@Stargazer yes but really it's our tight forwards letting us down, the scrum is a joke. Maul defence almost as bad, but at least then ardie can get in there and do all the work. Not even he is awesome enough to do the scrum himself. The defence from the backs was pretty porous too, disorganised once things got hard
-
@Machpants Exactly. Their tight 5 is pathetic. Evans is solid but their issues lie up front.

@canefan funny that out of all players to miss, I felt we really missed May at scrum time tonight. Man JTA is such a fluffy bunny. He's the biggest weakness in this Canes side IMO. How he became an All Black will forever be one of lifes mysteries.
Aumua and IWL showed plenty of promise but they still have a fair bit of maturing to do.
We need Coles back asap.

@Higgins yeah but they are young so obviously still not the finished product. I'm liking what i'm seeing from those two and if you add in the fact that Numia has probably been one of our better scrum operators at the raw age of 20 means that we have plenty of talent coming through.
Toomaga Allen was a massive weakness for us and the sooner he heads overseas the better IMO.

Can someone get Brad Shields on the phone?
I tried for you but he dropped it.

@Canes4life I don't Rate Eves either May is mid 30's now so you need to contract a decent TH for next Season.
Amua,Smith,Fidow are up to it but you need more than 3 adequate props in a squad now .
Crusaders may have the same problem coming need a TH.So any young TH or Overseas Prop may have SR contract options for next Season. -
@Chris Yeah Eves and Toomaga Allen need to go. The trio of Numia, Aumua and Fidow are the future but they are still young. Add in the injured Tim Farrell from Hawkes Bay and there is a good young squad developing, however to compete upfront now we need good, experienced props - Plumtree should be on the hunt now, instead of waiting for the off-season to come around.
-
I made a list of young props in the Hurricanes 2019 thread.
Edited to add that Farrell isn't injured anymore; he's been playing club rugby in the Bay.

Cullen's just ok as a comm. Too modest for my liking. FFS, I'd tune in just to hear him yakk on about his playing days. At GREAT length. "Yeah, he's under his own sticks there, that's when you throw an outrageous dummy, hit the gas, ghost past a few, chuck in another dummy, go up through the gears, imperceptible body swerve or two, in top gear now, throw in another huge dummy, then hit turbo thrust to leave them in the dust, dot down under the sticks at the other end to cap off the 105 metre solo try. Or you could just kick it out."

@MN5 fucking gets up after scoring and is barely puffed. WEAPON!

How are we second on the table? Seriously!
Because you are just slightly less crap than every other team?

It was only about 95 metres. Not 105 like old mate RRB claimed.
