Hurricanes 2021

[Higgins]

@Yeetyaah He barely held his position in the match day 23 for the Wellington Lions much less the Hurricanes the last season he was here before he departed. Someone with a major connection to a celestial power must have worked wonders if his form has got any better to warrant selection at Super Rugby level since those days.

[Bones]

His form this year is strikingly similar to how he was in his first year of super rugby. If he has the same level of improvement next year as he did then, all good!

@canefan refreshing to see a Canes fan talk about how average he is. People on Facebook are getting feral about how good he is. Rose tinted glasses really are on today.

I don't see him getting much time, at least I hope we don't have to depend on him if injuries strike!!

@Higgins Jason Holland and his Wellington Bias to the fore again.

[mikey07]

@BerhamporeNinja he was garbage against Harbour apart from that last try didn’t chase kicks his positional play was poor FYI I am a Savea fan

[Yeetyaah]

@mikey07 he's been garbage in all of his games tbh

[mikey07]

@Yeetyaah I really had high hopes with Holland but his signings are just beyond ridiculous signing a 30 year old Wing who’s form dropped off after 2015, extending a 5’4 locks contract who really is not up to standard, if us armchair selectors can see it why can’t he.

Not at all. He's had his good patches, some exceptional, but mostly nothing to pick him for super rugby. Mitre 10 looks his current level tops

[Dice]

@mikey07 If I were a Canes fan, I'd rather have Patafilo.

[mikey07]

@Dice Totally agree

Looks like Roe is off the market. Also i didn’t realise Lowe and Stones didn’t have contracts for next year.

[Yeetyaah]

Waikato's Xavier Roe is understood to have been nabbed by the Chiefs

Thanks christ the Chiefs have some common sense. Surprised the article hasn't mentioned Ratima, he's been pretty bloody good. Chances are the Canes will pick up Hauiti-Parapapara though.

[mikey07]

@Yeetyaah I used to rate him but it feels like Marshall has been tutoring him his pace and speed to the ruck is slow, I would rather they nab Collins.

[Dice]

@mikey07 It also seems like Ruru is still with the Blues.

Booth could be a big loss. Or a opportunity for someone to step up

Whats Jonathan Taumateine been playing like this year? The limited game time he got with the Canes he looked promising enough

I still have hopes for Connor Collins. Looked brilliant as a replacement v NH but not so great starting v CM. But gets another start this week so will watch him closely. Hes 22 now so he will show this WE if hes got the good or not

[mikey07]

@Winger from my limited observation he’s been average nothing that’s not normally expected.

[Canes4life]

I'd rather see Rayasi in the Canes 11 jersey than the broken down bus.

[mikey07]

@Canes4life As would I, it all depends whether he wants a shot at a gold medal or not

24. Maybe its time for him to focus on super rugby if he wants to make it in the 15 man game.

[mikey07]

@Winger I can see him trining for gold next year then settling into 15s the year after.
