Surprised to see a bunch of people Cane. I thought he was useless today. Missed tackles, gave away an idiotic penalty, guilty of ruck watching, zero link play and did he even attempt a jackal?
He’s a terrible 7 these days
Cane? For serious?
I’ve been given some grief for this take. So I went full anti-Fern and rewatched the game just now
I’m genuinely baffled by the thought that anyone thinks Cane played well - he didn’t carry at all ,
Five times actually.
he had one decent/ dubious turnover,
So a turnover on the tryline.
zero dominant tackles
LOL
He carried 5 times for 6m
Yes the turnover was a good one
Can you point me to these dominant tackles rather than a childish "lol"?
I'm not trying to be a dick here - I went back to rewatch his game last night because a bunch of people here said he played well. I tracked just Cane, watched his every engagement.
I genuinely cannot see what you saw.
Don't get me wrong, I really like Cane. Seems like a good guy. I was apoplectic when we dropped him for the SF in 2019. But I think he's a shadow of that player now. Yes he still has a hard shoulder. But that's really it. He doesn't carry (EFFECTIVELY), he doesn't link, he barely gets turnovers, and he has given away a number of poor penalties that the old Cane wouldn't have done.
I'm not even a Paps guy, I don't have an alternative. Heck, I'm not even saying we should drop him. I just can't fathom how that performance got him into the MOTM conversation.
I'm not in a position to rewatch the game right now. There's no question he was high visibility during the game making tackles and hitting rucks. I don't think it was a performance for the ages, or without inaccuracies, but when he makes tackles, people don't continue making metres.

A reflection of the other performances in the team ...?
I guess putting a fat red line through the whole backline shrinks the field...
