@Tim Desperate times call for desperate measures.

[Machpants]

Not that desperate

[Canes4life]

@Machpants certainly not.

It might be if JGB is ever ranked No. 1 first five at the Hurricanes.

[sparky]

Given he was identified as a potential All Black First-Five yesterday, I wonder if we will see Jordie Barrett at 10 for the Canes next year.

If JGB is all we've got I'd give Jordie a couple of runs in 10 just to see what happens

[Canes4life]

@canefan Can't be any worse.

[mikey07]

@canefan Certainly not after last nights performance, we definitely need a good 10 and fast

[Canes4life]

Yeah JGB was horrible last night. All over the place with his passing and kicking. Massive worry for the Canes.

I expect better from someone that has been in Super Rugby for three years now.

[Canes4life]

Hopefully, someone emerges:

@Canes4life If Lima's club are keen to offload him because they think he is a bust then we should try to make that happen. Get him home, back on a kiwi diet and lots of hours on the stair master and our problems will be less

[mikey07]

Someone brought up in the Comments section of that Article the possibility of Debreczeni if reports are to be heard he hasn’t got a contract next year what everyone’s thoughts on him?

[Canes4life]

@canefan yeah a fit Lima is All Black quality, something JGB and F Smith are not.

He's off to Japan, otherwise the Chiefs would re-sign him.

[Canes4life]

I think the Canes are in trouble next season as far as playmakers go. Shame as the rest of the squad looks strong.

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life Yeah aye, finally have a decent tight 5 but no playmaker. Rats.

[Canes4life]

Classic Canes, our timing is always off. I think we are still strong enough to reach Semis and above though, however that will only happen if we keep our main forwards fit i.e. Coles, Ardie, Lomax etc.

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life Don't forget the locks. I reckon Scrafton will show some real improvement at the Canes. If he steps up and stays fit, Canes could have a pretty decent scrum.

Not with JGB at the helm. Our only hope, if there is no major signing, is that the proposed JB at 10 experiment is a roaring success

@canefan

JBarrett at 10 would solve a lot of problems about having their best players available all on the park too. Personally, I don't think he'll work out there, but it might be a better option than what's available
