I'm going to this one - hopefully a better result than the last one I went to (vs Chiefs).
We should blow the Reds off the park but tbh we have the travel factor to include and weren't that great last week. Hopefully Proctor is back.

I don't expect the Reds, especially their pack to be able to contain the Hurricanes as well as the Sharks did though. I'd be surprised if the 'Canes didn't keep their march to a play-off spot alive and with a healthy boost here.
Canes drop players for breaching team protocols

Couple of those guys should have known better.

Yeah, come on lads. I know you want to enjoy yourselves, but don't pull a Warriors on us.
I'm sure Julian got a bucket of KFC on the way back home as well.

Reds team is out and could be another pumping for us, No Karevi, Shatz or Hunt. Gorumoru hasn't set the pitch alight yet and we dont have a lot in attack with the centres, i'd rather they put Paia'aua in at 12 and shift Fainga out to 13. Its just a worry when Nick Frisby is probably our best player on the pitch :/
Not so awesome for the Canes losing so many first choice players.
The only positive is seeing Wes Goosen get a run. Really rate the young winger.

Very disappointing - I'm going to this one and logically you want the best team on the park. I guess there'll be a tonne of yellow showing come Saturday night and no it won't be the fans.
I also see a lot of potential in Goosen but it does seem somewhat risky to start him in such a circumstance. I'd have gone with:
11. Proctor
12. Laumape
13. Halaholo
14. Woodward
15. Marshall
It still baffles me that they're playing Aso and Laumape hasn't really been given any thought since his week off from an injury, he was actually improving every game. Proctor is starting to get the hang of centre so maybe Boyd doesn't want to disturb that.
