Well not many players invest their own $$ to go and do a training camp over in Aus while most other players are on holiday in their off-season. Love literally hasnât stopped training since the end of Super rugby last year.
A bunch of other players were playing Test rugby after Super season finished...
After the NPC, the Christmas break, whatever you want to call it. When most players are boozing it up at the likes of RNV in Gizzy, Love was over in Aussie training the house down. Thatâs sometimes the difference between making it and not.
He also deserves to be there over Perofeta who wouldnât even be there if it wasnât for McDonaldâs love affair with him. Just like Christie, heâll get pushed out eventually.
âŚ..and also pissing round playing meaningless cricket games but donât let that get in the way of your fluffing
Mate I think you have the brains to know what Iâm talking about. But yeah if you want to be a troll go ahead.
Maybe do a bit more digging and youâll figure it out so I donât have to keep spelling it out for you.

It makes zero sense eh. Then we get people complaining about people complaining about DH and justifying it by saying he's the 5th midfielder and we're scraping the barrel there. Like fuck we are and that's exactly where you select a Poihipi/Lam/etc now that we have 4 proven midfielders.
100%, Poihipiâs form bettered Haviliâs all year long. I was going to say he should be there but then I remembered heâs not a Crusader.

It was a terrific catch but his time would have been better spent doing extra training

Forget about his Super form, did you not hear Razor say earlier they based his selection purely on that catch? Iâd say Love made the right choice to participate that day.

People getting their knickers in a twist over Havili being the 5th choice midfielder is also hilarious. We are scraping the barrel there so going back to Havili is understandable.
Could see the logic in Havili when we were cursed by injuries, but that's not the case now. Robertson's picked an inexperienced Hotham and Darry so is clearly looking to build, and could have done the same in midfield.
Maybe Robertson, like Foster, sees something in Havili we ain't.

Canât think what you have been a broken record about!! đ
I was one of the original broken records shouting âsuitcase outâ on this forum !

Honestly, I think a deal has been done to get him off the books.
âMy client can to Japan, saving the NZR a lot of money for early release.
All we ask is that you get him to 100 test capsâ

I see a lot of intercepts and missed tackles đ¤Śââď¸

People on here forget SR finals Havilli and some classic performances esp. that victory in SA that saved Foster's ass. For some reason, the headless chook games of the previous group seem to have stuck on Havilli more so than anyone else. The same people crying for Sotutu and Akira lambast Havilli yet they also were part of those performances.
Wouldn't have Cane or Havilli myself but take the blinders off. -

Perofeta wouldnât have taken that catch thatâs for sure

@Winger the idiot brigade out again. Give it a rest. Itâs getting boring.
Where did the Crusaders finish up this year?
There's obvious bias. Even most (but obviosuly not all) Crusaders should be able to see this
That could be asking the impossible
Robertsons a fool really. All he had to do is not make any dubious Crusaders selections and everyone would have been on his side as the man.
So Ardie over Scott as captain
RR in preference to Bell
Plummer in preference to Havili
And not BlackadderThats it. He could have then brought them all in if and only if they proved themsleves in SRP 2025
I for one am glad Robertson isnât selecting the fringe squad players with the purpose of keeping some internet forum fans happy.
I don't know, his selection of Blackadder and Havili is keeping some internet forum fans happy.

One thing I do know is that the 3 recent AB wins have shown some backbone. Something that was missing for large chunks of 2019-2023, WC excluded.

Or Tele'a. On current form.
