@Stargazer Riccitelli off?

@Stargazer Was wondering why they were signing him if they already had three hookers? (Aumua, Coles, Riccitelli/Armstrong)
-
@Stargazer Ah, sorry!

@mikey07 Yeah, the stupidity level in this one is huge. If you don't have a better option at this moment, sign him for one year. Who knows what talent comes through in the years after. I think there are a few talented youngsters coming through the ranks in all three provinces.

@Stargazer I honestly don’t understand how they can’t see what 99% of everyone else can ok he is a work house at M10 Cup level but super rugby is another step up.

@mikey07 said in 2021 Hurricanes:
Who the hell thought it was a good idea to offer Blackwell a 3 year deal.
Hes barely Ok at NPC level. Any coach who signs a player like Blackwell for 3 years and then even worse starts him week after week will never win the title. Its a make up the numbers coach

@Stargazer Plumtree and Delany alone are already better than Blackwell.

Having just watched Wellington v Otago, it's clear that Julian Savea shouldn't get a SR contract, but I'm really afraid he'll get one, just because he's an ex-Cane, ex-AB, who may attract some crowd. I'd much rather see them replace Ben Lam with Lolagi Visinia, if they're looking for a power winger. I don't think the Canes need a midfielder, but I'm sure there would be better midfielders they could sign, too.
Really, I'll be banging my head against a brick wall if someone like Jonah Lowe, who has been very good thus far for the Magpies, doesn't get re-signed (I don't have any idea about that), and Jules does. But the Hurricanes selectors aren't really that good ...
