@tim said in Hurricanes 2021:

@african-monkey Maybe a replacement for Boshier? He's better than Karpik, even after all the injuries.

That's debatable I'd say. Plus, he is injured all the time.

[African Monkey]

@tim I just assumed he was signing for the Canes haha after what @Nogusta said.

'They've seen a lot of pain': MacDonald reveals personal significance of Blues' title

Blues coach Leon MacDonald opens up on the personal significance of the transtasman title.

Loose forward Blake Gibson, who scored the crucial 76th minute try, is shifting to another New Zealand team believed to be the Hurricanes.

@tim Paywalled

[mikey07]

@african-monkey Swap for Fifita maybe

[Canes4life]

@tim ffs I actually have no faith in these coaches / selectors. Bunch of morons the lot of them. How many games do we need to watch as fans before these idiots realise we need a bigger pack to compete. Completely f@&king delusional.

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 I would have been stoked with A Ioane, but Gibson is taking the absolute piss. The guy is always injured.

[African Monkey]

@mikey07 Suprised Fifita hasn't gone overseas yet.

I’m surprised he is t turning out in a seven’s team right now. Perhaps next year? He’d be a very valuable player in the lighter/faster/weaker Top League.

[mikey07]

@canes4life as would I like you said we need a bigger pack not a smaller one.

[African Monkey]

@gt12 Yeah he would. A lot more freedom to run and no real emphasis on work jn the tight.

@kiwimurph The first signing, if true, further confirms peoples ratings of J. Holland. Other outfits like the Chiefs and Highlanders will continue to benefit thanks to selections like that.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph The Canes now better sign Thompson (they won't sign Kereru-Symes, of course), and not O'WhitePowder.

The Gibson signing is ridiculous.

[Higgins]

@stargazer At least Thompson is, nominally, a Wellington player now so that would count in his favour. He would have no show if he was still up in Napier.

[Canes4life]

@stargazer they better sign Thompson. If they sign White Powder I’m literally going to take a hiatus until these idiots are out of a job.

[Nepia]

So Ardie is gone to league? Why else would the Canes sign Gibson when they have Ardie and the Mexican Drug Lord?

[Tim]

@nepia Replace Fifita?

[Canes4life]

@tim Gibson isn't exactly like for like with Fifita. So strange.

[Tim]

@canes4life Well he has played at 6 a bit, and with his reduced speed perhaps he will bulk up a bit and be a full time 6?
