@Stargazer no Devery in these shots so doesn't sound good.

Coaches look huge compared to the players
Except for the last row except for Blackwell who looks a midget. It looks sort of funny but surely they could size them all the same FFS,

Fitting giants like Ardie into the same frame as normal height people is difficult

They don't call Jamie Mackintosh the Whopper for nothing.

It's just a dig that Getty's thinks Hurricanes Rugby isn't creative.

The fact Jason Holland still mentions Prinsep in the below article is a massive worry. WTF does Holland even see in that guy? He's just so damn mediocre, a bit like Holland's selections last year.
Holland quotes: "Pete's going well, Brayden [Iose], Devan [Flanders], you've still got your Reed Prinseps your Ardie Saveas and your Du'Plessis Kirifis and your TK Howdens.

@Canes4life
Priñsep was his starter when fit so guess he rates him so will mention him. But hope someone else steps up at 6.Is delany injured
I expect to see priñsep starting in the first game along with Blackwell. It won't change until Holland leaves. And even with a new coach if Gibbes remains it still might not. Unless it's prinsep last year

Both Delany and Howden are better than Prinsep. Delany thoroughly outplayed Prinsep in the NPC final, plus I would also have Flanders shift to 6 before selecting Prinsep.
You're right though, Prinsep seems like Holland's teachers pet. Hopefully they both move on at season's end.

From the below post, Ruben Love will miss the first two rounds of Super Rugby with a groin strain. I assume the Hurricanes will start Moorby at 15.
Jordie Barrett on move to 12 at Canes: 'I'm trying to evolve game'
Permanent Super Rugby shift will help Barrett's chances of staying in his preferred second-five position with All Blacks in World Cup year.

Canes need to do more updates on all injured or unavailable players

Yeah a bit average on the updates tbh.

"fozzie indicated he enjoyed me playing there so I suppose the rest is up to me and put myself into that position every week."
The same coach who prior to the forced switch wasn't convinced by the proposition of Jordie at 12.

Yawn.
His Canes coach wasn't exactly pushing the option hard either and when Foster made those comments Jordie was still finding his feet. -

All the ones who 'knew' it would never work are probably the same ones who 'knew' 12 was JBs position!

It's a little different with Jordie though because he actually started out as predominantly a 12 for school, NZ under 20s and Canterbury in that first year, and then made the shift to fullback. It's not like he's been a 15 all his career and suddenly wants to move to the midfield. Scott Roberston even said back at the beginning of Jordie's career that he wanted to sign him as a 12 for the Crusaders.
