@Canes4life said in 2021 Hurricanes:
@mikey07 lol where are you getting those stats from? Love is 90kg, 1.83cm and McClutchie is 1.74cm 85kg.
That’s what I found by googling it

@Stargazer That’s a Wainui High education for you only went there to eat my lunch and play Rugby 😂

@Canes4life said in 2021 Hurricanes:
@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.
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.
-
@MN5 looks like one to with that afro.
-
@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.
-
@KiwiMurph Yeah I suppose they would have to call more then a few in the team that

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

@Canes4life Yeah why not the AB’s tried it

"Jason Holland is said to be looking for a slow, hardworking but mediocre midget to replace him."

@mikey07 said in 2021 Hurricanes:
@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.

With Prinsep down with a calf injury that will see him miss at least the first round of Super Rugby, the Magpie was named to start in the Hurricanes final pre-season fixture against the Highlanders in Alexandra today.

Went to see a pic of his nose from his IG, turns out he has been hitting the gym hard in the off season.

@mofitzy_ He is a hard man too - in the sea in Wellington

Jonah Lowe tagged @drugfreesportnz in the comments haha.
LOL. That is gold.

Nooooooo!! Imagine if Blackwell suffered a season ending injury...our whole season would be over....please please!

-
@stargazer I thought he looked decent last year until his opportunities dried up. As for the canes? Not going to be pretty
-
I think a problem for the Canes is that TJP was a dominant figure in their backline, which hid the many weaknesses of JGB last year. Now, the halfbacks also need to step up and provide some direction.
-
@bovidae the Canes have a fairly solid squad other than their halves so JGB simply needs to step up or the Canes could face a fairly miserable 2021 campaign.
