Crusaders 2022

@tim From Liam Napier.

[mikey07]

@stargazer Can’t seeing him coming to the Canes.

[Tim]

@mikey07 Thanks.

[ARHS]

So is Hall off overseas? I guess Roigard was re signed with Jamie Booth gone to sort Canes. So are Enari and Taumateine possibles for the new Pacific franchise. So much silence on who they have recruited so far.

[Tim]

@arhs See above, Hall stays at Crusaders for another year.

[ARHS]

@arhs aha just saw Napier post.

[Stargazer]

@tim If he'd said "Enari has signed with MP", I'd believe it. This sounds more like a rumour, although I admit Liam Napier is probably the journo with the best rumours.

[chchfanatic]

@stargazer didn’t someone post about this a month or so ago. 😂😂

[Stargazer]

@chchfanatic All rumours. No facts. I'm waiting for official announcements.

[Yeetyaah]

TTT was released early eh? Chiefs seem to be pretty generous with releasing their players. Not a bad thing, if a player doesn't want to be there then they shouldn't hold them. Wonder how often it happens at other franchises.

[chchfanatic]

@stargazer haha that is true. Some of us get given the facts early that’s all. Just got to know the right people.

[Canes4life]

Canes still have one halfback spot to fill but I expect it to go to either Jamie Booth or Luke Campbell.

And here it is. The most underwhelming Crusaders signing in many years.

Agree not overly excited about it, but what was a more 'whelming' Crusader signing from another franchise in recent years? Can't think of any at the moment.

[Stargazer]

@crazy-horse I can only think of Bryn Hall. Tom Sanders left for the Chiefs and came back, so doesn't really count.

[Tim]

Pablo Matera.

Was Bryn Hall an AB? From memory he was a maligned Blue wasn't he? Much like Douglas and Reece, in a squad but not used a lot.

Nope what? Was I wrong? My memory is pretty shit around these things

[Stargazer]

@crazy-horse Bryn Hall has never been capped by the ABs. He was in camp with the ABs in 2018 (in Japan), but didn't get picked. He played 32 games for the Blues (2013-2016) before moving South.

Douglas and Reece never played SR before they were signed by the Crusaders.
