@cgrant which Higgins are you talking about, Riley or Kienan?
I agree if you're talking about Riley. Both him and Godfrey look to have big futures, both look like very capable footballers. Don't think they will get contracts just yet though as they haven't featured in the NPC but hopefully we see them in the development team.
I was talking about Riley. I forgot about Kienan.

@canes4life Yeah same didn’t let the jersey down last time he played for us to try keep Campbell if possible.
-
@canes4life Yeah agree and as much as I like Booth and his explosiveness he is too injury prone, would much rather they kept Campbell, I’m glad they let JT go he offered nothing not even a crisp pass.

@mikey07 @Stargazer Given he is originally out of Napier BHS that generally means he will get little or no game time behind teachers pet B Proctor and someone that J Holland will undoubtedly pluck from obscurity out of the Wellington Schools Competition. PUJ might move up the pecking order somewhat but won't hold my breath on that one either.

Good thing is we only have 2 more seasons to wait til his contract gets renewed for another 5 years

Yay another mediocre player to add to the list. Can’t we sign his brother.

Hurricanes media release about the Sullivan signing: https://www.hurricanes.co.nz/news/article/bailyn-sullivan-signs-with-the-hurricanes-for-2022/
If there's room in next year's Magpies squad, I hope he'll come home for the NPC.

@stargazer maybe it is the camera angle but I'm surprised Franks ankles aren't thicker..

I don’t know why James Blackwell gets such a hard time on this forum.., sure he’s not the biggest lock you would ever see but the guy has some engine and from what I have heard ticks all the required training boxes .
You can’t do anything about the body you were born with when it comes to height .
I have seen some locks that are well over 1.98 and have nowhere near the work rate as Blackwell, I suspect if he was playing in the Crusaders nobody would notice his height. -
@steven-harris he gets a rough deal, oddly enough it's mostly from canes fans. Most of the good stuff he does is pretty easy to ignore, so I guess you're left only seeing the clangers.

Because that’s the reason why Cane’s fans are down on him. He’s certainly a hard worker and I’m sure he trains the house down, but he just doesn’t have a big enough body for the position in which he plays.
As you said, you can’t do anything about the body you were born into.
