Vote for you Canes MOTM here - https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/6550/hurricanes-motm-vs-blues
I went Lakai, Love and Roigard. Special mentions to Moorby, Proctor and Higgins who did well stepping in to Jordie's shoes.

It looked to me that Telea didn't ground the ball for his try. Did anyone else notice that?

Well have to say fellas, waking up today, I still feeling good about game. There was so much to like in how Canes went about the game, and do sense we just maybe getting a good bit of depth? Little bit of worry at 10 (Morgan woories me) but Riley was good at 12 and can play 13, Billy Procor is best 13 in the country, wings are good, Love is playing so bloody well, and with Godfrey and Moorby able to cover there it's good. Forwards are where I most pleased though,tighties look prettty good and loosies are bloody good! 3 good 0s behind that? Will do me! (
I know I know it's early and they can still implode, but as a Canes man I enjoy good times when I can! -

It would be ridiculously marginal if he didn't. Watched it a couple of times and not sure what you're not seeing.

We had the talent last year but our poor 2 head coaches let the side down. They were clueless and only some great individual talent carried the team through. Too early yet but it shows what a big difference coaches make
Love was poorish for Wellington last year. Now he looks again like a future AB. Moorby and Naholo are playing great rugby too.
Proctor was good last year but better this year. Higgins and Lakai were both almost ignored last year. Lakai started then was dropped completely. Why? There were rumours about Higgins attitude but this was likely a coaching issue
Another big improvement is in the forwards. Thankfully Gibbes decided to step down and Jamie seems to be a better coach than player. We have often had superstar backs but now the forwards look the goods too. I can't remember a better forward pack ever for the Canes
But any way too early to tell but looking good so far.

The only concern for me was how close it finished up. Esp after the bad luck the Blues had. Esp losing their FB who seemed in great form before he went off
Part of this was due to Camerons form. He can play a great 80 minutes but seems to at times lose focus during games. Hopefully this can be sorted as really there is no one else (except maybe Barret). Love should focus on FB. Godfrey needs more game time at first
It's one area the Canes need to sort out. Camerons play. And game time for his backup

I guess it's one of those things in sport. Maybe it's just me seeing things but the last replay of the try looked as though the ball didn't touch the ground. His forearm etc did, but I am not sure the ball did. If Telea was being tackled at the time they would have looked a lot closer at it I reckon.
