Moana Pasifika v Hurricanes
-
@Canes4life good point , I'd slide I'm to 13 and Sullivan to 12. I'm a Higgin fan and would love to see him on there. But he's behind Sullivan in pecking order since Sullivan is a utility I'd think he'll get first preference even at 12. Hope he's on the bench tho

Sullivan isn't a 12 either? When has he played 12 in his pro career? Higgins deserves his opportunity after a very solid NPC, let's not blur the lines and try and shoe horn players into certain positions.
Holland needs to back his squad, rest Proctor and start Higgins and Sullivan together.

@Canes4life last SR game where it was proctor and Sullivan in the mid field but I think proctor played 12. Didn't to aswell as they'd thought. But a combination I think they'd go again with
Yes Holland needs to back Higgins like he has eith Lakai totes agree

Yeah it was against the Drua wasn't it? I think Proctor needs a rest though, he's made a lot of tackles this year so we need to look after him.
-
I think Proctar must be close to getting a rest, he has been putting in big shifts. For Aumu, not sure of on full resting policy, I thought those that weren't used a lot for ABs didn't have same policy, but just something I THINK I heard, and could of got it wrong!

Hurricanes named to take on Moana Pasifika: it's never a team naming day without some odd Holland selections. Why not give Higgins some game time? So has Morgan been passed by Hohepa now? What's going on. Also, what's the point in having Savea on the bench, why not give someone like Sinkinson a crack?

Thanks for pointing that out. Still odd not giving Higgins gametime though, surely this is the prime opportunity with Jordie not available.

23. Julian Savea@Canes4life Morgan has a concussion from last week apparently.
Totally agree regarding Higgins.Interesting thought do you think Moana Pasifika could target the “old boys” on defensive? -

@Stargazer That midfield could cause some headaches I’m thinking.
-
Again no game time for McClutchie. Mauger seems to prefer to name big midfielders in the reserves and to go without a reserve 10 on the bench, this season. While Havili can cover 10, none of the other backs or reserves play regularly at fullback. That's why it's surprising that Danny Toala isn't in the 23, who can easily shift to the back. Leuila will probably be the one to be used as 10 and/or 15 cover, but he's no specialist and not very quick either.

@Stargazer Lilo can play fullback
