Hurricanes vs Chiefs
-
@Higgins Plumtree has mentioned him being the most experienced but it still doesnt' mean he should be playing there. How many lineouts/kickoffs have we botched this year because of our locks being slightly too short. Those mistakes are far too costly and it will most likely be our downfall as we head into the business end of the season.

@Bones Geoff Cridge, IWL - take your pick.
-
@Canes4life no but what's the number of lineouts/kickoffs lost for that reason?
@Bones well atm the Canes sit 14th for lineouts won at 81.6%.
If they can improve that stat alone the Canes should quite easily put more points on the board considering they are 1st at metres gained with 4231m.

It will take a massive effort from the Chiefs loosies for them to be in this game. Glimmer of hope is that they are actually capable of playing at that level at times during a season. Let's hope this is one of those nights.

@Crucial just can't see it without McKenzie and Rettalick on the park. They are too influential to this inexperienced Chiefs side.

Having no DMac is bad. No DMac and Cane is much badder. No DMac, Cane and BBBR is hopeless.
On paper the Canes have this easily. As I said though, there is a glimmer of hope in that if our loosies all play out of their skins (which they sometimes do individually), it will keep us in the game enough that anything could happen.
Not something I would put money on though.

Well, on paper :
Armstrong < Ta'avao
Aumua < Harris
May < Moli
Blackwell < Allardice
Leaupepe < Brown
Fifita > Jacobson (not so sure on current form)
Savea > Boshier
Prinsep < Ardron
TJP > Weber
Barrett > MacKenzie
Tiatia < Wainui
Laumape < ALB
Proctor > Manu
Goosen > Moeakiola
Barrett < AlaimaloSo the Canes superiority on paper is not so evident. If the Chiefs dominate up front - which is probable - it should be a tight result.

@Bones in the most key positions 7, 9 & 10 the Canes look far superior so that will give them a big edge and the fact that the Chiefs three best players are sitting in the stands.

Very curious about the status of Te Toiroa Tahuiorangi, just wondering if he is signed for the chiefs in 2012..
I find it really strange he’s ranked the no3 ABs halfback, can’t always make the chiefs starting 23 little alone the number 9 jersey..is it something he’s done wrong within the squad work ethic or is he signing with another franchise ..?

Nothing public about having signed beyond 2019.

I@Steven-Harris People on here talk of him possibly heading north. It's strange the position he's in, but I think he particularly enjoys being a Chief so he might stay on for longer, possibly another year and see if he can get some game time over Weber. I really hope he doesn't go anywhere.
