@jimmyb The blame lies squarely at the feet of the head coach. Buck stops there. He’s been in the job a year and a half now and we have gone NOWHERE.

People pouring out the ground early. Borderline toxic. I don’t enjoy watching this team.

I’m afraid he is stubborn and has his favourites and that is why he isnt the All Blacks coach

Renton ya piston wristed gibbon

@Tim said in Highlanders vs Hurricanes:

@jimmyb Coming into the match their squad looked seriously depleted, especially at lock, so this result wasn't unexpected.

This would have happened with Holland and Lavanini at lock. You’re kidding yourself if you think the result would be different. The issue is systemic

You can’t use the excuse of having no locks if your spend the whole season refusing to use them in the first place.

Thank you thank you thank you. The are so incredibly poorly coached. Jospeh is shit as I’ve said all season

that looked pretty innocuous to me......

Wonder if Renton cops a ban for that

JJ doesn't have the best cattle .. but I expect better of the team

Dislocated shoulder is it?

Respect to Angus for getting up

Well when you have what ever cattle it is for two and a bit years, you expect them to get better, not worse

Joseph isn’t shit - but going backwards doesn’t work.

Angus you fluffy bunny ..glad you are ok . but far too long mucking around

@frugby we’ll disagree on that but the team is incredibly poorly coached. Can we agree on that?

Oh fuck off, now this week landers get penalised for jumping across, after last week's crusaders shenanigans

If your gonna gift a team like the Canes so much ball on the back of a poor lineout ,shaky scrum and turning the ball over when you are in possession this is what happens
Also just not enough depth with all their injuries not to mention losing Holland their lineout go to guy before the season even starts its gonna be long season for Landers fans
Also their 9 and 10 options are average

That was really good by Barrett, set that up over several phases

Barrett is giving TT a bit of a lesson how to play centre as opposed to human wrecking ba

At least you didn’t drop him for Moorby who’s on 3 points.

Scrum aside.... the landers simply haven't competed and more concerningly don't seem that interested .. I'd only give Jack Taylor, and the props a pass

Lakai has been very good this half.

Definitely an 8 and not a 7

Picking the canes to win this.

@Bones damn bro stop baiting him

It isn’t about being proven right you dingo.

Well played Lakai, very good performance. Such an athlete.

Don’t be so touchy and I don’t think anyone on this forum cares about whether others think they’re right. All I’m getting at is there needs to be more criticism laid at Joseph’s feet

Lakai and Flanders are the two form loosies at the moment

Superb kick and that’s the 50. Love player of the match and makes a statement.

Hard to disagree. Lio-Willie and Papali’i up there as well.

With Kirifi at openside that should def be our starting loose trio. Hopefully Flanderesess stays injury free he's been unlucky in that sense.

Canes a pleasure to watch.

Some ok individual performances for the Landers but just completely outclassed.

Might need to take a seat next week after going off with concussion but probably also needs a break. I’d start Shields, Kirifi and Lakai.

Well played canes, Landers were bloody awful!

Nice to see Love go well.

Hard to see any positives for the Lanaders

Taavao had a really good (long) shift. JRK showed glimpses of his former self. Lennox showed urgency (just not the rest of the play to back it up).

Oh and Taylor if you ignore the ropey lineouts.
