“Any chance I get, I want to play 10. I grew up playing 10 and my dad (Matene Love) who was my coach played a lot there and my uncle (Danny Love) played a lot there. Growing up they showed me the skills side of things.”Query: maybe my memory is wonky, I thought on here I read Love was offered 10 or 15 at the Canes and he preferred the 15 jersey?

hmm if Godrey wants to be 10 as well:

""I always would like to be at 10. I enjoyed my time at fullback. They're slightly different, but more of the same. A bit more space at fullback, but you get a bit more touches on the ball at the first receiver." -

Ngane Punivai
Imagine how slow he'll be at 28 ...
It's a bit harsh on him. He isn't a speedster and will never be but he has been playing very well lately. I can understand why he is in the starting XV every week.

@cgrant yeah to be fair, he's definitely taken his game to another level since joining the canes and is playing a role very well. A poor man's James Lowe in a way (not meant in offence).
Funnily enough, ever since I had a beer with his granddad. I shouldn't be surprised.

Tosi signed until 2028.

@sparky great signing. Good tight-head props are a dime a dozen atm. So to have two locked in until at least 2027 is a good start. Locking in Lauaki as our third should be the next target, he’s young and will learn plenty from the likes of Lomax.

Do you guys have a list of players who are off contract at the end of the season?
I’ll pull it out for you shortly.

You can add in Vernon Bason who will be after a contract and James O’Reilly who played very well last year that will likely return from his long term injury.
The Canes will likely sign two of those four hookers so there will be two that will be surplus to requirements here.
Rakete-Stones will likely head overseas I feel if he doesn’t get a contract extension at the Canes. Under 20 prop (currently injured) in Logan Wallace will be someone that clubs will have an eye on also.

Got me there.

What about Mosese Bason? I wonder if some teams might make a play for both of the brothers?

We’ve lost Howden and with Tuifua now going to France I think the Canes will have M Bason locked down.

Didn't Vernon Bason go to the Blues?

Suppose it will just depend on how good he thinks he is and whether he believes he should be getting game time as soon as possible.
