@Canes4life Toala is just as green as Flanders and Kereu-Symes. All born in 1999, one year out of school and made their M10 Cup debut this year.
-
@Stargazer Flanders is in that development section because I know he is on a dev contract, doesn't mean he isn't green aswell. I don't think he will play unless we really need him.
In regards to Barrett being listed as a 12 - great news, the Canes need to play him there if we are serious about winning the title. Yes Laumape is a one man demo man, but when it comes to finals footy, having more play makers on the field the better off we will be I.e. B Barrett at 10, J Barrett at 12 and Marshall at 15 with guys like Proctor, Aso and Milner Skudder to add the x factor. Having Laumape in the finals doesn't work as the defensive system by a team like the Crusaders is just too good, especially down in that swamp they call AMI.

@Canes4life dunno why you’re mentioning milner skudder and winning the title in the same sentence

Just be thankful he's not jizzing over Ardie Savea for once. Ironic given the year he's had....
-
Ardie? The guy that’s worse than Sam cane?
-
@Yeahtheboys Ardie is hitting his prime and it is obvious to anyone with half a rugby brain that he is the future. Cane is old news pal.

You typify your point superbly. Well done, I pissed myself.
-
The irony in your statement when @Yeahtheboys provides such a compelling argument in the first place.

Yeah but @Canes4life you have a history of going completely rabid and feral if anyone has a go at your boy Ardie. I'm just surprised we haven't heard from you sooner when he was going so well. Did you not pay your broadband bill ?
-
@MN5 if you call backing one player over another feral then you must live a completely placid life.
I admit that I have always backed Ardie with passion because I could see from very early on in his career that he had the ability to be the best Openside in NZ. You Sam Cane fan boys got butt-hurt that someone else had a different opinion and continue to bring it up in nearly every post - thus the reasoning behind my natural defensiveness over the topic.
Most of the comments that I make on here about Ardie are to wind those people up that go on and on about Sam Cane.
Anyhoo enough of the rant - i'll just sit back with a cold one as Ardie proves me right over the next 12 months.

Hang on....hang on. You find a single post when I go on about Sam Cane....Sam Whitelock....or ANY Sam.....
Stupid name.
-
@MN5 nah pal, I might reach the limit of my broadband. 😆
-
@Canes4life can I ask a serious question please?
How old are you?
-
I think Sam Cane is a superb player. I wish him a swift and safe recovery back from his broken neck.
I agree with @Canes4life's basic point even if he puts it poorly. Ardie Savea was awesome in the back end of this year. If he stays fit and keep improving, he will be the best back row forward in New Zealand in 2019.

He'd have to continue improving a lot to overtake a fit Sam Cane. I say that as someone suitably impressed with the quality of Ardie's play in the absence of Sam.
-
The question is whether or not Sam Cane can make a full recovery. That injury looked pretty nasty and it may take him 5 or 6 games to get going again, that is if he even makes it back next year. Having both of them firing by the time the World Cup comes around is only a bonus and Ardie will probably take that impact player role with Cane more suited as a starter.

Hurricanes are sitting at 5158 members sold so far for 2019, does anyone know how that figure stacks up with other franchises around the country?
