Seriously, WTF has happened to this guy? Coming into this season, I thought this would be the year when he would oust Conrad and become the 1st choice AB centre through to the World Cup. Instead his game has fallen to pieces and he's become bloody useless- he can't tackle, catch, hold onto the ball in the contact, etc. He bloody not be selected to the ABs for the Incoming&3N tests. Ice can provide cover for Conrad. Let him play himself back into contention for the EOYT in the NPC.

He seems completly down on confidence,
Maybe all the injuries have taken their toll on him psychologically

Simple, his injuries have ruined him at least this season. Maybe he can have a decent NPC and regain some of his composure. He did have some class, so he just needs some time regaining confidence.

The look on Kahui's face as the camera panned onto him after the ball was knocked out of his hands by Fourie (spelling), told it all.....he looked embaressed, shattered and sick all at the same time......felt sorry for the poor bugger.
Henry has alluded to his poor form and on his performances to date, he won't make the team.
He has tons of talent as we all have seen........what will it take to get his mojo back?
Maybe to play in a decent team to start off with !

In think once he staops thinking about anything else apart from enjoying playing rugby. Don't worry about the All Blacks, or higher selection. Just get out there and think like a five year old - why do you play rugby, because you love to run with the ball in hand. Forget about team performance, it's shite, just get out there and enjoy doing YOUR thing.
Must still be worried about shouilder too, so once he gets a full season under his belt, he'll come good. I just don't think it'll be this Supewr 14 - look out thoughb, NPC.
That's what I reckon anyway!

He could still have a big season for Maori though. He will come back he is a class player just having a shocking season. Good thing is Conrad is playing out of his skin.

I hope he gets an opportunity in the Maori to stake a claim for future AB selection.
The unfortunate thing for Toeava fans is that if Kahui is not selected for the ABs and if Conrad goes down injured then it is most likely Ice will be the centre and that means he will not get time at FB.

exactly, and i believe Mils is not done yet but isn't too far off,
and Toeava and Jane can do a similiar job for us that Mils and Rangi did at FB,
But i cant help but think the world cup centre/FB curse could strike again , Toeava who could well be our best FB by the world cup,
will be forced to play centre because of injury and or lack of depth at centre.

For a guy who's playing shit somehow he's managed to be 2nd highest try scorer in the comp (not many people scoring multiples though.)
If he regains his form then it will be good to see him running around for the Maori, if not I hope he rides the pine.

he has to play for Maori no matter what his form is imo. I still wouldn't be shocked if he snuck into the AB squad though. Reckon the Cartel rate him highly and they may take a punt to get him into form as backup to Conrad. May be given a run in the June internationals to see if he can gain some form.

Yep I think playing for the Maori is the best thing that could happen to him. The culture of the team could really turn around his season.
I remember Carlos having a very poor Super 12 in 2005 then playing a blinder off the bench in the second half v the British Lions.
