    Anyone wanting to know what Ruben Love’s all about - check out the replay of the Breakdown here:

    Watch from around the 26 min mark, he comes across as a very focused young kid. Hope he spends time at 10 considering we have Jordie obviously locked in at 15 unless he moves franchise or positions.

      @machpants It’s ok just means we’re getting closer to McClutchie getting signed due to lack of other 10s around.

      That is about as likely as the Hurricanes beating the Crusaders. If it was going to happen it should have happened before the signing of Simon Hickey, Orbyn Ledger and that other guy that was the Counties reserve first five/halfback.

        @higgins Nah it’s just the very very very long game, I’m actually quite intrigued who’s going to be 10 if JGB though Ledger will probably be it.

          @mikey07 That's the bizzare thing about it. Ledger plays second five for Counties and is still being rated ahead of a reasonably decent first five, that kind if equates to Shane Howarth's welshness being enough to get him selected ahead of more suitably qualified Welshmen.

            @higgins I’ve basically given up hope this year which is a first ever, I want to see the coaches fail especially considering they have signed an extension, the only down side is of course the likes of Rayasi might leave.

              The coaches really are trying their best to make this team as mediocre as possible. What a bunch of tugboats.

              Add Billy Proctor to the Holland favouritism list. After not doing much how does he get ahead of PUJ?

                @canes4life Because he’s the “NEXT BEST THING” remember that’s why the Canes signed him for 5 years...

                    @canes4life Nor will he ever be. It is staggering why he keeps getting selected of PUJ or any other midfield player in the squad for that matter.

                                    @canes4life They might have a chance in the Championship division but would be prime contenders for relegation if they took part in the Premiership Division but naturally I would be supporting BoP for that spot!

                                        @mikey07 That's being a trifle optimistic. This Hurricanes side would struggle against the Reds and Brumbies who have decent forwards and backs respectively. The Sth Africans generally come up with giants in the forwards which would smother the Canes, and if that didn't work then there is the good old SA fall back of refereeing to overcome now that neutral refs seem to have been done away with as a cost cutting measure.
