Highlanders v Hurricanes
-
@kiwiwomble Far too many Josh’s in that team for my liking 😂
-
-
@mikey07 No worries as we have still got Ardie and S Scrafton (at least for the twenty minutes or so before he gets injured again). I'm picking they will be throwing heaps to R Prinsep at the back as he has to be in the team for additional reasons apart from his leadership.
-
what is PU-J not doing well enough? Impressed me from what I saw of him. Didn't think NZ was that overrun by quality midfielders...
-
@nostrildamus Yeah but the coaches love there next best thing in Proctor maybe trying to justify why he had a 5 year Canes contract.
-
@nostrildamus His ABs spot must be in serious jeopardy if he is unable to oust Proctor from the starting position in the Horrorcanes.

Interesting regards AB13: while they play Goodhue at 12, PU-J is only competing against ALB perhaps, RIOane seems to have some distrib/vision issues? (I must have forgotten someone)..surely Ennor is not likely given he is still coming back from injury and green?
-
Completely confused as to why PUJ remains on the bench. He outplayed or matched every opponent he came up against last year and the thanks he gets is a seat on the pine? These coaches really know how to knock a young players confidence.

Brown said neither Alaimalo nor Milner-Skudder were in the selection picture for the Hurricanes game, with Alaimalo “unwell” and a few weeks away from playing. “He's still a few weeks off coming back in and being at his best,” Brown said. “He's actually a bit unwell at the moment, so we're not able to select him.” -

To be fair he has been decidedly average so fat yhis year though, and perhaps that may have something to do with the 9-10 combo. Be loody hard to shine outside them!

So I don't have to watch it does he make any sense on his selections.

Fuck it I watched it nothing much there I like Goosen,and Scrafton in there ahead of Savea and Blackwell.
-
@dan54 yeah but Proctor hasn’t exactly been amazing. In fact Umaga-Jensen has probably shown more offensively than Proctor, he’s just not seen as a Holland favourite within the Hurricanes camp so therefore remains on the bench.

Ahh well. Looking forward to seeing Freedom carve it up.

Leger starting. Love debut on the bench.
Negatives: Flanders again on the bench instead of starting; PU-J on the bench and Proctor starting.
Positives: Rakete-Stones getting an opportunity, replacing Armstrong on the bench; no James Blackwell and Julian Savea!
IWL has the sole Magpies starting spot this week. We should just be happy they squeezed Rakete-Stones AND Flanders on the bench.
