Could include multiple codes as being boring too.

That's me apparently, but I can type and spell (most of the time).

So if my information is correct Michael A,Tom Saunders( to Japan) and Brett Cameron not renewing contract will have to be replaced for 2022.
Pablo Matera is one new player in for 2022.
The info I have Michael A will not be replaced they will run with the 6 props they have so effectively Matera takes that spot. -
@chris If Sanders is leaving, Matera is taking his spot. If they're really not replacing Alaalatoa, then they can fill a spot somewhere else. It will be interesting to find out where that will be.
I'd also like to know whether Enari and Hall are staying. Hall because he might go for the coin; Enari, because he again doesn't/won't get much game time if Hall is staying.
Tbh, I don't see what they see in McLeod. He wasn't good for NZU20s and still isn't. Of course, he's a rookie at this level, but I haven't seen much talent shine through either. I would have liked to see Punivai play at some point, but I guess the youngster has to wait until next season.
If Cameron is leaving, who'll replace him? Campbell Parata?
-
@stargazer agree, McLeod has been very disappointing. Some people talked him up on here a few years ago, but I don't see anything that suggests he will be good.

Hall has resigned for 2022 Enari I am not sure on.
On replacing Cameron I have heard some chat around Ollie Lewis .

I was hoping Enari would have kicked on to a regular starting/bench spot by now. Maybe he just doesn't have the goods.

@chris Do you have an online source for Hall re-signing. Can't remember seeing it.
It was mentioned online somewhere in an article on stuff but through a source linked to the crusaders I am certain of it.

Yeah he has struggled a bit just not enough chances to progress IMO -

He only made his Canterbury debut in 2019 and that was out of position on the wing. Can't recall how much he played for Canterbury last season but this year for the Crusaders he's had very limited opportunities again. He did play one impressive game at 12 though this season. Can't recall which game, but he was universally praised.

I could very well be judging him too harshly, but usually young ones who are going to be any good show early on that they have a particular 'weapon' that sets them apart. I don't see one in McLeod yet except maybe his size. Would love to be wrong.
-
@crazy-horse I'm just reserving judgement on him until he's had a decent run in his preferred position.
