Hurricanes 2021

@mackerzzzz Not sure what NZR or Canterbury has got to do with Hurricanes team selections. That's all on the Hurricanes' coaches; no running away from responsibility or blaming someone else.
Laumape was a dud for most of the 2020 season, too. Apparently, someone needs to show him some "disruspec" before he has a good game, or two. That seems to be enough to get him into the ABs ...
-
@stargazer They seem to have some say over coaching appointments though. Firstly the Hamateur and now J Holland who both made their mark as assistant coaches at the Crusaders. One shudders to think what the ABs record might be under their stewardship.

The second the got rid of Fletcher Smith I knew they were F***ed he was way better that JGB
The hurricanes need to change their tactics to have a chance this year. Last year they could at least get Laumape moving this year he's been a dud.
And getting rid of the van wouldn't go amiss...
He is too old and he's holding up rayasi's progress.This year's team might be the worst Canes team in our history

@canefan geez that's a million times better!
The problem is that on the other side of the ledger was the Hammettuer.
The Hammer and Alama were limited but were also far and away better than the current lot.

@mackerzzzz Taylor went all right.

As bad as he was, I'd say him and Holland are a push

I disagree that Holland needs to go I think the issue is higher up.
Nobody seems to want to play for the canes

Unsure where you get this from
But TBH if I was a very promising young player living in the Canes region and a Canes fan. If all the teams wanted to sign me I doubt if I would sign for the Canes as it is now (esp a taller lock or a 6. And a centre). And a big factor in this is the coaches
