Stargazer

2020 version of the bus is an old-timer:

Next will be Weepu to replace TJP.

@Yeetyaah such a disappointing signing. He’s not even up to Mitre 10 Cup standards. Typical Canes, I had a feeling this was going to happen.

Stargazer

@Canes4life Yep, it almost seemed inevitable. I wonder whether they've signed him as an outside back or a midfielder?

This signing may have more commerical value (attracting crowds?) than value on the field.

Canes4life

@Stargazer It will more likely prevent fans from turning up because if he’s in the side the Canes are in trouble. He’s proven already this year that he still has tits for hands, no pace whatsoever and a tendency to seagull on the wing waiting for the ball to come his way.

It seems more like a pity signing to me, or a signing to keep Ardie happy so he doesn’t head off to league.

Stargazer

@Yeetyaah Ha, my cousin posted a disappointed response that wasn't rude at all, and it has been removed!

Yeetyaah

@Stargazer I don't think I was rude. "Wasted signing tbh, would be more beneficial to sign a young guy. M10 Cup form doesn't warrant a selection."

Stargazer

@Yeetyaah Yeah, my cousin just posted something like "Not thrilled by this signing".

(I wasn't implying your post was rude as I didn't see it).

Yeetyaah

@Stargazer ha nah I know you weren't. Just funny tbh. At least the Blues instagram page responds by roasting the commenters. Been on the receiving end of that as well.

@Yeetyaah This is one signing I wish I was wrong on but it seemed inevitable given his past form, BUT no way does he warrant a contract would of rather they signed Visignia if we’re signing has been wings 😂

@Stargazer I was the same on the Canes Facebook page though they can’t keep up he’s getting roasted.

Prop?

Definitely prop then.

@Snowy He shouldn’t be taking the spot of the young props coming through, I reckon lock he’ll be taller then Blackwell

Higgins

Whatever next! Cory Jane must be in line for a recall as well.

2015 Bus? Hell yeah!!
2021 Bus? ............

BerhamporeNinja

@canefan yeah kinda downgraded to a 12 seater van, hes proven himself in the last couple of games he leads well. yeah dropped a ball but his presence on and off the field is uplifting for the team esp the younger lot

2021 the bus will put a turbo in his 12 seater van..

Why would you even want the 2015 Bus? He was good in one game against France. Pre 2015 Bus is the one you want.

To repeat my comment from the other thread - NZ rugby is odd sometimes.
