Hurricanes 2026

@DurryMexted Well luckily we don’t have much in terms of players for the Canes to pick from. Wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they picked up Tom Maivava. Definitely think there are better outside back options in the catchment area though.
-
@Canes4life I rate Mcclutchie, in everything except kicking distance. The bay backline works really well pairing him with Sullivan's massive boot from fullback. Canes could do that with Jordie.

It's a good point. Maybe McClutchie can go ok with JB there?

I definitely wouldn't be too displeased at McClutchie coming in for Godfrey. He's an upgrade from Hohepa from last season IMO.

So apparently Cashmore is the guy to replace Godfrey.
-
@Canes4life Though that might’ve been the case as he was here this year let’s hope he can stay injury free.
-
I like cashmore! Think he is a talent when he can get a run of games
-
Big brother NZR set to take an oversight position with the Canes. Picking up an ownership stake.

@Canes4life Missed responding to this. I am surprised that Cashmore didnt try to sure up a spot at chiefs or blues, given he is really just signing up for a year.
I have a feeling that Godfrey's inbox will be getting some offers towards the end of this year. Wonder if hes looked as a replacement at the chiefs for Jacomb, or Blues for Perofeta. And if that happens Canes will panic and extend Cameron well beyond his use by date. So it is good to have Cashmore as a keen young 10.

Developer Malcolm Gillies is also looking to take some or all of Wellington Rugby’s 50% stake in the Canes after WR’s balance sheet issues of recent years.
