Isn't Jackson Pugh Australian?

Yes. And he's been poor.

Squad breakdown?

5 props
3 hookers
3 locks
4 loose forwards
3 halfbacks
2 1st fives
3 midfielders
3 wings
2 fullbacks

Maybe one less outside back, and one more loose forward who can cover lock?

@KiwiMurph isnt it amazing how so many people watching from our armchair can see things so different to a supposed professional coach/commentator!

Little wonder he was such a poor coach!

20 Sean Romans

Who?

Cantab that played for the Landers. Was considered on the smaller side for halfbacks. Decent passing game and was quick. But didn’t have any sort of edge as a player IMHO

28 seems too high given there is likely to be AB squaddies to get a run.

@ACT-Crusader Squad size of 28 was announced earlier.

Plenty of room for a bolter then!

Basically the Crusaders B team forwards. Hmm.

Heem? Very very old.

No Zarn Sullivan. Would like to see injured players list.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim Looks good. Nice mix of experience and up and comers.

[Duluth]

Heem is a surprise

[Tim]

Gutted for Hodgman.

So Robertson can't use them?

A bit under-whelmed with some of those selections.

[Tim]

@Bovidae Dominic Gallaher, and three Crusaders hookers in the two squads. No thanks.

Has definitely fallen out of favour with Foster. There are other teams in this fucking country besides the Crusadera and Canterbury.

[SouthernMann]

33 year old Bryce Heem. WTF

[Tim]

@SouthernMann Seems crazy.
