@Stargazer also isn't Farrell a loosehead and Rakate-Stones a tighthead or can they play both sides?
Sure it's not ideal to have a 20 year old loosehead like Numia in your ranks so young, however he has more than held his own and at times dominated opposition - showing exactly why he was ranked the no 1 school kid a few year's ago.
-
@Canes4life It's all in my list
-
@Stargazer haha got yah. If in doubt, refer to the list.

Maybe we could go over to Argentina and target there props sacrilege I know but they seem to be able to scrum maybe a couple few a year or 2 for the young brigade to learn off.
Don’t rate Eves at all neither JTA or even May or maybe we can raid the Saders academy 😂 -
Might not be the tallest lock but he is well spoken: https://www.radiosport.co.nz/on-air/darcy-and-goran/audio/james-blackwell-on-the-hurricanes-recent-win-over-the-rebels/

Interesting, he played for HOBM last week down here in Welly.
-
@Canes4life Wow that is a quick transfer then. Wondser why people change clubs during the season, especially if they are living in the town where they played club rugby last week.
I understand one other club in particular down here are sticklers for everything going by the rule book and are bound to be on the lookout if he suddenly reappears for HOBM. I understand that club cited a player off a video of a recent club match. It was noted that one of their own players pulled off three neck rolls but they did not bring that to their judiciaries attention. Those in glass houses should not be throwing stones. -
Is there a reason why Fletcher Smith is playing club rugby in Chch tomorrow with Geoff Cridge?

Yes.
-
@Crazy-Horse Hahaha no I just find it a bit strange as they both aren't Canterbury players (or are they now)
-
-
@Chris said in Hurricanes 2019 Discussion:
Both have Canterbury connections of course
Smith went to CBHS and Cridge originally from the area interesting they are not playing Club Rugby in their franchise regions. all the Crusader players not in the 23 or touring group play in Crusader regions.More accurately, Smith got poached from Nelson College by CBHS!
-
@Chris-B yeah let’s not get pickey 😀all for the greater cause CRUSADERS
And the Ta$man rise my 2nd fav M10 team by the way have come to power because they are working closely with the Crusaders and Canterbury to spread our talent and recruitment throughout our region so we can keep strong -
It sounds like Coles and Evans will be on the plane to South Africa but might not be quite ready for the Jaguares this week.
Will three games be enough for them to ready themselves for playoff football? Who knows, it will be a big boost having them back in our pack though.
-
@Canes4life 3 games will be enough for Coles IMO, he's that experienced. But Evans? I don't know
