@MN5 looks like one to with that afro.

[mikey07]

@Canes4life the article states the Leger looks likely to get a full time contract

[mikey07]

@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.

[KiwiMurph]

@mikey07 They have to talk up their own recruitment - they are hardly going to call him a dud.

[mikey07]

@KiwiMurph Yeah I suppose they would have to call more then a few in the team that

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.

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?

@delicatessen As Canes fans it seems that all we seem to do.

Why?

Surely it will be him as he's been with the squad. And started against the Chiefs at 1st. And I would give game time to Love at 1st next WE to see how he goes. But it will likely be Leger and JGB not Love.

[Bovidae]

Love is a 1st 5 who plays fullback while Leger is a 12/10 (in that order).

[Canes4life]

@Winger why? Because he isn’t even a first five. I’d rather see Jordie get a shot at 10 than someone who isn’t even Super level, let alone a playmaker.

#bringbackhowell

[mikey07]

@Winger Nothing against Leger but watching him play the first half against the Chiefs on Saturday I don’t think is a 10 sure he can be a stop game when required but not good enough to be one week in week out

[mikey07]

@Canes4life Yeah why not the AB’s tried it

Nice 👍

@Crucial I was just thinking...sometimes I do that how do you reckon Jason Robertson would go in a Canes jersey he looked pretty handy against Wellington in the time he was on?

I think I mentioned during NPC that I was quite impressed with him. Nothing flash but does the basics well and is a very good kicker from both hand and tee.
He may not have set the world alight as a young fella but has developed nicely as a capable pivot.
I don’t think he’d be out of his depth at Super level. (As a reserve)

Leger at least brings some Super rugby experience to the job.
