You have to feel for McClutchie in this article bringing in Orbyn as injury cover when he’s not a 10, the management seem like they don’t have a clue if we can all see it how can they not.
I thought Leger was added as midfield cover. The f@ct that he covers 10 adequately is a bonus.
But isn’t that why Ray Nu’a was added for the pre season to cover midfield?
The press release from CM had him joining as a midfielder and I seem to recall the same from the Canes.
Might even be further back in this thread -
@mikey07 lol where are you getting those stats from? Love is 90kg, 1.83cm and McClutchie is 1.74cm 85kg.

1.83 and 1.78cm? Haha, classic mistake! That would make them smaller than 2cm! Replace the cm with m and you're correct, although those numbers from McClutchie are old, so he may be a bit heavier now.
Even if correct, then he's only 2cm smaller and 2kg heavier than Mo'unga, who's an outstanding 10, so McClutchie is definitely not too small or fragile for Super Rugby as someone suggested earlier in the thread.
Oh, and Simon Hickey is also 174cm, and 83kg.

@Stargazer haha oops.
I think Lincoln has the goods to be a Super level first five and I prefer him to someone like Orbyn.
Hopefully he can find a little more consistency in his game during this year’s Mitre 10 Cup to force selection into one of the five NZ conferences.

That’s what I found by googling it

Its not only his physical qualities. He also seems a bit too nice. Maybe a bit soft on the emotional front. Fakatava is the other extreme. Maybe a bit too cocky. But too cocky can be calmed down a bit. Its a good quality although can lead to problems if its not handled right. Emotional soft is another issue

So who will they bring in? I hope we don’t persist with Orbyn Leger. Lincoln McClutchie might finally get a gig but I doubt it.

Sounds like a character out of Game of Thrones.
-
@Canes4life the article states the Leger looks likely to get a full time contract
-
@KiwiMurph Wow all this talk about how awesome he’s going to be blah blah...real good recruitment Ben I don’t know about anyone else but I’m quite pissed off with the whole situation.

Should be the obvious choice surely.

You clearly have only just learnt about Canes in the last few seconds.

A man can dream can't he?
