Crusaders 2020
-
@chchfanatic Ofa was rumoured to have signed for the Crusaders ??
Maybe Jordie Barrett is going to the Highlanders like mentioned on the Fern by someone -
Rumours are just rumours. I think we've already discussed possible moves from Jordie and Ofa to death on other threads, and basically none of us has a clue about what is true and what isn't. Hopefully, both the Crusaders and Highlanders will make some announcements soon.

@Stargazer the Highlanders are taking along time to announce anything

This Jordie rumor might have more starch to it than I first thought. I've heard whispers in Wellington today that he is on his way to the Crusaders next year.

Unless he has his sights on playing 12 I would find it a weird move. So much outside back talent in the crusaders, he’d be taking a risk.

@Billy-Tell One of Ennor or Havili will be fairly annoyed if he does.

I'll love it if if goes to the Crusaders. My MIL is a dyed in wool Cantab (as in Matt Todd should've been picked ahead of Kaino in 2011) and she hates Jordie. It'll be hilarious to watch her do a complete 180 on this and now become his biggest fluffer.
He's been a bit average for the Canes the last two seasons. Hopefully he can find some form of he heads south.

The crusaders culture will improve him as a player. No shame in changing your views when the facts change.

I hear we have offered Jordie the 12 position.
That's where we developed him. He's probably the best club player I've ever seen at 12, and was outstanding in that position for Canterbury. Seems to get a bit lost on defense at 15.
Havili will stay at fullback and share the role with Jordan. Ennor remains a centre/wing and Goodhue is a natural 13, so don't want him to be our long term 12.
It's a long season, all those guys will get plenty of games. Nobody will throw their toys and demand to leave.

@SammyC is that an assumption or did you hear that from someone closely affiliated with the Crusaders?

it's not an assumption.

@SammyC If Havili keeps on playing like he did this year (or better), I don't see Jordan get much game time at fullback, except if they move Havili to 12 now and then. Havili played the most minutes of all Crusaders players in 2019. Unless injuries strike, the right wing is going to see a lot of rotation though.
