Canes vs Sharks

[Rembrandt]

<p>Savea's/Eves - young and stupid.</p>
<p>Vito - 'fuck it' I'm off anyway</p>
<p>But Jane? Shouldn't he as a senior guy who really needs to be playing his cards right to stay on the field be a better influence on these fellas?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good job dropping them, will be an interesting one against the reds, still picking a win</p>

<p>Not to mention if it turns out to be more than just a simple break of team protocols, although it appears it was as simple as a breach of team rules <strong>(although the night before a match)</strong></p>

<p>Jeez, Julian seems to really be wanting to give someone else a shot at that 11 jersey!</p>

<p>Article says it was the Tuesday night before the Sharks match.</p>

<p>The article says it was the Tuesday before the Sharks match. If it was the night before I'd hope for a heck of a lot worse punishment than one game</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>I obviously didn't read it properly...not like this is the first time Jane has been out before a game.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Could be a larger than usual crowd out at the Hutt Rec on Saturday to watch Hutt Old Boys play Oriental-Rongotai given the possibility of the Savea brothers being available for selection for the visiting team.</p>

<p>Jane obviously still needs Piri as his minder. </p>

[MajorRage]

<p>So it was Tuesday night, but they are dropped for this weeks match vs the Reds, not last week's vs the Sharks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A rather selective punishment.</p>

[bobily]

<p>They were on tour before, so wouldn't have had a lot of players to fill in, and it likely would have been quite disruptive trying to deal with the issue in the lead up to a big game. I think it makes sense that the punishment occurs this week.</p>

<p>Really stupid from Ardie, even I agree he had the inside running for the ABs spot.</p>

<p>Matt Todd will be happy to hear the news</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah - he's given Matt back the half-step he lost at the weekend - and possibly plenty more.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Doesn't sound like there was a whole lot to it, tbh. One week off is probably fair.</p>

There usually isn't much too it in the eye of a fan....<br><br>
Sounds like it was serious enough to warrant a game suspension to send a message to the rest of the group that this sort of behaviour won't go unpunished.
