I’m expecting a Higgins leaving announcement any week now.

Just spoken to a contact. He has confirmed Higgins definitely isn’t injured and won’t be on the injured list the Canes put out. I’m working to find out if there is more to the story or if it’s just a case of Rova being fit and training better. Something is definitely a bit fishy from the outside looking in

Higgins has proven how good he is and would have started all of last year if it wasn’t for a broken leg. Now he can’t get a look in, it’s so frustrating.

He got about 10 mins against the Force.

Is Laidlaw just a moron when it comes to selection or does he just not like Higgins?

Which Kiwi team is going to nab Higgins? The Blues to replace Lam seems most likely.

Landers will be after him as well as a centre. No doubt the Crusaders will also be sniffing around.

Back to the game anyway, can’t really see the Canes dropping this game, the starting 15 looks A1, especially with Lomax back.

Is that the Reds third string halves combo?

I know Kalani Thomas has been in Wallaby squads but I would say Werchon is a better 9. He's been impressive

Agreed on 10 though. Shame that Carter Gordon is injured this week.

They do need to replace Ennor and McLeod,
Cooper Roberts has signed , Still a gap there.

Who’s the other young gun down your way? Tony Bell is it? Has he signed?

Yeah he’s probably been the form Aussie 10 and one of the form 10s in the comp. I’m glad he’s out haha

Yes he Toby Bell has signed, Cooper Roberts who has signed is the one with big Wraps on him.

@Canes4life I worry that Higgins is off to the NH probably Scotland. He is off contract this year and hasn’t re-signed with the Canes.

@SecFid can either Tuipulotu or Jones play in the outside backs? 1 of them would be made too

Did you end up digging any info up on this?

Riley Higgins doesn't leave, he gives the place he was permission to remain.

Harry Godfrey doing sprints with Harkin and Punivai on the sideline atm. Looking at Godfrey, he definitely looks like he’ll be back this season. Looks in great nick.

Lomax withdrawn due to injury, Mafileo to start.

I'll feel a lot better if the Hurricanes beat the Reds by 50.

Cheers Roigard

Nice try. Great continuity again.

And a quality reply. Good injection from the QLD fullback.
