@mn5 I was totally thinking of Tana, and that's what he played in NH. But has Savea got the nous and skills that Tana developed? I don't think so

Dice

@machpants Savea played some midfield for Wellington last year and he didn't look that flash.

@dice

Very different kind of work-rate and skills between those two. Tana was an excellent passer and almost another loosie, he naturally suited moving to the midfield.

Plus Tana moved in because he felt he’d lost some top end pace, not because he’d been shit for 5 years.

And had an eye for the game, could anticipate what was happening... and would typically only hit the deck if tackled by someone else, not just because he fell over.

MN5

So that’s a no then ?

@kiwimurph So basically everything will stay the same for the next two years. Same shit recruitment and selections.

No vision.

Its a shame. It was good when the three other teams (Chiefs Highlanders and Canes) all had a good chance at winning. Now its back to these three just making up the numbers
But there is hope. Blues have shown it starts with the board. Get a strong board and the ship can be righted fairly quickly. But for the Canes its unlikely to happen any time soon. So we are stuck with mediocre and just making up the numbers. With poor recruitment, poor selections and poor coaching

@paekakboyz How shit is our board?

@canes4life We await advice of Stargazer's provincial allocation breakdown and undoubted outrage after the results of the Hurricanes Under 20s round robin!

Same name, different players. This one is a hooker out of Whanganui Collegiate.

The Chiefs player is a halfback out of St Paul's.
