'Crusaders didn’t want a nuclear bomb, they wanted a ripple'

Newly appointed Crusaders boss Rob Penney can’t wait to pick up the thread back home in New Zealand. It was 2012 when he first packed his bags to embark on what became an 11-year adventure taking him to Ireland, Japan, Australia, and back to Japan again.

@chchfanatic Great news, surely must be his last season. I was really happy having him onboard, he never lets us down.

[chchfanatic]

@SBW1 he played really well in the final. Great team man too. He said Hotham will be number 1 next year.

Good pick up for Moana Pacifica with Sione Havilli Talitui heading there

That won't surprise me - but, Drummie will be 30 next year, so we may end up needing two new halfbacks in 2025.

Chapman might be one? He's a good player, but very small.

[Canes4life]

@Chris-B I thought Chapman was really good in that game against the Canes. For his debut he hardly put a foot wrong. Definitely worse halfbacks running around.

[SBW1]

Robbie Fruan is doing some coaching at highschool level, wonder if he gets a role at the Saders in some capacity.

[Chris B.]

@Canes4life He's been good for the Mako, as well.

Ennor on the move

@george33

Good on you for giving us the straight up sauce as you heard it.

I assume Blues as that is home, but with Rieko there, maybe Landers?

[Stargazer]

@george33 These kind of vague posts don't tell us anything.

Unless he's moving in with his Missus, it tells us something.

[george33]

@gt12 Be announced within next couple weeks when his AB commitment is settled I understand

[Yeetyaah]

@george33 how about you announce it now????????????????? Save us the hassle, cheers legend.

[george33]

@george33 Now I no crusaders fans will probably say he's all signed up that's very incorrect

[george33]

@Yeetyaah I've already said my contact were he will go ,and on the Roigard situation he will b at chiefs ,and Mafielo will b at blues and the other Lock to blues and a prop from chiefs going to hurricanes and crusaders prop to blues ,few more

[Canes4life]

@george33 I'm starting to think you're trolling. Why would the Hurricanes keep plastering Roigard all over their socials if he was leaving? And why would Mafileo leave, he's just started to cement his spot at the Canes.

Use your head he's still a cane thru media
