below from the article in the post
Robertson expects injured Crusaders Ethan Blackadder (shoulder), Cullen Grace (shoulder) and Jack Goodhue (knee) to be available in time for their round one clash with the Hurricanes in Chrsitchurch on February 19.The news isn’t so good regarding tighthead prop Oli Jager, who requires neck surgery and is expected to miss the entire campaign.

23 - B EnnorLet's hope Moody's back to fitness will be good enough to make him a starter, as this would be a very positive sign for much important things to come. But this is doubtful for two reasons : 1) he looked very old in 2021 and was a shadow of his former self; 2) Bower has developed into a very good prop.

Yet as it was mentioned at the time Moody was playing very well during SR 2022 Until he was injured.

Which is why it was such a shame that he got injured this year because he was playing so much better. Back to carrying the ball and looking far more dynamic (plus holding up the scrum).
I like Bower off the bench for both the Saders and ABs because of his impact.
