Hurricanes 2021
-
Loose forward Blake Gibson, who scored the crucial 76th minute try, is shifting to another New Zealand team believed to be the Hurricanes.
@tim ffs I actually have no faith in these coaches / selectors. Bunch of morons the lot of them. How many games do we need to watch as fans before these idiots realise we need a bigger pack to compete. Completely f@&king delusional.

@african-monkey Swap for Fifita maybe
@mikey07 I would have been stoked with A Ioane, but Gibson is taking the absolute piss. The guy is always injured.

@mikey07 Suprised Fifita hasn't gone overseas yet.

I’m surprised he is t turning out in a seven’s team right now. Perhaps next year? He’d be a very valuable player in the lighter/faster/weaker Top League.

@canes4life as would I like you said we need a bigger pack not a smaller one.

@gt12 Yeah he would. A lot more freedom to run and no real emphasis on work jn the tight.

@kiwimurph The first signing, if true, further confirms peoples ratings of J. Holland. Other outfits like the Chiefs and Highlanders will continue to benefit thanks to selections like that.

@kiwimurph The Canes now better sign Thompson (they won't sign Kereru-Symes, of course), and not O'WhitePowder.
The Gibson signing is ridiculous.

@stargazer At least Thompson is, nominally, a Wellington player now so that would count in his favour. He would have no show if he was still up in Napier.

@stargazer they better sign Thompson. If they sign White Powder I’m literally going to take a hiatus until these idiots are out of a job.

So Ardie is gone to league? Why else would the Canes sign Gibson when they have Ardie and the Mexican Drug Lord?
-
@tim Gibson isn't exactly like for like with Fifita. So strange.
@canes4life Well he has played at 6 a bit, and with his reduced speed perhaps he will bulk up a bit and be a full time 6?

The dude breaks every 5 minutes at 7, it will increase to every 3 minutes at 6.

Maybe Ardie is now considered a no.8 so you need an extra openside? Kirifi and Evans the only current options. Iose is a 6/8 and there are plenty of those in the squad.
@Tim I would have promoted Howden if they need a true no.6. But in line with the Canes they like undersized forwards.
-
@tim he could do, hopefully he can turn a new leaf at the Canes as I rated him a few years ago.
@canes4life Maybe he will get the same change in injury luck as Scrafton.

@bovidae good point, Ardie did an interview at the start of the year (prior to Cane getting injured) and he considered himself an 8 first and then a 7.
This now spells bad news for Flanders because the Canes obviously rate Prinsep as their best 6.
