    @mikey07 being a former Chief maybe he’s trying to sabotage the Canes. Seriously though between Prinsep, Blackwell, Hickey and the re-signing of Savea, the guy should be booted from the job.

        In terms of height, that's 2 Blackwells, right?

          He will probably have to look up to Ardie though.

                @Stargazer reading between the lines from what Holland had to say, it sounds like we will have access to Rayasi but there is still some negotiation to be had with NZ Sevens and his commitments to that campaign aswell.

                                  I’m sure that idea that to be a wining team you need a great 10 is over stated and not true...

                                    weak weak 9/10. Does not bode well for a good system

                                      So both these players have only been signed for one season:

                                        I’ve been saying all along that visigna would be a good addition BUT at the expense of Savea.
                                        Patafelo has looked pretty good and full of energy during mitre 10 cup

                                          @mikey07 To me the signing of the Bus is nothing more than an attempt to lure more people into buying memberships and to the stadium (if he's on the team sheet). He's a crowd favourite, despite being so far past his best that he should be struggling for game time. I say "should" because this coaching combo has made many wrong selections throughout the 2020 season.
