Hurricanes vs Chiefs

Yeah it's time to move Chase out tbh. He is okay but lacks gas to compete at the back and is often caught out on defence. Lam will come back in on the left for the next game and we will most likely field our best backline so far this season.
Was happy to see Aumua get through 60 odd minutes. He was solid and showed his true strength at times. Still doesn't look like the freak athlete that turned Bridge inside out a few years ago.

Jordie managed 200m, 2 tries, 2 assists, 2 clean breaks, 11 defenders beaten, and 3 offloads. So yeah not bad
Yeah he had a monster of a game. Really showcased the talents that got him into the ABs - he's a freak when on form.

Might be a little difficult given they have just signed him for another two more years.

I always see people on Facebook talking about how Laumape is so much better than ALB. So much shit co ALB is insane. Only he could be in a shit team and still stand out so well.
ALB is something else, has been easily the form centre this year. I'd lock ALB and Goodhue into the 23 now.
I think Laumape is more competing with the other power players - SBW/Nonu. All three have shown form this year so that's going to be a hell of a shit fight to get into the WC squad.

@Higgins they may not be the smartest signing
There have been a number of Hurricanes signings that you could file under the same statement. Maybe the finger might finally be pointed at the Recruitment and Development Manager. Some of the selections in the Hurricanes Development Team are puzzling as well.
-
@No-Quarter Fuuuuuck imagine ALB at 12 and Goodhue at 13 for the AB's.

@Bones
Jordie Barrett has been disappointing this season each time he was playing with the 15 jersey. He's more suited to the 2nd 5/8 position IMO.I only saw the first 20 or so minutes but this post is a cracker based on my viewing. Good call 😁

@Yeetyaah That may happen in the games against minnows, or if Crotty is injured.
There should be little debate that ALB is a superior player to Crotty, in both talent and form.
-
@mariner4life You're hilarious!
-
Yep. Be good to see ALB & Goodhue get some serious gametime together. Hansen and co. really need to sort the starting 12/13 combo.

It's quite simply true. Crotty has been a decent placeholder. When available. Good glue player. But ALB just has more talent, and is currently living up to it.
-
@mariner4life And I think you're simply wrong. Crotty is uncontested the best organiser of the defence in tight games. I wouldn't trust any other midfielder with that job in the big games.
He's way more than a decent placeholder. ALB is a good player, but not consistent enough.
-
@Stargazer not consistent enough? Seems to be stringing a huge number of quality games together. In all jerseys.
