston would be third at the Hurricanes behind Roigard and Vijoen. Maybe Preston thinks he has a better shot at getting infront of Drummond.

@Canes4life damn that's a good pick up for them. We'd have been very well served with Roigard, Viljeon and Preston. Guess we can't be too greedy.

As Bovidae mentioned above I’d be happy with Adam Lennox. I’m sure we’ll get a solid third halfback from somewhere.

probably already been said on here but i think Harkin is our guy moving foward
-
@BerhamporeNinja agreed - but he's not confirmed as signed though is he?
-
Great signing for the Hurricanes, Kade Banks locked up for 2025.
He's been a star of the NPC this year, he will slot onto the right wing nicely.
-
@Canes4life An excellent like for like replacement for Moorby. I suspected he was off somewhere as he did not appear on a list of resignings that were posted on Blues Facebook a while back.
