Crusaders 2020
-
Interesting interview with Scott Robertson. Click on the picture for the audio (which is about much more than the written text).
Codie Taylor and David Havili will be the vice-captains supporting captain Scott Barrett.
It sounds like it's still open who will play 12 & 13: Goodhue, Havili, McLeod all named as options for the 2nd five eighth spot. -
@Stargazer surely has to be Havili. It's probably a matter of having all the best players on the park and whether they see Goodhue as a 12 or a 13 moving forward. I'd suggest they would most likely leave Goodhue at 13 which means Havili would probably have the experience to shift into 12. Then you would probably have to start Jordan at 15, with Ennor as utility impact off the bench.

Early signs are Goodhue/Ennor Mid field combination if both are fit to start the season.Jordan off the bench

@Machpants hmm so was this the new adventurous stuff Razor was gonna bring to the ABs!! 😳🍆🍆
-
@Stargazer How’s longs Hollinshead been with them is it just a short term thing?
-
@mikey07 Not sure for how long. No doubt, it will only be for preseason. I assume he's been there to cover for Mo'unga's during his ABs break.
SR franchises must have been scraping the barrel this year, because so many players - who missed out on a SR contract and would normally have joined them for preseason - have ended up taking up contracts in Japan or the USA.

That try to Tom Sanders was a thing of beauty, well, what led to it especially. Jackson Garden-Bachop kicked the ball far into the Saders' half and Ben Lam failed to chase it. Mataele did and went looking for a hole in the Canes' defensive line, making a nice break. Ball handling was excellent, with Ennor and particularly Fainga'anuku and Jordan all playing their part.
Canes playing a bit messy.
