Hurricanes v Highlanders

@ACT-Crusader the coaches obviously don't understand the definition of a lock. I don't know, maybe he hasn't been meeting the Hurricanes fitness standards.
In this 'What a lad' podcast with Alex Fidow (https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/what-a-lad/alex-fidow-what-a-lad-fML5pAEWCdy/) he admits that himself and the likes of PUJ, Aumua and IWL all had poor training habits in the first two years in the Wellington academy. Fidow mentions that Chris Gibbes brought him to tears when he turned up for the Wellington Lions weighing 137kg. He's now at a very fit 116kg aparently. What I'm getting at is IWL might not be meeting the fitness standards that Gibbes has brought into the Canes. I guess he will rise up to the challenge like Fidow and shape up or ship out to another franchise. (This is only an assumption of course).

@mikey07 said in Hurricanes v Highlanders:
Wow still some rubbish selections here:
The majority of the rubbish starters are out. That is Tiatia, Armstrong, Blackwell and Princep (although Princep stepped up last week and if he always played like this ... ). May was a big step up on Armstrong (except for the first two scums) so if he can keep this up. Blackwell was his usual rubbish self but if he injured himself and was replaced by Fifita (with IWL in the reserves) it would be a very good starting 15
JGB is unluckly. I though would definitely have him in the reserves if not starting. And as Lam is leaving soon unsure why they don't give some other a run.

@Kiwiwomble did happen with Roy Kinikinilau

@Kiwiwomble not McKay.
Anyway where's the inside word on Walden? It's utterly bizarre and definitely isn't because he hasn't re-signed. So doesn't anybody know what he's done?
Battle of the moron selectors.
