Haven't opened the link yet but to me it's obviously Cullen, Collins, Umaga and C Smith

four dudes who never won shit in a yellow jersey

TJ Perenara has played 140 times for the Hurricanes, was a key part of the side, pisses blood for them, and actually won something.

I agree with your nomination but disagree that your last point should have any bearing on this selection.

So Cullen, Collins, Umaga and TJP for me. Smith, Coles, Ma'a, BB bubbling under.

Any rule that would leave Cullen out of the Hurricanes, or Kaino out of the Blues, is pretty harsh.

[Canes4life]

I would of had Beaudy in the top four of this list but because he’s a traitor I will go Cullen, Umaga, Smith & Coles 🙂

Perenara and Collins there or thereabouts aswell.

By the time he finishes his career I think Ardie will be in that top four.

[bayimports]

Cullen, Collins due their impact, not who has played the most games

Then it becomes tougher Im going Smith and Coles to round out my four with TJP, Maa, BB very close behind..tough to split a few.

Not top 4 but worth a mention for me, Preston (one of my favourites as a lad), Bull Allen & Hewitt

Bull is a good call, he was big in the early days of the Canes, lots of marketing based around him.

@nepia even the crowd saying Buuuuullllllllllllll every time he got the ball was great!

I always like Holwell. A humble hard working guy, wasn't world class but did all the basics well and had a hell of a kick n chase

[get stuffed]

Very difficult to only select 4... but I'll go for :
C. Cullen
D. Coles
C. Smith
M. Nonu

Totally agree... the bloke always gave it 100%

[Darren]

Cullen
Umaga
Collins
Weepu

That's just who springs to my mind when I think of the Canes
You would probably replace Weepu with TJ, but he is my initial thought.

@darren
Cullen
Coles
B. Barrett
Collins

Losing our first match makes it pretty vital we win this one... so silly starting plodder Prinsep & there's 3 or 4 on the bench that should be in the 15, also a bit risky starting Julian Savea in the midfield.
Be interesting to see how Tuivasa-Sheck goes... Blues have gained a very good power lock in Romano.

That's where you put the stuff about the match, not on this general canes thread. It's a match discussion thread, this isn't

Ok, will do that from now on.

[foobaNZ]

Surely it's now obvious Iose, Flanders, Love & PUJ should be starting to our coaches?

Hopefully IWL, Scrafton & Bird are back soon. I'd love a IWL & Sangster second row.

The back row must be Flanders, Savea & Iose. Gibson on the bench.

Love, PUJ & Sullivan looked amazing together. Stick with them.

Goosen, Rayasi and Barrett back three.
