@Canes4life said in 2021 Hurricanes:
@Nepia I’m not making up bullshit though, in my eyes Ili has been the danger man for Hawkes Bay and Lowe has been nothing more than solid. Does care anyway, Lowe will never be anymore than a squad filler.
FFS dude, Ili hasn't been close to Lowe's form this year.
@Nepia Yeah, Ili had some nice breaks in the Counties game, but guess who drew in the defenders to create the space for Ili? Very often that was Lowe. He did the same for players like Mikaele-Tu'u (IIRC against Otago?). In the Canterbury game, Ili was very easily contained and it was Lowe himself making the breaks.
Saying Macilai is better than Lowe is just trolling.

@Nepia oh yeah because Lowe is so amazing. Is he related to one of you blokes or something? seriously the amount of times you Hb blokes rave about someone so limited in ability really is something to behold. I suppose he’s really good by Hawkes Bay standards.
Also go back and watch those first few HB games of the year. Ili was the guy breaking the line and making Lowe look good, not the other way round.

@Canes4life Mate, you're making a fool of yourself haha.
@Stargazer your continuous fluffing of Lowe is embarrassing. Just face it, he’s never going to be more than a squad filler at Super level.

As @Stargazer says you're making a fool of yourself. At any rate I've never been as big a fan of Lowe as he is while not under rating him like some Canes fans do, but we're comparing him to another Magpies player so it's not like we're rating him higher than one of your precious Wellingtonians.
Funnily enough I'm assuming Stacey must be your brother considering how much you're fluffing him and as I've said multiple times I thought he was great last year. Also, he's barely put Lowe away this year, Lowe has made most of his metres returning kicks and in traffic near the rucks, not because he's been put into space.

@Nepia I have no reason to rate Ili, in fact I don’t really care as I’m not an HB supporter. From what I’ve seen though Ili has been in fine form. Better than some of my so called precious Wellingtonioans infact.
Lowe being the best back in Hawkes Bay as you both say is no mean feet anyway. In fact it’s a cripple fight looking at that backline. You have someone who’s nearly 40 playing fullback, you have a washed up Blues wing playing 14, you have two kids in the halves. If Lowe wasn’t the best back in the Bay then I would be seriously worried.
When you compare Lowe to other players in NZ though he’s very underwhelming.

Oh, so you're just on the troll, don't waste your money on that popcorn @MN5

ideas on who you'll get in? dont know if Kayne Hammington is still with us next year, wellington boy etc and he might struggle for game time behind fakatava, assuming we see him as the future

@Kiwiwomble And behind Jamie Booth as well as he was behind him when they were both at Manawatu.
@Higgins forgot about booth, probably bring through someone young and local then

Id like to see some more of Collins. Would need to bulk but he looked class in his last stint (v NH). maybe he's a possibility as the third HB
