Crusaders vs Canes
-
<p>Oh you mean the time when I said Ardie was 6 ft 2, when he is infact 6 ft 2. Get over it mate. Or get some glasses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stop being but hurt. The Canes are on top. Ardie is playing good rugby. He can improve for sure and I hope the Canes get the job done.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Im not sure what orgasmic means to you mate but you must get off looking at a dead rat if you think my comments are on "orgasmic level". Just defending a player that has been the dominant 7 throughout this years comp. If you can't see that you have rocks in your head.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Peace out!!</p> -

<p>Back the truck up......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You said you are 6 ft 2 and he is taller ? I'm struggling to keep up, all this height fluctuation can't be good for his spine especially given how physical Rugby is these days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do have glasses ( contacts too which I favour on sunny days so as to wear shades with them, even Dads have images to try and maintain ) so I don't think that's an issue, they do make me look quite smart actually, people often assume I'm some kind of IT whiz when I wear them. Perhaps I've been getting my metric system messed up, if that is the case then I might well be 6 foot 4 which would be nice. Has a real ring to it, full of muscles just like the song too, you should read my fitness thread.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What does "but hurt" mean ? I can assure you I'm into women, not blokes. Dead rats I'll leave to the cats, no shortage of them on the back section.</p> -
<p>Hold the Phone!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am 6 ft 2 and he is probably the same height, maybe a touch taller but the way you were going on sounded like he was bordering on the same height as a fetis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't realise it was a crime to back the players that you thought were worthy of being selected for their country. I back Ardie with a higher passion than other blokes running around the footy field because I was fortunate enough to play against him and along side him a few years ago and though being a few years younger than myself he still comfortably won the game against us and for us single handedly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He is starting to show that same form in Super Rugby and even though he wasn't as dominant the other night against the Crusaders he has shown that raw potential to be a Super talent (evident against the Highlanders and Waratahs this year) and a key cog in the Canes franchise and All Black rugby moving forward. Il say it now he will be the greatest Canes forward by the end of his career and I hope he can lead us to a few titles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Right now though I can fully admit that he has his work ons and he is not the full package and will probably never be perfect, however he will certainly be around for a long time and he will only get better as he grows into a more adult frame.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wish I could say the same about his bro.</p> -
<p>It's not a crime at all to back player X over player Y for whatever reason. This place would be nothing if members didn't have their favourites but I think it's the blind assumption that Bones is a Matt Todd loving Cantab ( he's not ) from you merely cos he criticised Saveas game that might have irked some people on here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think Savea is pretty special but maybe we're all a bit "kiwi" in that we tend not to go over the top like you sometimes do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Greatest Canes forward ? given most of the "greats" are/were backs this is definitely possible.</p> -

<p>Haha the first 20 minutes the Crusaders didn't touch the ball so my point is invalid. Brilliant.<br><br>
Imagine if everyone backed players with such blind passion just cos they almost touched them one day.</p>

<p>I have vivid memories of lunchtime games of hold and tackling someone who went on to become a Super 12 champion with the Crusaders ( well, more a case of him tripping over me but he still went down ). Despite me telling everyone who listened how amazing he was he never became an AB. Unbelievable.</p> -

You just made me realise I even went to the same school as Ardie. In Christchurch of course. In the 80s. -
<p>I'm just astounded to read Caners actually played. I didn't pick that at all. </p>

<p>Don't be ridiculous. Ardie didn't go to school he was genetically constructed from DNA of Michael Jones, Richie McCaw, Pinetree Meads and Stephen Adams ( that's where he gets the height from )</p> -

Tough call eh. My memory struggles going back to the nineties. Rodders? Depends how much longer Coles sticks around. I'm surprised he's 29! -

<p>With all due respect to some bloody honest campaigners the bar isn't set particularly high. JC deserves a mention. Bull Allen, Norm Hewitt and Filo Tiatia were pretty inspirational for awhile but there's not many others that make ya gasp in awe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loads more options in the backs though.</p> -

<p>Pretty much have to be Jerry, Rodders or Dane Coles already?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Second line of Hore, Tialata, Thrush, Mulletman.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Probably someone (or several) obvious ones I'm overlooking?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pickings seem a bit thin. Ardie might already make the all-time Canes eight!</p> -
<p>Jerry Collins, Rodney So'oialo were handy forwards?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dane Coles looks set to have a half decent career?</p> -

<p>Currently the canes forward with the greatest impact on their success is Smiley Barrett. Specifically his cock and balls.</p> -

They're like the reverse Crusaders, who would have Ralph and Hamilton in their greatest 8 backs.

<p>Hey...we can field World Cup winning All Black Zac Guildford on the wing if we want!</p>

<p>Luckily for our greatest back we can smugly just pick Danny Boy and not think too hard beyond that. :)</p> -
