Hurricanes v Highlanders
-
I think we have the ability to win and the team will have taken some really good things out of the game with the Saders, we kept it close for quite a while....but i think out injuries are going to take their toll, two more on the weekend, we'll be seeing our 10 outside back combo of the season

Any update on Nehe?
Last week it was mentioned he might debut against his old side
good question, havent seen anything yet but he wold be very useful.
just hope they dont rush him. the only thing worse than not having him out there would be have him out there for 15 minutes before he pulls something and we're into our bench again like last week

You do know who he is right? 15 minutes would be quite something.
Poor bugger could get hurt lying on the couch. -
@Kiwiwomble haha yeah let's not rush him back! As long as he's on the bench for the last game then all good. How NMS is that though to be signed as an injury replacement and spend the whole season injured.
Anyway, hope everyone is looking forward to the Josh Ioane show this weekend.

no NMS, still no Ioane...Gregory on the wing and "safe hands" at 15
@Bones who wold you prefer at 14, Gregory or Mckay?

Another 6:2 split on the bench.
i assume theyre thinking our one area of strength is the forwards...but in reality our back just end up burning out and thats when the difference in class to the canes backline is really going to show
I'm expecting a similar story to last week, close for 2/3 of the game and then that canes backline is just going to punch holes in us

@Kiwiwomble Everything changes once Smith is subbed.

no doubt he's world class but i dont think him being subbed is what lost it for us, he cant make up for a tiring/green/outclassed backline
the saders could bring Reece off the bench for gods sake

@Stargazer said in Hurricanes v Highlanders:
TBN is a great wing forward.
Fixed it for ya, old school naming
-
@Stargazer how long is Fakatava signed for?
-
@Canes4life Fakatava's contract duration was never published. His contract expires either this year or in 2021.
-
i havent actually give this much thought before, how much time have we got with smith? wouldn't be surprised to see him head off to make some money
-
@Kiwiwomble His contract expires at the end of 2021.
