Chiefs v Hurricanes

@Winger Moorby doesn’t have much of a kicking game so is more suited to the wing. Love will definitely be fullback when he eventually returns.
I hope we get some players back soon otherwise our season is over.
Moorby kicked very well in one game. Maybe vs Brumbies. But otherwise his kicking has been absent. Or he's been only so-so. He prefers running to kicking mostly though even when kicking is clearly the better option. Except for the Brumbies? match. So he can do it but rarely does. Shame as who knows when love is returning
Agree on players returning. Esp hookers. Otherwise we will easily lose our next 3 games. A poor line-out (as we have been in 2 matches) = poor results against the top sides

@antipodean Who would you pick at 10 for the ABs?
... Beauden's form this weekend hints at competition now he's taking the ball to the line again. May that continue.
It'll have to continue against sides that actually put pressure on him.
He's always looked a million bucks when given time and space.
That's why I think he's best suited at fullback - the time and space suits him.

Ooh boy howdy that was a soggy one.
Yeah, the TV coverage didn't show how heavy the rain was in the 1st half, especially. Combine that with the wind and it was a game for the forwards.
I thought that the Chiefs won this game in the 1st half, playing into a strong wind. Morgan has no length in his kicks, which meant that the Chiefs won the kicking duel, and therefore the battle for territory.
This reminded of the game between these teams a few years earlier played in even worse conditions.

@Canes4life Moorby is a very good player. Does the little things very well plus has some speed. Runs decent lines which is why I don’t necessarily mind him at fullback. Reminded me a little of how Howlett used to play fullback.
Love is a natural fullback so should return to that position, but Moorby goes alright there too.
The problem is at 10. It’s not just the kicking too.

I agree but I wouldn’t mind Moorby on the right wing when Love returns. He kind of reminds me of Jane, has speed, a good fend and is strong for his size, pretty sound under the high ball aswell.
I think the Chiefs game was a little out of the norm. The Canes are not normally left short in the kicking department but with Love and Cameron injured, Barrett unavailable and Godfrey with the Under 20s we kind of ran out of options.
