Fletcher Newell big 270kg squat tonight in the gym,not bad for a young pup smashed Owen Franks squat record for the 2nd time.
I think Owen Frank's was squatting 300kg by the end of his career. It was Frank's academy record Newell beat a couple years back.
I think Newell will break that 300kg by the time he peaks he is only 21.

I saw Pouri Rakete-Stones is squatting 260kg atm for the Canes.
There's an article from 2018 saying he did 280kg. He would've been 21 back then

Tamaiti Williams' focus on tighthead prop just the tonic NZ rugby needs
After a rock-solid introduction to Super Rugby in 2021, Tamaiti Williams is set to make a massive impact on the competition next year – and in a position where New Zealand is desperate for some new blood.

This is going to be a major issue for every team I would think.

Any impressions of the young Moli brother who left highschool recently?
He is also around the Crusaders training and is in the Crusaders academy.
I hear he is rated well,good with ball in hand.If that is Monu, he needs a major work-on with his lineout throwing. Bell is a hooker from the same year.

How will Scott Robertson keep a full house of barnstorming backs satisfied?
The Crusaders may have taken a few hits in the forwards in the Super Rugby off-season but they'll once again start the year with unparalleled depth in the backline.
This has been mentioned a few times on the forum. Each week there will be some highly ranked backs missing the 23
Robertson’s selections could end a few AB chances. But rotating too much might not help Havili who needs time to settle at 12
-
@duluth Goodhue as a wing...right, unless he got faster after a knee reconstruction...
David Havili, Goodhue, Ennor and Fainga’anuku are all serious options in the midfield while the latter three could also feature on the wings.
-
Yeah, I’m pessimistic about how well he’ll come from injury in general. Time on the wing would be crazy

Assume we are talking about Goodhue? I am a fan, but he would make the world's slowest wing.
