@Stargazer 4 forwards started last we. But only 1 back
Forwards. 2 from front row. 1 lock and 6. Team still ok though with 10 new players. Except maybe 1st 5
Love as the backup first. I would have started him there with CGB at FB again. Savea on the wing
-
-
So Reece has been released by the ABs to get some game time, but not Fainga'anuku, who played against Manawatū, last Friday. Interesting that Reece will be starting at fullback again.
-
Who was that young kid with (I think) South African origins that played in the loose for the Canes this year? Is he from Wellington? I haven't seen him this NPC.
-
@Stargazer Mitch hunt update? the guy guided them to 3 finals in a row😔
-
@Crazy-Horse Tyler is with Manawatu?

I haven't seen any recent updates about Mitch Hunt. It's a big worry if he's still not playing because of the concussion he suffered when playing for the Highlanders (I think it was that head clash with Kahui?). A really bad Friday the 13th (May).
-
Very impressive the one time I saw him play. Shame he's missing the npc
-
Hunt was interviewed at HT in the SI 1st XV final. I wasn't listening close enough to know if he was asked about his return.

I watched that one game he played as well.
He was very good. -
@Chris yeah he's a talent. The Canes have a wealth of young good loosies in and around the squad atm. Take your pick out of TK Howden, Devan Flanders, Caleb Delany, Tyler Laubscher, Brayden Iose, Peter Lakai, and there's also Cooper Flanders on the radar.
The painful thing is we keep persisting with guys like Prinsep and Kirifi who are too shit/small for Super Rugby.

That’s a talented bunch for sure.
Peter Laki I wonder is he gets picked up by another franchise for 2023.
I don’t see Room for him at the Canes next year with that group you mentioned. -
@Chris I think they will sign him as he can play all three loose forward positions and at only 19 he looks like a unit. Prinsep and Kirifi can F off.

I thought Prinsep and Kirifi are signed for next year.
-
Shit.
Not big, strong, fast, Fetuli Paea.
-
@Chris probably, Prinsep can’t even make the Canterbury loose forward trio ffs. Such a dud.
-
@Canes4life Prinsep is injured.

Yep Hamstring back this week or next.
-
@Stargazer said in Tasman v Wellington:

Still a dud and shouldn’t be a Super Rugby starter.

Might help explain why Canterbury have been going a bit better this season.
-
Home game vs Wellington.
A good test of whether it's just a rebuilding season or a potential crisis.
We can't be losing this!
-
Kirifi ruled out. Sione Halahilo replacing him.
-
How crap is our attack far to slow with stupid passes…oh and a complimentary does the refs arm only go one way? Tasman are getting up awfully quick
-
Tasman unlucky to lose both starting locks within the first ten minutes, including their captain.
-

Shit.

Can't think of a better night for Fetuli to start throwing his size, strength and speed around!
-
@Stargazer Might give that midget Blackwell a chance now.
-
Of course Hames thought that was backwards out of the hand
-
Crap like that no wonder JGB didn’t get a Canes contract.
-
Paea usually stronger than that🙂
-
JGB is just so god damn average. So glad he’s no longer a Hurricane.
-
@Canes4life Fits in well at Wellington then.
-
Is our attack so crap we have to resort to putting up bombs
-
Nearly Connor ffs
-
@FakatavaAllBlack I'll take the $60 no problem! 😃
-
I suppose in this game we’ll take it
-
So "in touch" is now no longer "in touch"
-
Total f*ck-up from the TMO.
-
TMO disaster!
