Round 5: Hurricanes v Rebels - Friday 22/3 - 5pm AEDT

[Scooter]

Thought there were a lot of black bodies all around the ground.

Maybe, but still sloppy by Rebels.

 

[Derpus]

Tupou has looked good. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) on the otherhand has been shite.

 

[Scooter]

Mason Gordon has looked good.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Obstruction?

Thought it was gonna get called back...

He may be an obnoxious twat even for a 9 but you've gotta admire the prick for making it to third equal on the all-time Super Rugby try scorer's list.

 

[Highlander35]

Tupou has looked good. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) on the otherhand has been shite.

his worst game so far 100%

 

[Scooter]

Mafi injured now

 

[Derpus]

The Rebels loose forwards are great with ball in hand but fuck they don't know what a ruck looks like eh? All the 'Canes had to do was dominate the ruck for the first 20 and the game was done.

 

[PhilClinton]

Tupou has looked good. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) on the otherhand has been shite.

Yeah the message to Taniela about the prospect of a $1M player riding the pine long term or being dropped obviously got through to him.

He still looked a few paces off in general play though, most of his good work was one or two phases off set piece.

 

[Yoda]

Canes were just way better skilled,drilled and did it easy with 14 changes to their side. Rebels just not good enough unfortunately. Some good play in small patches …

 

[Dctarget]

Roll it up now. Ship Gordon x 2 off to the Reds. Leota can go make big bucks in France, he deserves it. Kellaway can go join Waratahs now.

Everyone else is useless. The 11, 12, 13, 14 were dire. Jeez I miss Koroibete, Hodge & To'omua.

 

[RugbyReg]

I don’t want the Gordons up here thanks. Happy with who we have. Don’t mind LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) though. Reckon would could return Mafi to Wallaby quality too.

I'm harsh, but that even bit harsh for me.

I'd say Bye bye Kevin Foote, let Laurie Fisher run the team until the end of season. KF only has 2 months left on his contract so won't have to pay anything really.

So Kellaway of available needs to move to wing at let Gordon know start at 15.

Really missing Wilkin/Hardwick at 7.

Canes away was always going to be tough, there squad depth is insane.

Even guys like Billy Meakes and Tom English.

Nonsense. If Lynagh goes down you are probably going to end up with O'Connor at 10 again. Edit: Forgot about HMP.

Another guy that I think strengthens any of the other sides is Louwrens. He's better than most other sides bench options. Certainly better than Thomas.

Honest truth mate if you thought Tupou looked good, we see different things a player. At the game it was noticeable he walked more than ran or jogged, he looks so out of condition. Though to be fair he helped slow game down when he came on. The Boks could of taken lessons! But in all was pretty happy, Canes changed basically whole team, and all the newbies looked good.

 

[Shiggins]

Man carter Gordan is tough. Toughest 10 Aussie rugby has had in a long time. Was great to see toupo get more game time and inject well in a few plays.
Gordans brother doenst look half bad either.

I flicked over to the Loig. Did he take a shot like Tom did the other night?

He got a pretty good rib tickler, I wouldn't have wanted to keep going after a shot like that but it didn't seem to bother him at all once he got his breath back.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

FFS that was clearly the Canes B team and they still scored 54. Going to be a hell of a final between them and the Chiefs

Palmy North is generally regarded as the North Island's most Bogan town & opinion is divided as to whether it out-Bogans the Shame of the South that is Timaru.

Timaru is Versailles after the summer rains compared to fucking Palmy.

It isn't nonsense. Lawson Creighton, Tom Lynagh, Harry McLaughlin-Phillips, and as you say James O'Connor. If push comes to shove there is also Jock Campbell who can manage first play maker. Carter is fabulous and his brother showed some potential as well. They should both be accommodated within Australian rugby. It just wont be at the Reds barring something very strange. Actually several things.
