@Canes4life How close was that to their best side? Ruben Love was out. Aumua was a beast he could well be even better than ST, will be an interesting contest when they play the Chiefs. He really got the Canes rolling maul going well leading to the penalty try, dude was immense.
The Canes have about 11 players out so not their best side but it wasn’t weak.
People will be shuddering about the thought of the indispensible R. Prinsep coming back, and it won't be the opposition supporters.

Hopefully Flanders can claim this spot. With Delany as a backup.

Lol steady on guys it was just the Reds, let's not get carried away
No one’s getting carried away, I think everyone is pleased we didn’t drop a very winnable game in the heat.
A solid start to the season that we will build from, it also showed we have the firepower to beat anyone so hopefully the Canes can find some consistency this year.

You obviously have forgotten the debacle in the unlooseable game against Moana Pacifika last season.

and not have many key players injured. We have lost at lot so far but luckily have good backups. But a year without injuries and we could upset a few of the top teams

I’m not going to be surprised if we do very well this year though, a lot of guys seem to be at that mature 25 year old mark now, so we should really be humming on all cylinders.
The big worry is at 10, everywhere else we can compete with the best of them. If we can keep a healthy squad we should do better than last year.
We also have to remember these new rules are going to suit the way the Hurricanes play compared to many other teams so bring it on.

Match highlights:
-
After a second viewing, Aiden Morgan was not as bad as some Ferners wrote. After a rusty and hesitant start, Moorby was outstanding. His ability to beat defenders is amazing. I also liked what I saw of Rayasi. he was clearly the best NZ left wing of the weekend. Billy Proctor was very good too. I wouldn't have imagined writing something so positive about him two years ago.
Negatives : Franks and Coles are old and they showed it. Too hot for them in Townsville ?
Blackwell has teets for hands. How many balls did he drop during the first half ?
Numia was very quiet by his standards. His positioning at scrum time was weird on one occasion (hunched back). -

@cgrant Salesi probably did something ghastly for everything gold. Luckily it was only the Reds.

Yeah I felt Salesi was really up and down in that game aswell. He really needs to find some consistency in his game where he doesn't clock off in moments and stays switched on for the full 80.

He is who he is and it's been the same since he had the breakout season with Auckland back in 2018 - I wouldn't expect him to suddenly change now .

It definitely keeping him from pushing for higher honours. Fine if he’s happy being a Super player only but some of the mistakes he makes wouldnt cut it at the next level.
