    Fantastic game by the Canes. They are going to take some beating.

    Hopefully Roigard isn’t as bad a we think but I think he’ll be gone for the season.

    Just hope Roigard's injury is not as bad as first looks.

    A mate dislocated his kneecap last weekend. Tore tendons as a result, so it can be a long recovery. Hopefully not that bad for Cam.

    If it's a dislocated kneecap then he could be out for about 8 weeks. Not the best news for the Hurricanes but he should be back for the playoffs.

    I don't even want to think about that game. Holy shit it was bad, Patchell dropped a performance worse than anything Mitch Hunt ever served up - and that is saying something.

    Folau Fakatava about the only positive, I thought amongst that shit show he was really good.

    Good news, a great performance and another win.

    Less good news, Roigard's injury.

    I had a feeling a toweling was coming. But, tried to talk this into being a banana skin game for the Canes. It certainly wasn't. The most disappointing aspect to the game was the shoddy attitude to defence and breakdowns in the first 30. Just really untidy. Patchell's honeymoon seems over. His flat passing at the line created some opps in the first few games. Now it seems easily read. For all of Gilbert's physical attributes, he lacks the ability to do much at speed. Struggles to change direction and gets found out in D. Fakatava was great. Harmon tried really hard. Naholo out Tavatavanawai'd Tavatavanawai. Some of our guys could develop well around talented veterans. They are judt having to carry too much.

    Tyrel is a well spoken lad, for some reason I expected him to sound like a meathead.

    The one silver lining for the Canes with Cam’s injury is that TJ gets plenty of opportunity to push his case to be the AB starter again and then we have a young gun in Jordi Vijoen waiting in the wings. Not all doom and gloom.

    Such a stupid rule you can jump from out of the field of play, and take ball back in

    The plane of touch must be the most confusing area of law in the game. So easy to simplify IMO.

    They should just copy the cricket law.

    Ball is out if it touches the ground or something touching the ground over the sideline, or it touches a player that started from outside the field of play.

    Simple, easy and done.

    I think for consistency they'd have to address the ability of a player out of the field of play to score a try too.

    I think the point of that particular law is that the moment the ball is touched it is simultaneously a try and in touch, so it is defendable in principle.

    I refereed for 13 odd years and never struck it once. I don't think it is big on the list of priorities.

    Remember those days when we were kids and one team was so far ahead they'd swap the backs and forwards for the second half? ...

    Didn't see the game. Hopefully injury not serious.

    Hurricanes coach Clark Laidlaw was delighted with the Hurricanes’ performance but admitted that Roigard’s injury put a dampener on the evening.

    “Injuries are part of the game,” he said. “It’s hugely disappointing for him, not just us.

    “We're not really sure what he's done, but we'll get that assessed.

    “He went to hospital to get X-rays and get it checked, so we'll find out tonight or tomorrow morning.

    “It’s always a little bit sad to see one of your best players pick up what looks like a serious injury.

    “...it’s maybe a patella tendon, but takes a lot for for Cam to stay down. He's a pretty tough bugger, so he was obviously sore.

    “Hopefully it's not as serious as it would look like.”

    Far out that frickin ref should face some kind of censure for wrecking the season of our most gun player. He definitely got in Roigard's path.
