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.

Till 2023!! ffs.

Canes have gone rotten (again) eh. That sucks.
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?

@canefan the best! The greatest! I tell ya, our board can't be beat! Classy folks too. Good people! The best people!
Lol.
Sigh.

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

ben strang seems to be named in chiefs squad
Same name, different players. This one is a hooker out of Whanganui Collegiate.
The Chiefs player is a halfback out of St Paul's.
-
Just to add, Strang the hooker was the no.2 for the 2019 NZ Schools team and I remember him being impressive against Aust. He had good size too.
One player from that same team I don't see in the Hurricanes U20s is Roderick Solo. He looked a very good winger, fast and elusive.
-
@canes4life The real question is who’s going to stand out and show flair and get signed by the Highlanders and who’s going to plod along have a “good work rate” and not much else and get signed by the Canes.

Is he still at school? I miss a few Hawke's Bay Academy players that I'm sure would have made squad, but may have been left out because they're still at school, including Cooper Flanders, Bethel Lutele-Malasia and Tupou Ma’afu Afungia (I think he's still at school).
Also missing Jayden Stok, but I've heard there are provinces trying to poach him, so maybe they succeeded.
