@foobanz said in Hurricanes 2021:
JGB is in a word, average.
As are most of the Canes firsts over the years. Barrett has been one shinning exception
But he
Defends well
Clears the line well
He was slowish but his speed has improved a lot. And maybe after the operation he will be faster still
He usually finds his man when he breaks the line (unlike Howell)
And hes strong and big enough to break the line at timesAnd great firsts don't grow on trees. So yes I would love a RM or DC. Or even a young Barrett. But we have to wait until hopefully Love proves to be Carter plus. Or even more realistically close to Carter and I would be a happier man
-
@winger my point on this is more that if we select JGB calibre players, we won't win the comp - yet we do, week in and week out
it's just accepting mediocrity to me
McClutchie would have been a better choice pre season - he has more upside than JGB has.
JGB ain't gonna get any better

I wonder whether that number of weeks might be less if they had just taken him off straight away.

@stargazer said in Hurricanes 2021:
@gt12 Yep, I can understand why he wanted to play on, but already thought during the game that it was stupid to risk it. The coach should have had the balls to pull him.
Terrible lack of professionalism too; he's a very valuable asset that just shouldn't be risked in that situation.
-
@stargazer I guess the problem is the Dr is going to go on what Ardie tells him/her, if Ardie plays down the pain or seriousness then they can only go on that.
I commented at the time I hope playing on wouldn't make it worse.
So how long is it before the canes findout how long they lose Laumape for?
-
@taniwharugby I'm not sure he has been cited?
-
@stargazer thought I saw a clip on the news about him being cited?
He damn well should be if not, was a RC offence
-
Well if there is ever a reason to lose faith in a coaching team this is it
Why oh why I understand Scranton but REALLY!

Why the fuck would you sign Savea until 2023. He should be a year by year case.
These people are morons.
When are the Hurricanes actually going to announce a signing we can celebrate.
-
So Prinsep and Savea re-signed 'till 2023 (2 years) and Scrafton for 2022. Ridiculous that Savea gets two more years!

Several current Hurricanes may not want to re-sign because they don't get game time/starts.

@yeetyaah how the hell do the Canes as an organisation think they are going to increase bums on seats with signings like this?
I'd just like to say what a massive disappointment Avan Lee has been leading the Hurricanes from the top, he's always promised so much but he's fallen well short of the mark over the last four years.
Since Beaudy left, the only good signing we've had from outside our catchment has been Tyrel Lomax.
I think a big reason why Julz keeps getting a contract is that his old mate Cory Jane probably keeps putting in the good word during selection meetings. I can't see any other reason you would sign him for another two years.
Trio Extend Their Time at Hurricanes
