Blues vs Hurricanes 02/2022

@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.

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,

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?

[Canes4life]

@crucial hopefully all of the minutes.

[Bovidae]

@canes4life Fidow too. Playing the 100-year old May can't have been in the plan.

[KiwiMurph]

Sucks for Akira

Huge opportunity for Tom Robinson if he can stay fit (big if).

I assume he'll get the c quite often as the team captains also struggle to stay uninjured.

[mikey07]

@machpants Tackles with his head down too that’s why fainga'anuku bumped him off on the way to scoring

[Bovidae]

James Doleman is the ref.

[mikey07]

@tim Not with RTS making breaks every time he gets the ball is set play Savea will be like a cruise ship trying to turn.

[Tim]

Didn't see mentioned who the Blues captain is for this game?
