    It might be if JGB is ever ranked No. 1 first five at the Hurricanes.

      Given he was identified as a potential All Black First-Five yesterday, I wonder if we will see Jordie Barrett at 10 for the Canes next year.

        If JGB is all we've got I'd give Jordie a couple of runs in 10 just to see what happens

            @canefan Certainly not after last nights performance, we definitely need a good 10 and fast

              Yeah JGB was horrible last night. All over the place with his passing and kicking. Massive worry for the Canes.

              I expect better from someone that has been in Super Rugby for three years now.

                  @Canes4life If Lima's club are keen to offload him because they think he is a bust then we should try to make that happen. Get him home, back on a kiwi diet and lots of hours on the stair master and our problems will be less

                        He's off to Japan, otherwise the Chiefs would re-sign him.

                          I think the Canes are in trouble next season as far as playmakers go. Shame as the rest of the squad looks strong.

                            @Canes4life Yeah aye, finally have a decent tight 5 but no playmaker. Rats.

                              Classic Canes, our timing is always off. I think we are still strong enough to reach Semis and above though, however that will only happen if we keep our main forwards fit i.e. Coles, Ardie, Lomax etc.

                                @Canes4life Don't forget the locks. I reckon Scrafton will show some real improvement at the Canes. If he steps up and stays fit, Canes could have a pretty decent scrum.

                                  Not with JGB at the helm. Our only hope, if there is no major signing, is that the proposed JB at 10 experiment is a roaring success

                                    JBarrett at 10 would solve a lot of problems about having their best players available all on the park too. Personally, I don't think he'll work out there, but it might be a better option than what's available

                                      @canefan I'd rather see them give the starts to Fletcher Smith. Smith still has the potential for improvement while JGB already reached his (very low) ceiling about 2 years ago. Smith showed a lot of promise at the end of the 2019 season.

                                        @Stargazer I agree re Garden Bachop, I was willing to give him time to showcase his talent but unfortunately, he just isn't cutting it. I would go with Fletcher Smith aswell and hope he doesn't repeat his performances from this year when he played at 10.

                                          @Yeetyaah That's if Plumtree gives him a crack. Remember he still thinks Blackwell is a Super Rugby level lock.
