Preseason - Highlanders v Hurricanes
-
Happy with the Landers so far. Ricky Jackson has surprised me. Patchell, Harmon, Nareki, CGB and DLB have been good.
-
Typical pre season game. So many mistakes and players pushing passes etc.
-
I’m real worried about our 10s aye. Morgan is garbage, Cameron looks crap. Give the young gun Godfrey a run.
-
PPP was hobbling before he was subbed. Hopefully for his sake he isn't injured again.
That's some mullet on Tele'a.
-
Hurricanes look like they are in a training run, not in a good way. Not committing to tackles fully, laboured running into contact and not fully committing to the breakdown.
I’m not too worried because pre-season results never mean anything but you’d expect a little bit more two weeks out from the start of the comp.
-
Flanders has f all impact to him for his size aye. He runs hard but literally makes no impact on contact. Obviously lacks power.
Brayden Iose looks much better at 8 for me.
-
Canes have far too many under 20s players out there. So young and dumb.
I don’t get the point in having such a big squad. Players in there that are clearly not going to ply for the Canes this year so why even bother.

To see who's ready to cover for inevitable injuries, when else do they get a chance to look at them?

Well played Landers, completely dominated the Canes today. I expect the Canes to look very different next week though and I hope we utilise a smaller squad. Having guys coming on every two seconds ruins any momentum.
-
Good smart play from a very young Highlanders team. The vast majority would only be only in their early 20s.

Good structure, certainly hit the rucks in a more organised way. First 30 the Canes were off their feet an awful lot.

UJ is one of the dumbest, and he's not got the excuse of youth

@Machpants he’s been dumb for a few years now. Never reached his potential that’s for sure and I hope he doesn’t get in the way of Higgins.
