@bobily2 so with Harrison Allan and Brett Cameron signing with the Turbos, I wonder if this means they are likely to sign for the Canes next year...
I hope so

@chris are they highly rated in Canterbury? or are you saying I hope so because you no longer want them in Chch?

Quite happy to see them go there is enough depth at LH prop and Allan has been injured a lot
Cameron is ok but Burke has more to offer and I would like to see him given an extended run for Canterbury at First Five and maybe Ollie Lewis although he’s Is only 19 he has more ability .
I believe the Crusaders will not resign Cameron so maybe Lewis gets some game time for Canterbury for the future. -

So I'm likely being quite harsh here... but from what I've seen JGB sometimes plays well. So I'd prefer him.
(To be fair to him, Brett Cameron did have a good Mitre 10 Cup a couple seasons back).

Probably mate he is improving but he’s a journey man

@chris Cameron made a difference to the Canterbury side when he started in the last 2 games of the season against Ta$man and Auckland which saved them from relegation.
He's not amazing but cops a lot of unnecessary criticism at times. He's certainly NPC standard and would benefit with a decent run at the Canes if he goes there.

I think Canterbury need to develop some other First Five options so a move for Cameron to the Canes may work out for everyone.

Yea, I don't think he'd get half the criticism if he hadn't been picked for the ABs. The selectors really screwed him over, in a way, as there was no way he had the ability to match people's expectations once that occurred.

@bobily2 You're right he wouldn't. Yes he probably shouldn't have gotten an ABs test, but the kid has a bit to offer. Right now, he's better than Fergus Burke as was shown for Canterbury last year.

Crusaders have decided Burke is the one to bring on hence he’s been in 23 every game so far
Burke will come on very well he will end up a lot better than Cameron. -

There could be a possible move to Northland for Auckland and All Black prop Ofa Tuangafasi..my understanding Tuangafasi is looking to relocate his Whanau up to Northland primarily as lifestyle choice ..whilst I doubt he would never see much game for the Cambridge Blues ..it’s just sends a really good message , that Northland is a viable option , not to mention a decent All Black payout for the Taniwha ..
His brother Isi spent a season up North back in either 2017 or 2018 as I recall .

@steven-harris was 2018/2019 wasnt it then off to the Ta$man Foreign Legion :fishing_pole:
From what I have heard, the HP centre almost completed is getting plenty of people looking north for options, making the final last year no doubt helped too (even if it papered over a few mid-season cracks)

I think Carters should have a go.
They have just cut off supply to M10 and ITM as previous sponsors so they are eliminating the competition quite nicely.

I’ve seen a lot of comment from people being annoyed an Aussie company was sponsoring the comp...obviously no idea mitre 10 is Australian too
