It's a worry having Jackson on the bench. Gives an honest effort, but NPC seems to be his ceiling for now.

@Crazy-Horse Still better than Klein.

Jackson may not get much time on the field this game.

To be fair and he has not impressed me at all.He was a lot better last week of the bench, played his best minutes this season.

@Duluth he's Mr Versatile for Razor on Tour is George Bridge, fb against rebels, then he's setting up tries on the right wing against the force and now he's back home on the Left🙂interestingly enough the two most recent losses for the crusaders is when Bridge didn't feature in the run on side.

@FakatavaFuture I think the other thing is Leicesters form seems to have dropped, teams have shut him down and his speed or lack of when having to turn and chase being exposed, so Bridge is (shudder 😜 ) a better option being more rounded...
Good to see Hallam-Eames get another shot too.

Leicester who scored a hat trick last weekend?

@MajorRage i didn't watch the game, but prior to that and back to the blues game he hasn't been in good form, maybe a hatrick will get his confidence back.

I know he scored a hat trick but I wouldn't call his performance awesome. Better, but not awesome. Didn't they score a try down his wing highlighting his lack of speed on the turn?

Yeah he turned on a short circle on the try line
Only the roadrunner would have covered that.
That has been blown up out of perspective.
What about the turnover he made on the 22 and scored at the other end of the park from that turn over 2 more tries and some great defence.
That wasn’t good ?
And some great defence when we we’re under the pump in side our 22 for 10 minutes.
Go back and watch the replay I have watched it again.
Yep LF was awesome last week. -

@Bones said in Brumbies v Crusaders:
Bridge ahead of both LF and Ennor
I actually think its the right call. LF has really slipped back in recent weeks, especially in terms of workfare, and ennor has also never kicked on. For mine, its the strongest crusaders team, but weaker than previous seasons.
