@Chris I think this is good to start identifying areas that need work now, and look at ways to help move these kids along.

Yeah I agree it seems smart to me with an eye on the 2027 WC maybe.

@Duluth surely Papali'i starts. Choat maybe on the bench instead of Segner?

@Canes4life you nailed it. Zarn to 15. Akira back at 6. Beehre on the bench in place of McWhannell

@KiwiMurph maybe it’s because they don’t have photos of the guys in their new kit. If they wear it against Moana next week that would be stupid.
Hopefully they bring out the retro kit, would make sense against the Blues.
I swear they’ve worn Black far more than yellow this year. It’s annoying.
-
@Canes4life one thing I really dislike is the use of away kits when it's not a jersey clash.
Seeing the Canes in black is weird.
Teams should be wearing their main kit for 90% of games as far as I'm concerned.

@foobaNZ yeah 100%. It’s pretty poor form for them to wear black this week aswell. Hopefully they bring out the heritage jerseys but I feel like they would have promoted that if they were. Looks like the Blues are wearing theirs though so you never know.

Blacks their away Jersey isn't it
I like both jerseys. Unlike some in the past
And surely it's best to wear their heritage jersey at home. And promote it to encourage the fans to turn up
