Hurricanes vs Blues

@KiwiMurph I see what you're saying, it's more the continued selections of the likes of Prinsep, Savea, Blackwell and a few others when his hand wasn't forced that completely didn't make sense and hamstrung us more often than not. There was rarely a week where the selection of two or three players on the team wasn't questioned, compared to this year where there really hasn't been much to argue with tbh.
Anyway to refrain from the negativity I'm really looking forward to this clash on Saturday. No excuses for both sides and I hope we see a competitive game that will likely come down to a few big moments.

It is going to be a good indication of where the teams are at I think. Which tight five is going to stand and deliver? Looking forward to it.

@KiwiMurph said in Hurricanes vs Blues:
Holland selected Roigard at 9 last year and backed him. Holland stuck with Jordie at 12 last year. Holland gave Lakai starts last year but to be perfectly honest Lakai is much more physically ready this season which is not Holland's fault etc.
Your examples are not great.
With HB he had no choice with Booth in terrible form the other main option.
Holland started Lakai in week 1 but what then? Eventually just dopped him from the 23 even when available
Regarding Barrett. When Cameron was injured, I would have moved Barrett to 1st and started Higgins at 2nd. He did neither and instead went for the limited Morgan at first
He was just a limited coach and was super happy when he went. And nothing that's happened so far this year has changed my mind

Impressive start from both sides.
