Highlanders v Hurricanes

I'm so over Plumtree and his pathetic selections - we should be doing better but this idiot keeps picking the same players and expects different results.
- Blackwell tries hard but is too small for a lock - how many games will it take to sink into Plumtree's noggin?
- Prinsep really is ineffective at this level - they must have something against Ben Nicholas, surely he is a better no8 than Prinsep.
- Lam is horrible on defence and only looks good going forward - the Crusaders showed once again that Lam is useless when it comes to the crunch, average under the high ball and clueless when he is on the back foot.
These coaches are completely hopeless. Agree on all these points. But after the disaster last week Plumtree still felt the team was on the right track.
Its a shame really. Canes won the competition and instead of building on this they have thrown it out the window with poor conditioning of players (= injuries), poor recruitment, a poor attack coach etc. Last week it was like a well coached side against a side who had just been thrown together and weren't really interested in playing. It was a terrible performance. Re Jordie. He's not a wing. He wants to play 2nd of FB. Anyway life is what it is. Expecting wellington or the Canes to be consistently a top team is it seems not going to happen

No matter who we bring in as lock cover, Plumtree will still pick midget as lock.
-
Canes locks are to Plumbtree what Solomona Kata is Kearney.

If only we kept NAS. He looks like a massive unit for the Storm this year. Would have been perfect in the Canes and ironically played in the same 1st 15 as midget.

It's gotta be embarrassing when there's quite a few props out there who are taller than you.

@MN5 It's embarrassing enough that these coaches actually think he is a Super level lock. I feel like the media don't ask the hard questions enough. Can't believe no one has even pulled Plumtree up on this...

Like why Isiah Walker-Leaware keeps getting overlooked for players they bring in from outside the original squad. Has he done something to upset someone somewhere along the line?
-
@Higgins maybe they are easing him into Super Rugby? As he has only featured on the bench all season. Bullshit really considering we don't really have the luxury to do so.

Also weird considering Leu'eupepe is hardly experienced. It's the hard-on for the midget that is most bemusing from some one chasing a giant (mythical) Saffa.
