Hurricanes vs Sharks

@Stargazer Hey, I'm far from the only one calling our Blackwell as a midget (for a lock, he's a giant compared with most of the population), even Wellington fans are doing it.
I think it's all you setting off @Canes4life with your PUJ comments.
-
@Nepia none of the above actually. It's becoming a bit of a yawn fest that every time a Magpie player misses out on selection, whether that be in the Canes, under 20s etc, more often than not there seems to be some sort of anomosity against a Wellington player for being higher in the pecking order. I've lost count of how many times @Stargazer has posted on his frustration at a non selection of a Hawkes Bay player. On the other hand I appreciate the fact that you guys are passionate about the players from your region, I'm equally as passionate for the guys in Wellington to succeed, but surely aslong as the right person for the job starts then that should end all debate.
At the end of the day if a players deserves to be starting in a Canes, Chiefs, Blues .... jersey then so be it. If Toala ends up being better than PUJ, then good on the kid. It just means the Canes will be stronger and at the end of the day that's all that I care about.

@Canes4life I'd take your comments at face value and not as a bit of a troll if it wasn't for the fact that on other threads you yourself have complained about plodders in the Canes (often the same plodder we're complaining about). IIRC you've also advocated for many of the players that us Magpies fans have (IWL, McClutchie, Flanders etc).
Also you complain about @Stargazer being dismissive of PUJ's abilities when you've done the same for Toala despite being complimentary about him last year. At any rate they're both playing together for the Development team anyway.
Anyway, why shouldn't HB fans be disappointed when our players often struggle to get spots on the Canes but often get picked up by other squads or if we dominate schoolboy rugby and get no players in the secondary schools team? Personally I'd prefer they all played for the Chiefs, but the Canes are supposed to HB's home franchise.
Anyway, most of this kicked off because you called Cridge a lazy player which suggests you really haven't seen him play. Injured all the time, yep, lazy player when he actually plays, nope.

@KiwiMurph said in Hurricanes vs Sharks:
What a try.
Fassi is the man.
He’s fun to watch.
It’s scary that SA is starting to bring through more and more incredibly talented black players.

Christian Cullen goes its a shame, no Christian, full credit to the TMO for reviewing the try..WTA..
-
@Chris disappointing for the Canes, they actually had them on the ropes..
