Hawkes v Manawatu

@Steven-Harris Absolutely. Thought the U20s weirdly looked better with him than Hotham a lot of the time.
@frugby totally agree, personally i think Hotham is a bit overated , has played with good packs at HBH , Ta$man and the Saders , has looked vunerable when the pack is not going so well , to give Jordi his dues he looks good in a Turbos team which is saying something ,good defender as well , looks fearless

Hotham possibly just doesn't quite suit the traditional NZ style of game. Akin a little bit to TJ, a little bigger and slower compared to a Smith, which just means he is not always as present at the ruck. Would probably go really well with the Boks for example (though obviously they have the good pack).

I really hope the Magpies don't let them come back into the game. We need to build some confidence after the recent losses.

Even if they 'let' them, Manawatu actually have to be good enough to do so. That seems unlikely.

Jordi Viljoen is the closest thing to Aaron Smith coming through , the length and speed of the pass is outstanding ..
@Steven-Harris I’m picking him to be the final Canes halfback signing for next year. He was with the squad for most of the year last year so hopefully it’s just a case of going through the motions to get his signature over the line.

Landers, Crusaders and Chiefs are all full up. Not sure about the Blues, but seems the likely outcome.

@frugby a Roigard / Vijoen 1-2 punch down the track would be pretty handy. I assume Perenara will be the back-up next year though.

@Stargazer is he signed for MP next year?
-
Vijoen has a beautiful box kick on him.
-
@Canes4life No, he isn't.
@Stargazer interesting, now that he’s matured quite a lot I’d say a few franchises will be after his signature.

Lovely delayed pass by Tiatia.

That defence was about as soft as you would ever see

Good game for our awful for and against.
