Hurricanes vs Highlanders
-
shit id love a win, another loss and i can see getting written off for th erest of the season
-
@kiwiwomble I kinda hope you do also just to put pressure on Holland BUT given mediocrity seems to be a job saver I doubt it.

Argh ffs Holland you really are a f&#kwit
I just think his dice rolled that way, there is obviously no plan to hsi teams - they have to be random, with a few on loaded dice
-
@kiwiwomble love seeing Fakatava get the start , Coombes-fabling is the winger from Waikato with the head gear , dudes only like 80kg😅 he's very like for like for vili koroi

There’s way too much chopping and changing. It’s obvious to the fans who should be starting so why can’t Holland see it.
Iose over Kirifi
Flanders over Prinsep
Goosen over Savea
Umaga-Jensen over ProctorFfs it’s not rocket science.

@canes4life Apparently not on the Hurricanes Facebook page they’re all singing his praises it’s quite sickening.
-
LOL man Holland is dense
Where does he come up with these selections?
I can't believe Goosen can't even make the 23.
I don't think he's ever played Proctor at 12, but he is now. Why? Wtf? What about PUJ the guy who made the ABs at 12?
Iose and Flanders should be starting - that is obvious
-
@mikey07 it’s because the Hurricanes monitor their posts and don’t let a single negative comment infiltrate the perfect perception of their golden boy coach.
Jason Holland truely is a munter. So much so that when he was questioned on Rayasi’s hat trick against the Blues, he was quoted saying that he thought Rayasi only scored two tries. Does the guy even watch his team?
-
The funny thing about our coaching is that I think on attack, generally the Canes have good structure and hold the ball well. They're no where near as error prone as historical Canes teams
It's the game plans where we fall over (for example kicking the ball midfield versus Saders and trying to take them on upfront)
But far and away the worst thing about this coaching group is their selections, they are so unfathomably bad and inconsistent week on week
He'll fix one problem (put in Love) but create another (Proctor at 12) - and he does this all year
Last year IWL would play a blinder, and next week, he'd drop him
it's such a shame this squad has this muppet in charge
-
If you flick across on the post Holland explains the team selections. Apparently Peter Umaga-Jensen played really well off the bench last week but he trusts Proctor to do the job at 12. 🤦🏼♂️

@gt12 said in Hurricanes vs Highlanders:
Is Sangster injured? Kid has been great so better send him to the stands.
Edit: they are going to be tiny if they lose Delaney.
IIRC Prinsep went into lock last week. But your point still stands.
Howden would offer some height and size off the bench.
As to the Highlanders, I know that Brown said that both Fijian wingers were projects but Coombes-Fabling starting over either, or even Punivai (injured?), is a big surprise. I can't remember him playing on the left wing before.

@crucial said in Hurricanes vs Highlanders:
Where's all the Canes fans bitching about the team nearly being correct except for 12?
12, loose forwards, wing
That's my issue, it really makes no sense. Seems if someone plays well they get dropped. -
@crucial you obviously haven't read the thread.
All of Iose, Goosen, PUJ and Flanders should be starting. Those guys along with Love, Sullivan and Ardie, are the reason we came back against the Blues, yet Holland still decides to stick with impactless players like Prinsep, Kirifi, Proctor etc.
