Fidow and Numia off; Mafileo and Lomax on.
That should strengthen the scrum enormously.
-
@stargazer chuck Love the 10 jersey. He can’t be any worse than JGB even at the tender age of 19.
-
@canes4life I still think jordie
-
@machpants wouldn’t mind that. Give Love the 15 jersey in that case. He’s had some lovely touches and made a good try saver on Connor before.

You can't take risks with the Barrett family and their propensity for cards, especially not in a key position like 10.
-
@higgins lol I’ve been waiting for this. Numia and Fidow were very good in that first half. Fidow looks to have improved his scrummaging but not surprised as he’s starting to mature.
-
@nepia we’ve got no one else good enough to play 10 though so it makes sense.

That's a bollocks call, I assume you're joking. If not you shouldn't play them at all. Jordie is the canes best back, Ardie the best forward, more times they are on the ball the better. Jordie should be ten, he's a great 15, but out tens are so shit we need him there
-
@canes4life Figured you would be disappointed if I did not make that comment and did not want to let you down!
-
@machpants With Hickey gone, the Canes basically only have one ten, JGB, who is pretty average. Leger is a midfielder, Jordie and Love are fullbacks. Just shit recruiting.
-
@higgins to be fair though Numia has always been a pretty good scrummager. Fidow is now 23, he’s been around long enough now so I expect him to perform against the best props out there. It will be the making or breaking of him.
