What I don't get is that if Holland wanted to play Savea in the midfield he should have done it in pre-season.

What the f#ck is the point of pre-season, just a waste of time if the team structure doesn't resemble what's going to happen during the season proper.

Well said. It just shows they don't have any idea.

Making drastic changes to your team after week 1 means whatever plan you have you've already ditched. Are we not thinking ahead? Did they not trust their plan for the season?

It's stranger than that. The Canes backline last week looked very sharp at times. Surely that means that you then work on building that to be most of the time/all of the time rather than change it out.
As Isaid I amlooking forward to seeing Jules at 12 but I am alsonot sure it is needed. Or at least have PUJ at 13

Under the roof Flanders, Iose, Love and PUJ could cause real havoc off the bench.

[Duluth]

Plumtree would’ve been a better bench option. Maybe he’s injured too?

[Canes4life]

@kiwimurph that's if they take the field.

[Canes4life]

11-15 for the Blues is something else. Under the roof they will be very hard to contain.

If I were PUJ, I'd be looking to move to the Landers.

12 TUJ 13 PUJ would be very good.

[ARHS]

So the consensus is for a Canes win then?

[Chris]

I am glad I am not a Canes fan,Would be pulling my hair out every time a team is selected.
No consistency in selection at all,How is the team supposed to retain rhythm in their defence and attack with someone different next to you every week.

Although I like Savea at 12 that maybe a master stroke if PUJ was at centre.

[foobaNZ]

@arhs lol yea. I can see the Canes winning since the Blues will be under cooked. Plus missing 3 of their best in Dalton, Akira & Beauden.

[Duluth]

If you are picking the Canes then you should jump on this:

Current odds:
Blues $1.30
Canes $3.30

[Nepia]

How on earth can the Canes go two weeks in a professional competition and only play one actual real lock?

[Canes4life]

@nepia more than two weeks... Holland's been doing it since the start of 2020.

[KiwiMurph]

Akira could be out of action for a while.

He's indicated he has a lisfranc foot injury.

lisfranc foot injury.

That could be up to 3 months out.Depending on wether it is a break or a tear.

Unlike. I see @Chris got in quickly with a like for this news.

HaHa more on the info than the news,

[foobaNZ]

Gee the Canes at $3.30 are a good shout.

We've picked a crap team but most of that Blues team didn't play NPC. I think it'll be a lot closer than $3.30

[Tim]

Tu'inukuafe, Tuipulotu, Cowley-Tuioti, Papalii, Ioane, and Barrett. Best chance Canes have had in a while.

[Canes4life]

@tim to be fair we are also missing Coles, Perenara, Franks, Bird, Walker-Leawere, Roigard and Scrafton so it all evens out I guess.

[Crucial]

How many minutes is Jordie allowed to play?
