@Nepia you don’t but not starting your best 10 would be down right stupid. Godfrey is already better than who you have at the Magpies.
No he's not, our best 10 guided us to a Shield win and a whisker from winning the NPC. Your favouritism of Godfrey doesn't change that fact even if his ceiling is higher and he may be our best sometime in the future.
-
@Nepia he’s already better, he’s got a Super contract not an MLR contract.
-
@Canes4life said in Hurricanes 2024:
@Nepia that’s the whole point. Give him a shot and he’ll be better.
The Canes can give him a shot and see if he's better if they want.

Morgan's got one and even you've finally admitted he's shit after fluffing him in his early days.
-
@Nepia lol this is going around in circles. I find it bizarre you would rather give a MLR player keys to the team over a Super player.
-
@Nepia I never fluffed Morgan as being the next big thing, I think you’re getting confused with Love and now look at him. You guys couldn’t stop harping on about McClutchie and now look where he is. Moana Pasifika don’t even want the poor bloke.
Anyway, I’ll just let you watch as Godfrey finally helps the Magpies reach their potential.

Godfrey has played a few games of Super Rugby, he's not a nailed on starter, McClutchie has led the Bay to success over a number of years and has way more experience as an on on field general than an untested young 10.
It would stop going round in circles if you just stopped telling us who we should and shouldn't select because it suits your piece of shit franchise.
-
@Nepia such a piece of shit franchise aye (as they happily look down on your franchise from top of the log).
Haha so much success with all those titles you’ve won. Give me a break… or don’t because your lot have broken enough things recently.

They're one spot above my shit franchise, maybe don't celebrate yet.
Knocking out Wellington, and winning (and breaking) the shield, and not spending over our means like other unions is success enough me.
-
@Nepia the Shield moves around all the time. True success is winning titles and finishing the job when it matters.
Atleast our lads aren’t the most hated province in NZ.
Also, who calls their own franchise shit. Crack up.
The Canes and Lions will be fine, they are financially poor atm because they’ve just invested in the best sports training facility in NZ which is already bearing fruit not only for the Canes atm but the Phoenix and other teams (Lions championship in 2022) that train there.

I wasn't calling them shit I was just parroting your words back to you but if you think you've scored an internet win for that then you do you.
-
some funny sh!t @Canes4life going one outs with all the angry HB weirdos, yous need to stop coming at him, the bro never backs down haha
-
@BerhamporeNinja mate I understand never backing down though, sometimes you think if I don't reply they will think they won or something Haha. I am same sometimes then think shit it's only someone under a pseudo on the net etc.
And @gt12 mate never think what you read in posts in here has anything to with reality of running rugby or how it is run and should in anyway decide make up of boards etc Though I do kind of agree I not sure about representative etc on NZRU. -

I think you will find that the NZCIS is a privately owned organisation and all users there are tenants who pay for the use of the fabulous facilites. I have heard whispers that the costs of using the place might be rather expensive but to use the best you cannot expect to pay $2.00 Shop prices!
-
@Higgins I understand that it’s far too expensive for a team like the Lions so there are whispers they are heading back to their old training base in Newtown for this year’s NPC.
-
@Canes4life I had heard that too but was reluctant to let it out of the bag on here. Even if WRFU have a longish contract it would be pointless them staying at NZCIS if they could not honour it financially and putting themselves further in the poo. If true hopefully common sense from both parties would prevail. If they bleed too much further cash they might be forced to drop out of the NPC and be consigned to play in the Heartland Championship!!!!!!!!!
Certainly a major fall from the halcyon early days of Super Rugby when their local affiliated Clubs received annual distributions of anything between 15 and 20 grand from Hurricanes financial surpluses for a short period. -

Hey, I'm not a weirdo.
Angry, maybe?
In a shitfighting mood because I just finished my one big week of work each year - definitely.
