@canefan he only got the gig because Plumtree moved into the All Blacks. Coach by default really and now he’s got f all experience around him.
Funny that you saw and heard from CEO Avan Lee almost every week when we were doing well vs now where he’s hardly made a peep in the last year.
They seem like a bunch of tugboats behind the scenes.

I wasn't totally convinced by Plumtree either, Boyd got pushed out by some gentlemen's deal. Might be time for a culture change
Not

@canefan haha no thank you.
I think the culture from a player point of view is fine. It’s more of a case of cleaning out the administration of the Canes and getting people in there that will improve the organisation rather than hinder it through poor recruitment and coaching.

@bovidae Cron is still there but I don’t think he should be. They should have done a complete clean out when Holland was appointed.
Holland was never chosen as the HC in the first place. They should have flushed the whole setup. But the timing was poor, right before the season was to start, the board were backed into a corner. I suppose now he is coach, keeping him felt like the path of least resistance

The Hurricanes have named two teams for Saturday's 2.15pm game. A Hurricanes Hunters team and a Regional XV, which seems to be mostly a team of of players that didn't make the Hurricanes WTG. So basically a Hurricanes 2nd XV against a Hurricanes 3rd XV. Lincoln McClutchie just made bench of the 3rd XV.
Hunters:
Regional XV:Edited to add that you can conclude from this that Evans, Walker-Leawere and Kane Le'aupepe are injured.
-
@stargazer good news, seemed very odd not to have him on the bench.

@yeetyaah said in Hurricanes 2021:
@stargazer holy fucking shit, McClutchie involved with the Hurricanes? Maybe they can recognize talent within their regions?
McClutchie was in the Hurricanes Under 18 (2018) and Hurricanes Under 20 (2019). They've obviously made their mind up subsequently they don't want him.
-
@number-10 I heard he was offered a Hurricanes development contract for last year, but he went to Japan on a full contract instead (don't know whether they offered the development contract before or after he signed the Japanese contract). I think that is a more likely reason.
