@Machpants I think the entire year might be a banana skin.

Hopefully we get Jordie back next week.
Barrett has been suspended from all forms of the game up to and including 22 March
The Rebels game is on the 22nd
-
@Duluth yeah but he can go to tackle school to get a week off apparently which will make him available.
-
Ah, forgot about that
-
One massive thing Iām super stoked about is our scrum. We have rarely been beaten yet and I thought we had the better scrum tonight. Great to see.

Hopefully at first
Cameron was poor.
Thought in general he was ok, got charged down a couple of times, but apart from that he did some good stuff.

Agree he did some good stuff. The issue with him though is there's too much poor stuff. In every game. And his running game doesn't exist
We will not win the final or even make the final with Cameron at first. Time to accept this and try other options. I would rate them Barrett 1, Love 2 and Godfrey 3

Pretty happy with that effort by the Crusaders a few players stepped up almost got home.We can build on that.
More excuses for coach Penney I see. Crusaders had the rub of the green for large majority of that game and still couldn't get it done in the end.

Pull you head in,the same could be said about the Canes but they scrapped home against a team missing 8 of their front line players who would be in the top 23.

As much as I'd love to retort back at this with something snipey about one eyed Cantab's, I do have to agree with the tone.
Crusaders should be much happier, despite the result, than the Canes.
Hurricanes should have won this easily.

A shit load of players to come back.Why are you defending Penney? He was sacked by the Tahs and left with the worst record in their history. The Crusaders went for a safe in-house appointment, much like Foster after Hansen post-2019, instead of being ambitious, they went for someone who wouldn't 'rock the boat' and duly got what they deserved.

Count me as pleasantly surprised.
Formations only slightly better but plenty of heart and effort defensively.

I am not defending Penny I never liked that choice,And still think it was a very bad call.
I am saying I saw certain players step up
Reece again,Grace,Bower,Havilli,Fihaki Bell were all much better.
And with a lot of big players to come back we only have to make the top 8 and anything is possible in spite of Penny.
