If the Saders don’t come back here, what are their chances of making the playoffs now?

Duluth

The Reds had a similar lead last week

So general consensus would be Havili experiment has cost the Crusaders tonight?

Gets kicks charged down at 12.

Coaches move him to 10 where there is even less time and space.

Genius.

A microcosm of why NRL is so much better a product.

LOL. Leagues ‘experts’ on TV can’t even keep themselves out of trouble let alone the players. I’d sit this one out.

I think that is a bit harsh. He's been OK. One charge down but otherwise he has been competent.

Duluth

Wasn’t that offside by the player picking it up?

booboo

They WERE back.

To be fair it wasn’t too long ago that Justin Marshall had his spat with the ABs after a few tubes in town.

I’d call it a draw.

So you benched Reihana so you can move Havili to 10, just to bring Reihana on for Aumua so you can move Havili to 12 and in course pushing McLeod out one to 13…. Penny is really clutching at straws and razor is making that more complicated for him

Just what an All Black team needs to spark them

Oops. Too soon... maybe

Big finish

If only they'd taken the three earlier this could be a bonus point

That’s right. That was proven to hardly be anything in comparison. I always find it funny when league fans go out of their way to try and say Rugby League is the superior product 🤣

Lol it had to be Sevu

I was not suggesting that he is an All Black 10 (or an All Black anything frankly). Just that you can't blame the position the Crusaders were in on him.

I would put more blame on dodgy lineout throwing.

This one is not over yet.

Smart to target Vunivalu's wing

Canes4life

Reds are about to botch another one

He was moved there by request from the AB coach though was he not ?

I suspect they only want to see if they can get away with him covering 10 on the bench.

Jury is still out on that.
