@nepia He must be destined to one of the other teams the Magpies feed players to, obviously he does not qualify for the MPs so it must be to your Chiefs.

I hope so, although MP are my firm second favourite with their numbers of Pies players.

@foobanz no Rayasi either, it's just a shambles. Both of those players should be locked in starters every week but they keep getting dropped.
How the hell are players meant to get any momentum in their game when they don't know where they stand. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mass exodus at the end of the year, surely the players are sick of the inconsistency in selections. I certainly would be if I was Flanders, PUJ, Rayasi etc.
Yes please, yes please, and absolutely yes please.
In reality the first two would be really suitable for the Landers, but we need a strike winger. We could turn Rayasi into an AB, which is looking less likely at the Canes.
Not sure if the Highlanders need another 8/6 from the Magpies, they already have Evans and MMT.

He's better than both of them, but don't get me wrong I'd love him at the Chiefs for the inevitable times when Jacobson is injured.

Agree, but prefer they are spread around teams to get game time - if he as added to the roster there'd be 4 HB origin 6/8s when Renton is included
. Although the best outcome is for that dickhead Holland to start Flanders for the Canes. -
@nepia You may want to temper that a bit for the next game anyway as only S. Funaki and E. Enari are starting and L. McClutchie on the bench and then there is S. Kata in the number 12 jersey.

Yeah, I saw that and have commented in the Blues v MP thread. I threw some toys out of the cot.

And here it is:
Unbelievable, the Plodder is starting at 6 again - Perenara was awful last week, he was stuffing around looking at the ball at the base of the rucks instead of trying to fire the it out as quick as possible... Proctor shouldn't be at 13, O'Sullivan should have his spot{our best midfield combo would have to be Umaga-Jensen/O'Sulivan} & prefer J.Barret at 15, also J.Savea has a really poor work rate, amazing Rayasi isn't playing in his position.
Love is a better 10 than fullback.
Think someone on TSF said Holland might be signing up with a team in the UK, certainly hope that is the case. -

@stargazer You must be happy got a whole two Magpies on the bench
I can only see one. Unless Sullivan has come home and I missed it?

Yup, only one. Sullivan is high on my wish list, but no news yet of him coming home like Tyrone.

TBH, for his Canes starting prospects it's probably better he doesn't come home.

Hope so. But any board who appoints someone this poor will likely find someone new just as bad

That's true... everything starts at the top, we should be looking for the right people to have on the Hurricanes Board, so they then have better nous to appoint a good head coach.

@stargazer said in Hurricanes vs Chiefs:
@winger They'll probably promote Cory Jane to head coach.
He was one of most intelligent players NZ have ever had, doesn't mean he'd be a good coach, he'd have to be an improvement on Holland though.

Loyal promoter of HB Magpies (2004) to the bitter end!!!!!

Lol Cory Jane's probably the reason J Savea keeps starting. Old Boys club at its finest.

@canes4life Haha, but it fits so well in their appointment policy, doesn't it? Not appointing the best, but just from within. After all, that's how he got that assistant role so quickly after just one season as assistant with the Wellington Lions.
I've said it before, but NZR should have tried to get Ozich a gig at a NZ franchise. Now just hoping that - after his two(?) years at the Force - someone is smart enough to bring him back to NZ. Brings much more to the table than Jane, Bleyendaal, Ellison and some other former players in similar roles in NZ without much coaching experience and results.
-
Jordie at 12 might be the most important selection move for several years.
It would be very handy if he could be outstanding there. He could be like a more skillful SBW.
-
@arhs If the AB coaches hadn't fucked him around a bit by playing him at first five and wing, we might have seen this move sometime last year.
I'd rather see 12. Jordie; 15 Havili - than vice-versa. Though if it comes off it will doubtless be Jordie and Jordan in those jerseys.
