@chris said in Crusaders 2019:
@chris-b My pick is Dunshea,Bedwell-Curtis
I like all three, but I kind of think we should have another out and out open-side, which makes me lean towards Harmon. I like that he's pretty abrasive, as well.
Manu and Rayasi would both be good signings, I think - but, I'll be surprised if the NI franchises let them slip this far south.
Tima Faingaanuku has been going OK this year - looks like he's bulked up a bit and wouldn't be the worst signing, but I doubt he'll set the world on fire.
-
@chris he did his rehab with the Canes but nothing has been confirmed whether he has signed on with them or not.
-
@canes4life Canes need another Lock could be worse options

@chris Surely!
A few suggestions that he'd be foolish to plonk himself behind Mo'unga and arguably Hunt, but I think he should play the patient long game and have a couple of development seasons at the Crusaders rather than trying to rush into a starter's berth elsewhere and risk sinking without a trace!
-
-
@chris That's why he's hopefully got parents and an agent.
TBH if you've come through the Canterbury system and the Crusaders come knocking on your door, I reckon you'd have to have a bloody good offer from elsewhere to turn them down.
It really is a bit like a free shake of the AB dice!

Nice to see a number of Saders players playing well in that semi - from both sides.
-
Joe Moody has re-signed with NZR and the Crusaders for four more years (through to 2022).

As mentioned in the Blues thread Raymond Nu'u has impressed in a losing Southland side the question is Razor onto this young player for the Crusaders ? I couldn't believe Maddocks stuffed up letting him go to Southland and then signed 2 plonders Beard and Burleigh instead.
-
@chris He's apparently been in the WTG so Razor should be well aware of him.
You'd also think that Razor and Maddock would have had a few discussions about the Canterbury squad and who should have been in it.
Be quite interesting seeing the new squad on Wednesday. I'm picking there will be half a dozen newbies to replace - Tamanivalu, Delany, Crockett, Samu, Bateman and Macilai -though other than Douglas, there's not been much news on who these guys will be.
I'm betting Brett Cameron will be one. Seems to be plenty of speculation about who's going where -I've lost track of what's confirmed, but I wouldn't mind seeing Razor pick up Tumua Manu from Auckland.
Lindenmuth would be quite a likely prospect to replace Crockett.
