It must be so frustrating for him.

Fucking calf muscles injuries shit of an injury they keep coming back.
I notice Akira has also got another calf injury after last seasons one. -

Sad for Jordan if thats the case but its ok as we have halfpenny to cov ....bugger

@Lancaster-Park Havili to his proper position at FB, McLeod and Aumua in the midfield with Crotty and Fihaki providing cover. Yeah, you guys will be fine.
-
@Lancaster-Park yeah and Fihaki has many flaws.

Penney said they'd prefer not to move Havili
Havili is probably more useful to the team at fullback right now. I would argue he'd be more useful at ten until Burke returns too. There's solid options at 12

@Canes4life Fair point in regards to Fihaki, but in fairness to him, he hasn't really had a decent run in the side, so maybe if he gets a decent run, we might see a better player?
Dallas McLeod was laughed at by everyone on here including myself , but got a decent run last year and has turned into a solid midfielder/wing for them and even managed to get himself an AB cap. Same goes for Tom Christie who no one rated when he first came onto the scene, now is a regular starter for them who is the leader of their defence as he got more time in the saddle.
Who knows, maybe the same will happen for Fihaki?
-
From an article yesterday it sounds like the preferred fullback is Springer. He has a lower error rate than Fihaki so that makes sense
Fihaki seems like a winger who is a good cross field kick target. He drops too many kicks to be a specialist fullback IMO

Yeah Fihaki to me has always looked like a wing trying to play FB,his best games for Canterbury and the Crusaders have been on the wing especially the right wing.
He seems to lose confidence at FB. -
@Crazy-Horse looked fine at training
-
Jordan definitely gone for season. Shoulder re construction coming up.
