Roigard looking very solid at halfback.
Looks classy
Hopefully Godfrey gets some minutes in the second to show why he will be better than Morgan/ already is.

@Canes4life Haha, no pressure, Harry!

Canes are weak at lock with Blackwell and 1st with morgan
Injuries aren’t helping. Missing Love tonight, and Sangster who was impressive last year.
I would start Bird ahead of Blackwell. I would start Delany in that pack somewhere aswell, he’s earned his spot.

Agree. Keen to see what he's like. Morgan is just ok. Team needs more. Either Godfrey or Jordie with Higgins at 2nd

Godfrey has a better kicking game and is quicker, and could be slightly bigger. Was quite obvious in the pre season game last week who the better ten was.

Seems pretty bizarre to schedule the early season games in the north. Or is it to avoid rains or something?
Have you not noticed the giant intellects running SANZAAR previously?

Or move Love back to 10 where he hasn’t had too many chances, plus he’s maturing compared to when he last played there. Start Higgins at 12 and move Barrett back to 15 with Moorby to the wing.

Franks is looking his age at times. He somehow knocked the ball forward as a cleaner and got skinned as a pillar on defence. Scrumming OK though.
Scrumming is what he’s there for.
Atleast our first choice front row is on the bench to provide some impact.
-
@Canes4life Yeah, but don't forget that he just turned 20 and has played only 4 games for the Magpies, including one non-competition game and a game against Poverty Bay. He's a puppy.

I had assumed QRU would be in charge of that

Yeah but so is Lynagh (19) and Jorgensen (18) who played last night. If you’re good enough you’re old enough. Nothing much phased him last week so worth a crack I’d say.
Morgan looks like a journeyman first five, we need more than that.

Another option. But I doubt if Jordie will want to move to FB. 1st yes.

Too many changes.

Not when you make them early in the season. I see Higgins is over in Aus so I’m sure he will start next week, or at least be in the 23.

Morgan is not much more. Love wasn't when he was playing 1st. Michael's son is only 19
-
@Canes4life I think it's more likely that there will be a 5:3 split on the bench with Higgins getting the 23 jersey. I don't see them moving Jordie.
-
Canes have changed their whole front row.
