Hurricanes 2019 Discussion

@MN5 if you call backing one player over another feral then you must live a completely placid life.
I admit that I have always backed Ardie with passion because I could see from very early on in his career that he had the ability to be the best Openside in NZ. You Sam Cane fan boys got butt-hurt that someone else had a different opinion and continue to bring it up in nearly every post - thus the reasoning behind my natural defensiveness over the topic.
Most of the comments that I make on here about Ardie are to wind those people up that go on and on about Sam Cane.
Anyhoo enough of the rant - i'll just sit back with a cold one as Ardie proves me right over the next 12 months.

Hang on....hang on. You find a single post when I go on about Sam Cane....Sam Whitelock....or ANY Sam.....
Stupid name.

@MN5 nah pal, I might reach the limit of my broadband. 😆

@Canes4life can I ask a serious question please?
How old are you?
-
I think Sam Cane is a superb player. I wish him a swift and safe recovery back from his broken neck.
I agree with @Canes4life's basic point even if he puts it poorly. Ardie Savea was awesome in the back end of this year. If he stays fit and keep improving, he will be the best back row forward in New Zealand in 2019.

He'd have to continue improving a lot to overtake a fit Sam Cane. I say that as someone suitably impressed with the quality of Ardie's play in the absence of Sam.

The question is whether or not Sam Cane can make a full recovery. That injury looked pretty nasty and it may take him 5 or 6 games to get going again, that is if he even makes it back next year. Having both of them firing by the time the World Cup comes around is only a bonus and Ardie will probably take that impact player role with Cane more suited as a starter.

Hurricanes are sitting at 5158 members sold so far for 2019, does anyone know how that figure stacks up with other franchises around the country?
-
@Canes4life Sam Canes Chiefs have about 7000. Those fans sure love a quality openside

@Yeahtheboys except you will probably be left watching Karpik instead.
