    @Canes4life I would think Moorby to wing will be a good thing. As you say we have a few average wingers, and it has amused me reading some in forums saying that Naholo should be on field, I think he is the most average of them.

    Canes need to rest their 4 ABs. Do they risk them all except Aumua (unless Coles back) next week after MP improved performance. Then we have at least 4 tough games. It could be 6 but unlikely

    I would but the other option is to make sure this game is won and throw say the chiefs away game. Or Blues then be at full strength for the last home game and the finals

    Aside from Aumua our ABs have been arse. Time to give others a crack

    @Canes4life Totally agree if anything might wake them up and realise how shot their actually playing.

    The article below states that last night was Harry Godfrey's last game for the Hurricanes this year because of Under 20 commitments. I assume that also rules out Peter Lakai for the remainder of the season.

    If Aiden Morgan goes down we are in trouble. Cameron is done for the season by the sounds and despite the Hurricanes commenting on their post last week that Love would be back training, we still haven't seen him.

    @Canes4life Barrett would move to first I assume if Morgan and Love are both out

    SR teams would be allowed exemptions to retain U20 players due to squad injuries. There are quite a few 1st 5 options for the NZ U20s to make that decision easier. I'm sure the Crusaders want to keep Hotham too.

    @Bovidae it sounds like from that article that Holland and the Canes have no plans of keeping Godfrey from Under 20s duties even if they are struck with another injury to Morgan.

    When's TJP expected back? He's played at 10 for the Canes before.

    @Stargazer after making great progress early in the season it’s gone a bit quiet on TJ. He’s running out of time to make it back but who knows, we may see him soon.

    It would be a hard job to come back into 10 for him, rather than 9, after months off

    Does Tevita Mafileo prefer tighthead or loosehead? Is he signed for next year?

    @Tim His contract duration hasn't been published, so I've no idea.

    @Tim not sure about Mafileo’s signing but he’s one the Canes will want to lock down. He’s 25 which is young for a prop and he can play both sides to a high standard which is considered gold these days.

    I reckon he's the type of player they should try and keep to. He's actually a good scummager etc , so plenty of pluses to keeping him.

    @Canes4life Guess that means he won’t the Canes head coach.

    Playing conspiracy theorist here I wonder if the Canes head coach has already been chosen as Gibbes doesn’t want to work with him?

    Haha Mikey, or wonder if he just wants to go hame to Te Awamutu like he says.
    Am I the only innocent on here who doesn't try to find twists to everything?? And I know mate you weren't being serious (I hope)

    Gibbes' comments seem to imply that his family isn't with him in Wellington. That's a tough situation.
