    @Dan54 thanks. But Aidan Morgan. Shame. Hope he finds form quickly. As he will likely start next week. Maybe Godfrey will make the 23

    Yep I just hoping Morgan had off game, as I like the young fella, just he struggled last night I thought, and his kicking to touch was lucky to make 10-15m, not something I had noticed before lat night.

    I have. It got better later in the NPC but his touch finding is often terrible. Unless this consistently improves Canes need to find another first.

      I thought Morgan and Barrett just tried way too hard instead of keeping things simple. Hopefully they can pull it together for the first proper game of the year.

      With Love and Cameron unavailable for round 1, there's a good chance Godfrey will be in that first 23.

      Based on yesterday's selections I feel like this will be our first 23 of the year that Holland will pick to play the Reds.

      No Lakai. One of your standouts. Also IWL I would like to see at some point, Maybe when its colder as Blackwell is a certain pick in the heat.

      btw where does Mifileo want to play. LH or TH. Or is he equally as good at both. And would he be best to start as a LH. It will be a shame if Numia doesn't continue his NPC form and makes an impact at super rugby. As I would prefer Milfilio as the backup TH and Numia and RS as the LHs

          OK I wouldn't move Savea to 7 as his position is now 8. Lakai at 7 as a replacement to begin with

          The team looks good enough but Morgan needs to step up. Even if he does its still not a championship winning team. Even with lots of luck. Holland develops good solid teams but no more. Thats why he would be a good assistant to a winner like Robertson.

            If it was me I would start Lakai and move Savea to 7 but that’s the team I think Holland will pick.

            OK I wouldn't move Savea to 7 as his position is now 8. Lakai at 7 as a replacement to begin with

            The team looks good enough but Morgan needs to step up. Even if he does its still not a championship winning team. Even with lots of luck. Holland develops good solid teams but no more. Thats why he would be a good assistant to a winner like Robertson.

            Im not saying that’s our best team, I just think it’s the one that Holland will pick to start the season. If we have all our best players on the park we will do well in this comp, especially if guys like Higgins and Lakai flourish when they do get an opportunity.

            My ideal Canes side if everyone was fit would look like this:

            1. Mafileo

            2. Aumua

            3. Lomax

            4. Sangster

            5. Delany

            6. Flanders

            7. Savea

            8. Lakai

            9. Roigard

            10. Love

            11. Rayasi

            12. Higgins

            13. Sullivan

            14. Moorby

            15. Barrett

            16. Coles

            17. Rakete-Stones

            18. Franks

            19. Walker-Leawere

            20. Iose

            21. Perenara

            22. Morgan/Cameron

            23. Savea

              @Dan54 thanks. But Aidan Morgan. Shame. Hope he finds form quickly. As he will likely start next week. Maybe Godfrey will make the 23

              Yep I just hoping Morgan had off game, as I like the young fella, just he struggled last night I thought, and his kicking to touch was lucky to make 10-15m, not something I had noticed before lat night.

              I thought Morgan and Barrett just tried way too hard instead of keeping things simple. Hopefully they can pull it together for the first proper game of the year.

              With Love and Cameron unavailable for round 1, there's a good chance Godfrey will be in that first 23.

              Based on yesterday's selections I feel like this will be our first 23 of the year that Holland will pick to play the Reds.

              1. Rakete-Stones
              2. Aumua

              No Lakai. One of your standouts. Also IWL I would like to see at some point, Maybe when its colder as Blackwell is a certain pick in the heat.

              btw where does Mifileo want to play. LH or TH. Or is he equally as good at both. And would he be best to start as a LH. It will be a shame if Numia doesn't continue his NPC form and makes an impact at super rugby. As I would prefer Milfilio as the backup TH and Numia and RS as the LHs

              If it was me I would start Lakai and move Savea to 7 but that’s the team I think Holland will pick.

                Of course, I feel over time Higgins will get that 12 jersey though and like Holland said the other day we’ll see Jordie at 15 a couple times this season.

                    @Canes4life

                    Interesting side

                    I won't give a side but I hope to see players based on good form make the starting 23 or starting

                    Aumua starting not Coles
                    Mafileo as the backup TH (Franks looks a bit past it now)
                    R-S and Numia as the 2 LHs (Im hoping Numia steps up this year
                    IWL starting at lock (he was brilliant at times for wellington before moving to HB)
                    Delany at 6
                    Lakai at 7
                    Flanders as the backup 8
                    Roigard making 9 his starting position even when Perenara returns
                    Love at 1st
                    etc

                    Unlikley to happen though

                    These are players that have the qualities like size or speed etc to turn the Canes from making up the number to serious title contenders

                        Yep, and if Savea isn't playing, it will very likely be Flanders at 8.

                          Godfrey has the highest ceiling of all 10s currently at the Canes. Still 19 though.

                            @Winger the old adage will still run true in the end though.
                            Can’t win the competition without a world class 10.

                            Godfrey has the highest ceiling of all 10s currently at the Canes. Still 19 though.

                            Seems he was better than Morgan v crusaders. Hope he's in the 23 vs reds and he gets game time

                              @Dan54 thanks. But Aidan Morgan. Shame. Hope he finds form quickly. As he will likely start next week. Maybe Godfrey will make the 23

                              Yep I just hoping Morgan had off game, as I like the young fella, just he struggled last night I thought, and his kicking to touch was lucky to make 10-15m, not something I had noticed before lat night.

                              I thought Morgan and Barrett just tried way too hard instead of keeping things simple. Hopefully they can pull it together for the first proper game of the year.

                              With Love and Cameron unavailable for round 1, there's a good chance Godfrey will be in that first 23.

                              Based on yesterday's selections I feel like this will be our first 23 of the year that Holland will pick to play the Reds.

                              @Canes4life wouldn't argue with that team at all. I see you were at Levin for the game, did you enjoy it as much as me?

                                Yeah he was v good on Friday. In Roigard, Godfrey, Higgins and Love, the Canes have some solid young talent to build their backline around going forward.

                                  Yeah, I really enjoyed it, beautiful Friday afternoon in the sun watching two good sides go at it, not a bad way to finish a working week.
