Hurricanes vs Chiefs
-
Well I'm fucking salty but only at my own team, seen some fuckwits blaming the ref on Instagram but Christ not even the hubble space telescope can reach as far as that. Not really sure what to say other than Jacomb, Carter, Tupaea, Stevenson and Taukei'aho were all shit. Saders win 13+ next weekend. If the Wahs also lose I'm not sure I'll be able to show face at work on Monday.

Ruben Love is getting better at 1st Five week after week. I think there are now three options for the All Blacks in this key position. Despite their errors (the missed tackle on Rona and the intercepted pass), I wouldn't mind having Higgins and Proctor as a midfield combo for the All Blacks. They are the best for creating space for the wingers. Imagine Caleb Tangitau outside them !

@Bones said in Hurricanes vs Chiefs:
@Canes4life Roigard's option taking/timing is off. He's just not seeing the game like he used to (or not as agile to take advantage of it).
It might just be a case of teams putting numbers on him so not as much space as last year but he does look a little off and not as confident.
Larkham said the Brumbies centred their game last week around shutting Roigard down which I guess created space out wide as a result.

Geez, I reckon Roigard is best 9 in the comp. He would be my pick in any of the teams.

Taukei'aho
I thought he was excellent ball in hand. Made some surging runs.

"Higgins and Proctor are the greatest Hurricanes midfield combo since Nonu and Snake."
No argument from me.

@BerniesCorner said in Hurricanes vs Chiefs:
Higgins - Proctor definitely AB material
They know how to create tries for their Wingers that's for sure.

That hasn't been an ABs tactic for years...

Oh crap, Naholo goes down in a non contact injury. He'll be gone for the season with a CL injury
Yeah. Real shame.
What's worse is he is on my Fantasy team ...
Need to be able to transfer injured players ...

I dropped Sullivan for proctor this week...

The guy Kirifi sheared like a sheep apparently lost a bet with some of the Canes players on tonight’s result.

Lukhanyo Higgins.
He has the pirouette, offload and grubber game down to a tee.

Despite the Canes performance tonight I still don’t think Aumua, Lomax and Roigard are anywhere the top of their game. Hopefully they can hit the ground running after the bye.
Bloody shame to lose Naholo.
@Canes4life
on losing Naholo with Higgins & Proctor cutting capers in the midfield Naholo offers another threat with his power game ,poor bugger
On saying that I was so impressed with how the Canes backline operated created opportunities no matter who was playing on the flanks
Harkin must be close to the breakout player of the comp in terms of NZ teams -

Love is certainly improving, but by geez Jacomb went well in a beaten team too. We starting to look reasonable at 10 in the country.

Agree he just ties opposition defenders around the ruck in such doubt and leaves defenses static and stretched out wide.
