Hurricanes 2021

@tim The rumours around that in Welly are strong, but haven't seen any real news about it.

[Canes4life]

@tim I hope so but haven’t seen anything official.

@tim said in Hurricanes 2021:

@african-monkey Maybe a replacement for Boshier? He's better than Karpik, even after all the injuries.

That's debatable I'd say. Plus, he is injured all the time.

[African Monkey]

@tim I just assumed he was signing for the Canes haha after what @Nogusta said.

'They've seen a lot of pain': MacDonald reveals personal significance of Blues' title

Loose forward Blake Gibson, who scored the crucial 76th minute try, is shifting to another New Zealand team believed to be the Hurricanes.

@tim Paywalled

[mikey07]

@african-monkey Swap for Fifita maybe

[Canes4life]

@tim ffs I actually have no faith in these coaches / selectors. Bunch of morons the lot of them. How many games do we need to watch as fans before these idiots realise we need a bigger pack to compete. Completely f@&king delusional.

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 I would have been stoked with A Ioane, but Gibson is taking the absolute piss. The guy is always injured.

[African Monkey]

@mikey07 Suprised Fifita hasn't gone overseas yet.

I’m surprised he is t turning out in a seven’s team right now. Perhaps next year? He’d be a very valuable player in the lighter/faster/weaker Top League.

[mikey07]

@canes4life as would I like you said we need a bigger pack not a smaller one.

[African Monkey]

@gt12 Yeah he would. A lot more freedom to run and no real emphasis on work jn the tight.

@kiwimurph The first signing, if true, further confirms peoples ratings of J. Holland. Other outfits like the Chiefs and Highlanders will continue to benefit thanks to selections like that.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph The Canes now better sign Thompson (they won't sign Kereru-Symes, of course), and not O'WhitePowder.

The Gibson signing is ridiculous.

[Higgins]

@stargazer At least Thompson is, nominally, a Wellington player now so that would count in his favour. He would have no show if he was still up in Napier.

[Canes4life]

@stargazer they better sign Thompson. If they sign White Powder I’m literally going to take a hiatus until these idiots are out of a job.

[Nepia]

So Ardie is gone to league? Why else would the Canes sign Gibson when they have Ardie and the Mexican Drug Lord?

[Tim]

@nepia Replace Fifita?
