Crusaders 2024

Sacking coaches are always seen as the easy fix but they aren't the ones dropping passes, missing tackles etc. The players need to take some responsibility too.

Penney hasn't really dumped under-performing players from the 23, just some young players (e.g., Kemara).

Has a NZ Super coach ever been sacked mid season? Or even before their contract had expired?

Wasn't there a Blues head coach from Taranaki that was terminated after one year

Just looked it up

They had a number of 1 year coaches after Jed. Were they let go or only signed for 1 year

Hunter was one year for health reasons. From memory I think Oliver was his assistant and got promoted just before the season started.. he didn't get reappointed

Interesting that Aaron Cruden turned down an SOS call from the Crusaders after their 10 woes this year.

Ok I have not heard this one.

[Yeetyaah]

I heard it a while back. Aaron Cruden came over for a cuppa tea and told me they tried to sign him. I said fuck those fluffybunnies and he agreed and we laughed for hours before he texted Rob Penney and said "nah bol".

[Bovidae]

19:30 in this video. Cruden also won't be going to Ulster.

That almost made me throw up in my own mouth, it's bad enough he has the stain of being a Cane and a Poo without adding being a Crusader as well.

I’m preparing myself for a 96-esque season. The transition from Razor and a number of very key players from previous successful campaigns all at once will take time to overcome.

Is there any chance of us getting Leigh Halfpenny or Brayden Ennor back this year?

Leigh Halfpenny and Codie Taylor were back training this week with the squad.
Ennor will not be back until the NPC.

[SBW1]

It say Ennor is due back midyear, wonder if he could make a surprise return, what about Will Jordan?

Jordan is still in a sling so no SR.
Ennor will not play SR.

[SBW1]

When is Tamaiti Williams back he will give our pack one hell of a boost?

[SBW1]

Is Tamaiti Williams and Fergus Burke due back for the Reds game?
