Haha, Jason Holland just said he thought JGB was "solid" today.
Fuck Jason Holland. And fuck the person who gave him the job. I bet he won't even promise to change the culture
Why not? He changes everything else each week

Have just finished watching the game after house shopping all day, Chiefs looked like well deserved winners even after that late Hurricanes flurry, so well played.
The Hurricanes just look like a team that doesn't really know what kind of game they want to play. Their attack also seems to break down too easily after multiple phases but I guess what do you expect when the team is completely different every week.
I don't mind Jordie at 12 but I feel he needs a bigger body outside him (looking at you PUJ) who can get over the gain line. We've got far too many players in this team that crash the ball up but literally stop when they hit the defensive line (Prinsep, Blackwell, Proctor) and it just prevents the Canes from building pressure.
Ah well, another week and another loss. I'm really not surprised. Are we even going to make the top 8 this year lol?

He's been chubby for ages, solid is aPC way of putting it

@canes4life JGB he’s big enough to be though I wouldn’t be surprised to see Morgan or Love there next week.

All we have to do is beat the Aussie teams and we should get in 😂

8 out of 12 making it will certainly help. Esp with the 2 new team and some weak Aussie teams. And the highlanders haven't won yet
You only have to be better than Rebels, Force, Drua and Moana Pasifika….
Oh hang on. -
@crucial you'd expect us to win those but let's be honest, this team's a lottery under Holland.

JGB is fat and slow, and his arse looks even bigger when he plays for the Lions in those white shorts

Wake me when he's gone. The only hope is that we don't lose all our best players before he leaves

Soon as Love slotted back in at 10 he sparked the Canes backline with his pace to help us score a top try in the corner.
Thought the tight-five & loosies A.Savea & Kirifi went well - outstanding power try by A.Savea, showed yet again how effective his leg drive is.
There was a big improvement with Perenara's passing game & his all-round urgency.
I know J.Barrett wants to play in the midfield, but at this stage he's more value to the Canes playing at 15... we already have two very good midfielders, Umaga-Jensen & Sullivan.
Seems the Canes biggest threat is our coach rather than the other teams
Really annoys ya, if we actually selected our best team we would have a bloody good side. -
Watching the Highlights, ENS continues to be pretty disappointing - he was beaten by Love for the J Savea try then gave up the penalty which led to the A Savea try.
He ran well tonight (52 off 7 runs), but as usual he made as many tackles as he missed (2,2).
I don’t think he’s better than Lowe, and he’s running out of time to justify the huge amount of chances he’s had with this franchise.
We really need a better back three. If we could recruit a Rayasi or another winger who is getting little time, we’d be far more dangerous. We miss Alaimalo (pre getting jumped on by Clarke) a lot.
