    I read/heard that Suafoa's unavailability is related to his cancer. Hopefully nothing serious.

    "Suafoa isn't listed as injured so I guess he comes onto the bench"

    Suafoa is not available either

    Well that makes things difficult. The only other lock option in the squad is starting at 6. Pick another loosie and have no specialist locks on the bench?

    Any other locks training with the squad?

    Is this the situation that they can get a loan player from one of the other franchise WTG’s?

    @Canes4life said in Blues v Crusaders:

    The fact Springer scored half of Lowe's career tally in one game proves my point that Springer is more than just 'slightly' better than Lowe.

    The fact that you believe the amount of tries a player scored in one demolition of the opposition, without taking any context into consideration, makes your argument as weak as Jonah Lowe scoring 4 tries against one opposition.

    Springer has scored 13 tries in 19 games which equates to a 68% strike rate and he's only 22. Yes, he scored five tries in one game but considering that was his first appearance of the season, it can't be underestimated. Lowe would have fluffed half the opportunities Springer had over the weekend because as we all know, he's just not that good.

    Lowe, in his 8th season with 10 tries has a 26% strike rate but apparently Springer is only slightly better than Lowe.

    Real good argument from you.

    Skimming through the dev team games they've used Jack Lee, Hallam-Eames & Randall Baker. Two those are very young

    How's Tom Robinson's head? He was around Blues HQ this week

    Any idea if the other injury rumours are true? Papali'i and Eklund?

    That's big. Crusaders pack is a different animal with Codie for some reason.

    Real good argument from you.

    Bingo, you got there! If as you say, tries and percentages are all that matters, a guy that had run in 8 tries from 18 games with all those opportunities is a slight upgrade on Lowe for the highlanders.

    Good to know the metric of what makes a super awesome player though. Caleb Ralph >>> Jane, etc.

    Seriously good to know Lomu wasn't a patch on Reece.
