@Stockcar86 Or as a prop, replacing Fraser Armstrong?

The article on Stuff also says Laumape could be out until Nov.
sickening disrespect

Oh man, I remember he had about the biggest decline I have ever seen, from a very good All Black, to not even NPC reserve standard, really curious to see how he is now, rejuvenated from his over seas vacation or if he has declined even more - it will be comical.

@Nepia He's not that old, and looks in good shape in recent photos. I hope he plays well, he was excellent for the ABs.
Put him in the midfield and he might be great.
Wasn't there a lot of off field distractions caused by his missus?
I heard that. She didn't get on with the rest of the family? Duke of Sussex syndrome

I didn't mention his age at all, just his form. No idea if his on field form for half a decade was related to his missus.
The Canes have midfielders and outside backs in their squad who should be played before him.
Although I do need to edit my original post as I was focussed on midfield, as the Canes have lost two wings in recent weeks.

@Nepia There are only two games left to play and with the Canes citing poverty as the reason for releasing Carlos Spencer there can be very little justification in spending money they presumably need for other purposes on players they don't really need given they still have Vince Aso, Billy Proctor, Salesi Rayasi, Peter Umaga-Jensen, Kobus van Wyk, Jonah Lowe, Chase Tiatia and Wes Goosen all listed or have been used on the wing in their squad.

@mikey07 I was told Norm Hewett showed glimpses of class in his appearance for the Centurions on Saturday over in Wainuiomata. He must be in with a chance of a surprise recall in replacement for Armstrong given he is now the size of a good old fashioned prop. HIs last really good performance would be about the same time as J Savea's last one.

I just mentioned it because it's not like he's over the hill. Getting in an ex-AB in an injury crisis is a good move, doesn't mean he'll play ahead of those guys

To be fair he caused a lot of his own issues from what I heard, not just her.
Plus I don’t think she forced all that KFC down his throat.
