I’m just fed up with a team run by complete morons. We could have won four games this year if it wasn’t for dumb tactics and discipline. Yes the refs have killed us at times but we are our own worst enemy. The Canes need to take a good hard look at themselves because one win and 6 losses is completely diabolical, yet no one seems to hold these coaches to account. If this was the NFL or any other pro comp around the world the coaches would have been given the boot already.

I not all that pissed with them suprisingly Canes, I a Cane's man since day one, but I actually think they almost playing is as good as you could expect with their roster. They really hurt losing Booth after TJP went, Then Ardie getting stuffed. Like I say blame who did the recruiting, but not sure I would be shooting too many at moment.

@mikey07 so? he’s just doing his job. The Canes are just too light in the forwards. You can’t have Blackwell, Prinsep and Kirifi in the same pack. Mix that with shit discipline and we are always going to struggle.
No point having all the talent in the world when our forwards go backwards. When will the Hurricanes ever learn? Get a good tight five first and then we can maybe think about winning games again.

@canes4life And the Canes re-sign the coaches for two more years.
I don't think the officiating has cost the Canes any games. What is mostly missing is good decision-making, execution and discipline. That's due to lack of good leadership, inexperience of some players, and some players just not being good enough. The blame for that is mostly on the coaches, who sign the wrong players and select the wrong match-day 23 each week. This is a problem at all levels in the Canes, you saw it in the U20s, too.
The whole organisation needs a spring clean.

@canes4life Rayasi worries me, he disappears for large parts of games.
As opposed to Savea who disappears for entire games?
See what I mean about Rayasi, he is just not putting himself into the game, I will be suprised if he starts next week after that performance, though I not sure who else we got as I would rather it not Savea either.

Wake me up when the board and the current coaching team are sent packing 😴

Rayasi was far more involved that Goosen in this game

A lot of it comes down to decision making which comes back to leadership. If there are two minutes to go, I don't know why you pass to Kirifi that far from the ruck. I would have thought pick and goes were the option as there is less chance of conceding a penalty. Then there is Kirifi's decision to try to hold onto the ball. He just has to release it. The Chiefs shouldn't be able to counter attack because our fullback should already be back deep waiting for a turnover.
It's quite amazing that with a weak scrum, bad halves combo and getting done at the breakdown that we came as close as we did. I think all we won was the lineout. I think it ultimately comes down to just not having the cattle in the squad. Last season we survived on individual brilliance. Right now we have no TJ or Ardie.

Goosen looked very off this game not his usual energetic self

@stargazer the organisation is a joke. It’s been hard enough being a Canes fan all these years but this is a new low. Even worse is the Canes have essentially pulled the big middle finger to the fans by extending the coaches contracts for another two years. They are rewarding poor performance which will manifest into low standards going forward, something that I’m not willing to pay money for until it changes. #hollandout #bunchofclowns

Chiefs a bit lucky to scrape in through front row dominance and Dmac's trusty boot. Really missed Luke Jacobson punch tonite with too much stutter stuff from the wingers needed. Aidan Ross had great all round game as well as pushing his opposite back. Hope Tiatia Trask and Luke are back from now on.
