The second the got rid of Fletcher Smith I knew they were F***ed he was way better that JGB
The hurricanes need to change their tactics to have a chance this year. Last year they could at least get Laumape moving this year he's been a dud.
And getting rid of the van wouldn't go amiss...
He is too old and he's holding up rayasi's progress.This year's team might be the worst Canes team in our history
@canefan nah 2012 was worse all they had was b barrett and c smith
-
@mikey07 Certainly not, we have to endure going through all the guys training up at Rugby League Park right through to the Under 18s before that is likely to happen. Also throw in every Swindale Shield club first five before McLutchie is likely to be considered and that's before you even start on the guys playing in the 'Poo.

@canefan geez that's a million times better!
The problem is that on the other side of the ledger was the Hammettuer.

The Hammer and Alama were limited but were also far and away better than the current lot.

@mackerzzzz Taylor went all right.

As bad as he was, I'd say him and Holland are a push
-
I disagree that Holland needs to go I think the issue is higher up.
Nobody seems to want to play for the canes

Unsure where you get this from
But TBH if I was a very promising young player living in the Canes region and a Canes fan. If all the teams wanted to sign me I doubt if I would sign for the Canes as it is now (esp a taller lock or a 6. And a centre). And a big factor in this is the coaches
-
Coles is back. Jeez this side could probably topple the main side.
Hopefully Love makes a statement at 10.

@winger having Coles on the sidelines hasn’t helped aswell. Perenara and Coles are probably the two players that usually bring that extra bit of fizz that more often than not gets the boys up and passionate for the jersey.

For who hasn't noticed: there is a second picture with the Hurricanes U20s (contenders) squad. Just click on the ">".I wish this game was televised!
No Tyrone Thompson in the Hunters' team; so either he's injured or they keep him ready for the main game, just in case the coke sniffer falls over his boot laces.

I totally agree with you look at that backline even with two youngsters at 10 and 15

@mikey07 Yet another perplexing selection at 15 there from the selectors. A Morgan has only ever played at first five in the games he has played at Premier level for his club during his time in Wellington.

Maybe he is being picked after a scintillating display at 15 whilst playing at Premier Reserve level?

I imagine they're wanting to give Love experience at 10 (given he is 1 injury away from potentially starting there for the 'Canes), but are reluctant to start him there without a bit of support. So it's all about Love, and nothing to do with Morgan. Which isn't a bad life philosophy.
I don't imagine they're grooming Morgan to play fullback on a more regular basis (fingers crossed they're not, anyway).

@stargazer is there away to watch the highlights?
