@winger said in Hurricanes 2021:
Hes playing well enough. Esp playing in a poorly functioning team
For an AB spot? I cannot agree. He's certainly in good nick and playing better than he was in 2020 Mitre 10 Cup but he clearly lacks the explosiveness/speed when you compare him to Clarke, Nareki, Fainga'anuku, Reece etc. Heck even Rayasi in 15 minutes on the field showed more.
Totally. He was playing in the centres in the NH, and that is where his body is at now. But had he got the skills to do that at a higher level still, and the mental awareness?
Big winger who slows down a bit but sees his future in the midfield ?
Yeah, no fucken chance.....
-
@mn5 I was totally thinking of Tana, and that's what he played in NH. But has Savea got the nous and skills that Tana developed? I don't think so
-
@machpants Savea played some midfield for Wellington last year and he didn't look that flash.
-
Very different kind of work-rate and skills between those two. Tana was an excellent passer and almost another loosie, he naturally suited moving to the midfield.

Plus Tana moved in because he felt he’d lost some top end pace, not because he’d been shit for 5 years.

And had an eye for the game, could anticipate what was happening... and would typically only hit the deck if tackled by someone else, not just because he fell over.

@kiwimurph So basically everything will stay the same for the next two years. Same shit recruitment and selections.
No vision.

Canes have gone rotten (again) eh. That sucks.
Its a shame. It was good when the three other teams (Chiefs Highlanders and Canes) all had a good chance at winning. Now its back to these three just making up the numbers
But there is hope. Blues have shown it starts with the board. Get a strong board and the ship can be righted fairly quickly. But for the Canes its unlikely to happen any time soon. So we are stuck with mediocre and just making up the numbers. With poor recruitment, poor selections and poor coaching -
Till 2023!! ffs.
