    @crucial Christie for the Blues even looks a far better option at this point.

    Except he’s at the Blues.

    And he's been pretty average too.

        Preconceived ideas. I'd take JT last night over Christie any day.

          @bones preconceived ideas have nothing to do with it. It was a below average performance from the Canes last night, let’s not let the bonus point win cloud our judgement here. As I’ve said earlier in the thread Taumateine was one of many that didn’t perform up to the standard you’d expect from a NZ side.

          Just take the first twenty minutes for example, we had about 6 cracks at the Rebels inside the 22 and came away with nothing. Surely you’d expect us to score points from that pressure? We lacked patience, we lacked simple skill execution and we lacked any sort of smarts to capitalise on that possession.

          Anyway it was a shit performance and I hope JT, Leger and a few other players don’t get contract extensions because frankly I don’t want us becoming the centre of mediocrity as many on here have obviously become accustomed to. I just expect better is all, nothing wrong with that from where I’m sitting.

          By the way, this statement from a fan of the bottom team in SRA is pretty neat. Yeah look at all us mediocrity lovers.

                He has

                Works very hard on defence though, make some important tackles and his pace stays through the game. But that doesn't compensate for average halfback play

                  @bones lol the bottom team isn’t what the Hurricanes are used to being, hence why I don’t want it becoming a ‘thing’ so to speak. Picking guys like JT will keep us there however.

                  The Highlanders are the battlers, not the Canes.

                      And yet, you want to stick with the halfback who got you to the bottom. You've got a good eye bud 😉

                      You must be embarrassed at struggling and/or losing to the so called battlers then eh.

                              I was merely pointing out to @Canes4life that the two best 9s in the country were both within the Canes grasp. The Blues clearly fucked up as well.

                                  @bones last year they were 3rd, your point? This year they had two last second losses so things could have been very different. Not bad when we are in a so called re-building phase, most notably in the halves.
