@Stargazer Phew. Hopefully someone will keep checking the NZRFU media sites and will be able to advise when they correct this error. Will also give a further indication whether (or how closely) they are monitoring this site as well!
They have corrected it!

@SBW1 Morgan has been mud all year for the Canes. As soon as Brett Cameron came back in we looked a lot more organised.
Probably because the Umaga-Jensens don’t really warrant a mention on form. They’ve probably selected the right guys at centre even though Goodhue / Nankivell are leaving our shores.

Back to Dom Gardiner, I watched the SR final again and was really impressed with the impact he had when he came on. His work rate was immense and he put in a number of dominant tackles. Really rate this guy, and is unlucky to miss out on this team imo.
-
@akan004 I find my opinion on Gardiner as a player is fluctuating somewhat. When he first came on scene I was a bit meh, then he had the purple patch at the end of last year and I thought wow, this guy could be one hell of a player. Then he played lock this year and thought yep, can't wait to see what he can do at 6. Then he played 6 for a few games and I hate to say it, but I was pretty underwhelmed.
I didn't watch him all that closely on the weekend so I have no opinion on how he went.
-
A lot of that form was at NPC level. He has a lot of potential obviously
When you look at this squad he basically missed out to Suafoa. It's hard to argue against that
-
@Crazy-Horse Yeah, same but thought he did really well in the final though. Threw his body around like there was no tomorrow.

That's good to hear, but like I said I didn't really look out for him. I did notice him dive around. A shame he fumbled that crooked Chiefs lineout near the end, but who knows, had he scooped the ball up the Saders may not have won. So I am not complaining.
-
Seen Morgans name on this thread ? R u serious ? Also Seen Mafileo training w the ABs in a post somewhere good to see. Apparently he's covering for Newell who is still injured.
-
@BerhamporeNinja yeah Mafileo is training with the ABs as cover. Another the Canes are rumoured to not have signed. Ffs.
