I think Crotty/ALB just shades SBW/ALB. Not by much.
I would look for SBW to get long minutes though. Ideally sub for Crotty at half time.
Crotty is better suited to the more structured game you get early on, whereas SBW is better when players tire (and if we're behind is more likely to spark a try if needed desperately).
Not much between them though. Any fan who gets too passionate about it is being a bit silly IMHO.

:Storm in a teacup, also when did Scotty Stevenson go full cuck?
About the same time he started earning coin and lost weight?
That tweet from Sumo was so fucking cringe haha. What a hero, a Knight in shining armour coming to defend the honour of the poor helpless women. What a douche.

Crotty has also provided plenty of impact off the bench in the past, and is great insurance if things are going tits up as he can come on and provide a bit of structure particularly on defense. I lean towards SBW starting but only just.

It was the omission of Goodhue that let you down.

Spoilt for choice when it comes to the midfield. Two current Saders, a Christchurch boy, and we all know Sonny’s best footy was 2010-11

:"Taylor said that while the All Blacks don't do specific training drills on how to defend against someone who dives low before contact, they do try to tackle under the ball. "
You'd fucking hope they start looking at it now! Potentially game losing event
Oh they've figured it might be an idea to look into then

I think “we all” might be a relatively small group of you, @shark, @Chris, @Cantab79, @Canerbry, that poster FCC who always votes for three Crusaders players in the MoTM awards, etc. Bizzle didn’t even know how to run hard and straight until he got to the Chiefs.
TBF he promptly forgot how to do that when he went to the Blues.

Thank God you're keeping score.
It's a tough job, but I'm up to the task.

:@Nepia some people lack the mental capacity to recognise more than a handful of players. Trying to remember the names and actions of players from more than one team is a task too far for upper Southern islanders, it seems 😜
We’re more than willing to assist on any thread about that guy, I think his name is Akira
