@Steven-Harris Yeah, earlier in the season I expected PR-S to leave considering how he has been treated, but now that Gibbes is gone, it makes sense to stay and see whether he'll get a fair go with a new forwards coach, whoever that may be.
-
@foobaNZ I feel like Rakete-Stones getting limited minutes is more because of how good Numia and Mafileo have been playing tbh. Numia backed up his form for Wellington this year and continued that through to the Canes, Mafileo was also good enough this year to get into the All Black XV squad, aswell as currently being injury cover for the ABs.
PRS has lost out to form rather than anything else by the looks. It's a good thing he's staying though because we need healthy depth in the propping department.
-
@Canes4life No, that's not the case. There's a whole story behind this that can't be posted here. It has nothing to do with PRS' form.

@Stargazer okey dokey, well no matter the case PRS wasn’t playing as well as Mafileo and Numia IMO so probably would have only seen limited minutes anyway.

@Nepia said in Hurricanes 2023:
Good on PRS for getting a contract extension but I was hoping he'd move to another franchise, any of the other NZ franchises instead of the Canes.
Why?. Crusader's he's unlikely to get much game time for example. Unless you believe he's clearly third best at the canes. My view it's a smart decision. One year and if he still not getting game time then make a move (maybe overseas) Knowing that he was rated third best by not one but 2 coaching teams.

Just to get away from the shitty Canes organisation.
It's like this is the first time you've come across me on here.

Can someone please ban @Nepia from posting on Canes threads? Talk about repetitive. 🥱💤

I'd forgotten he was so anti canes regardless Thought he might have had a change of heart.

Hope it's not too serious.

OK, "I know he was screwed, but it's a secret". Good talk.
I can appreciate that there might be other factors, but if it's the case that you won't talk about it, why hint at it?

@Stargazer said in Hurricanes 2023:
@gt12 I hint at it, because untruths are being told.
About what? Why he's not getting selected? Are you disputing that Mafileo and Numia aren't playing well?
-
@gt12 It's pretty obvious from my previous posts that I'm not disputing that Mafileo and Numia weren't playing well. I'm disputing that they were picked ahead of PRS because of his form (or lack of it). PRS never got enough minutes - for reasons that I can't post here - to develop match fitness and form (the Canes didn't release him to play club rugby either), and was therefore never able to get ahead of them. He was first choice LH prop for most of the 2022 season and was named the Magpies' best forward of the year and player of the year for a very good reason. Maybe read my posts again and read between the lines, and you may get a hint of the nature of the problem.

I am reading between the lines; you are essentially slandering Chris Gibbes. I'd like to know why.

@gt12 And I'm not going to tell you.
At least you don't deny doing it.
