@mikey07 Certainly not, we have to endure going through all the guys training up at Rugby League Park right through to the Under 18s before that is likely to happen. Also throw in every Swindale Shield club first five before McLutchie is likely to be considered and that's before you even start on the guys playing in the 'Poo.

Repeat after me: McClutchie, McClutchie (not McLutchie)

@stargazer Ahhh that might explain things a bit as the Canes selectors are probably looking up the white pages under the wrong spelling and not able to locate him then!

The second the got rid of Fletcher Smith I knew they were F***ed he was way better that JGB
The hurricanes need to change their tactics to have a chance this year. Last year they could at least get Laumape moving this year he's been a dud.
And getting rid of the van wouldn't go amiss...
He is too old and he's holding up rayasi's progress. -
Former New Zealand Schools first-five Aidan Morgan, 19, was in the mix, too, but was deemed too young by NZ Rugby when the Hurricanes applied to add him to their squad, Holland said.So Love is still 19 DOB 24/4/2001
Morgan DOB 7/6/2001Does the extra 6 weeks make a difference?
Hope Love goes wellSitting in the background is another 19-year-old former NZ Schools pivot, Ruben Love, who was named in the 38-man Hurricanes squad and will play first-five for the second team the Hunters on Saturday. Holland rates Love highly and the gifted first-five/fullback will loom into contention in coming weeks after he was sidelined by concussion early in the season. Taranaki’s Daniel Waite is another pivot summoned as cover.I am a big fan of Billy Procter but why the F*** is he starting not PUJ.
Although Armstrong benched is a good idea becuase he is shit.
Also Flanders is better than Prinsep. But Prinseps from Canterbury so NZR loves him

@mackerzzzz Not sure what NZR or Canterbury has got to do with Hurricanes team selections. That's all on the Hurricanes' coaches; no running away from responsibility or blaming someone else.
Laumape was a dud for most of the 2020 season, too. Apparently, someone needs to show him some "disruspec" before he has a good game, or two. That seems to be enough to get him into the ABs ...

@stargazer They seem to have some say over coaching appointments though. Firstly the Hamateur and now J Holland who both made their mark as assistant coaches at the Crusaders. One shudders to think what the ABs record might be under their stewardship.

@higgins Jason Holland has never been coach at the Crusaders; he has been a Canterbury assistant coach, but that's a long time ago. He has been assistant coach at the Hurricanes since 2015.
@stargazer That makes it even more strange how he keeps getting the appointments further up the chain.
-
@bovidae Hopefully Fozzie gets the chop so Razor can get the job and take Holland with him.....actually maybe not Gibbes will probably get the job 🤮

@canefan geez that's a million times better!
The problem is that on the other side of the ledger was the Hammettuer.

The Hammer and Alama were limited but were also far and away better than the current lot.
