@Duluth I’m surprised that Kini Naholo is at the top. Lakai might get a rest this week considering his position is probably the hardest on the body.

Two GOATS at training today:

If it was the Blues or Crusaders there would have already been an attempt to persuade SRP to allow one of the players to join the team at a late stage

Talking bollocks again winger. That seems to be happening a lot
The Canes don't have season ending injury in Ardies position. If they did I'm sure they would've made the same query the Blues did. It would be unprofessional no to
Personally I wouldn't have a problem with Ardie coming in to cover an injury

I was going to say, this kind of in depth statistical breakdown is something super rugby could do with. Cheers mate

@foobaNZ nah we need to back Godfrey to be our long term 10. Him and Roigard ripped the Crusaders apart in a pre season game last year as a halves combo. I’d rather back Godfrey than take a punt on Jacomb who’s aligned with the Chiefs anyway.
Godfrey also was the under 20 player of the tournament playing 10 last year.

I actually thought Godfrey played 15 for U20s last year. Kemara played at 10, Faleafaga Clan this year) was 12 and Godfrey was 15. Well the games I saw anyway. Although I agree he could well be our long term 10, he needs some experience in position at even NPC where he hardly makes it for Hawkes Bay. I reckong we need one more experienced 10 to back up Cameron until Godfrey gets the numbers on board . Personally am a fan of a young 10 getting a few years in squad before getting the pressure.

@Dan54 oh I mean for the NZ Super under 20s tourney in Taupo. He played 10 and was the player of the tournament. Should have played 10 for the NZ under 20s.
Don’t forget this is his second year in the Canes squad. Next year will be his third so he will be well ready for minutes, but I agree, he needs more time at 10 so if he isn’t going to get it for the Magpies then he’s more than welcome to come to Wellington. He plays a lot of his club rugby for Petone so he may aswell at this point.

Top of the table. Happy Days. Keep the faith!
Shields will be back next week, Lomax was walking around on the ground today but was still nursing his leg slightly, hopefully he’ll suit up next week.
Delany is an unknown but we’ve got solid depth in the locking department this year.

Nice to see a rugby journo put in some effort for once. Awesome story.

Update on Lomax:
Laidlaw said Lomax wasn’t too far away and could reunite with Aumua in the front row in a potential semifinal.
“He’s training now. He’s out of his moon boot but it’s just too early for him to play this week,” Laidlaw said.
“He scrummed on Tuesday and reminded the looseheads what he can do in the scrum, which was an exciting sight.
“He showed them who is the big dog around training again but we’re really hopeful that if we’re good enough to win this weekend he would be an option next week.”

Numia's season over
https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/350308504/season-over-form-hurricanes-prop-xavier-numia
Rakete-Stones will need to step up into Numia's shoes. PRS is the strongest player in the Canes so hopefully he can transfer that onto the field this Saturday.
