<p>It never happened because they played like shit.</p> -

What game did you watch. The Canes never looked likely really. Perenara was back to his usual self, botching his clearances. Marshall was no threat what so ever at the back and I hope he stays out of this team moving forward. J Savea was back to his lazy ways and did f all. Jane was average. To top it off the centre pairing was a mistake from the start. Aso should have been 2nd five and Halaholo should have started at centre. <br><br>
In the forwards Shields looked like an ordinary club player. I rated him when he first came onto the scene but his skillset is way off. He consistantly throws wayward passes and he drops the ball cold on far too many occasions. <br><br>
The three players that can hold their heads high were Coles, Goodes and A Savea. Probably the only three that deserve to be picked for the A.Bs at this rate. <br><br>
So disapointing considering the performance of last week. I guess its all too predictable though. Canes always get too cocky and they always let themselves down.<br><br>
I have to give credit where credits due, the Sharks were far too good and they played the perfect blueprint in beating the Canes. Completely strangled us and took their opportunities superbly.<br><br>
Onwards and upwards. Hopefully we can get back to the Tin and beat the Reda with a bonus. That Highlanders game after the bye could be season defining by the looks.</p></blockquote>

I agree with all of this :)<br><br>
Great passion bro -
<p>heard a headline on the radio that upto 5 canes players supposedly broke team curfew after Sharks loss...cant see anything on the usual outlets like NZH & Stuff, but then they are busy telling us they are joining forces and some chick on TV shagged some dude.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>edit found this...which is nothing</p>

<p>Players we probably cant afford to lose are Goodes, Coles, A Savea and Barrett. Anyone else is replaceable. Personally I hope one of them was Perenara because I really want to see TTT get a chance.</p>
-
<p>When I die I hope the Canes lower me into my grave so they can let me down one last time!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What a way to F$%k up our season. A pretty straight forward game against the Reds is now going to be a struggle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If we lose this one you can pretty much shut the gate on 2016.</p> -
<p>Look on the bright side C4L. We might see a few more guys taking the field for their club teams on Saturday. Having said that I guess those that have been playing club rugby might now be required to suit up for the Canes on Saturday night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thinking outside the square some of the non playing personnel do have a strong connection with Durban, it might just be some of them out catching up with some of their mates. Can anyone recall the last time a backroom/support person was stood down for such a misdemeanour? </p> -
<p>yeah you'd certainly hope it isn't any of the frontline players, and more so with the media attention the Warriors have had of late.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess also knowing the full story will help too, it may have been they were due to be home by say 11 and a group of them rock in at 11.30...maybe a cab didn't turn up, maybe they were having a meal and the service was slow? What are the chances the media find out about the breach of curfew without knowing if there was valid reaons?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That said, the fact it is making 'news', you'd have to assume it is a decent breach of their team rules?</p> -
<p>We may finally catch a glimpse of a rare Hurricane breed in Renton and Cridge who haven't been seen since signing for the Canes at the start of 2014. Renton has been playing 7 for OBU in Wellington club rugby, I didn't realize he was an open-side.</p>

<p>It could be very minor, however the expression on Dane's face and his assumption that the team will look very different than normal suggests it is severe or Savea as some would put it. </p> -

<p>Renton didn't make the NZ team for the Oceania Cup or for the JWC so I assumed he was injured again. Has he actually been stringing a few games together?</p> -

<p>There is no mention of him not being considered because of injury in the article announcing the team on the NZRFU website.</p>

<p>Maybe he is not rated by the selectors of those teams?</p> -
<p>I think he has only played 2 games of Club Rugby since returning from injury so probably just needs a bit of time to return to full fitness.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Id say the selectors have not seen enough of him to take a gamble on him for the Jnr RWC. </p> -
<p>They did not see him play at all the season he was awarded his first Hurricanes contract as he was missed the entire season for his school team through injury. That did not count against him them and this time he has managed to play some games at club level for them to gauge his ability against men, something that cannot be said for Alex Fidow who has not yet taken the field for the Oriental-Rongotai premier team.</p>
-
<p>It will be interesting to see how good he actually is then. He must have quite a high skill set.</p>
<p>Fidow came off the bench in round 5. I only know that as that game was televised on Grass Roots Rugby.</p> -

<p>There is no mention of anyone being injured, though and I'm pretty sure someone must be (Peter Umaga-Jenson, for example).</p>
