This is going to be a major issue for every team I would think.

Any impressions of the young Moli brother who left highschool recently?
He is also around the Crusaders training and is in the Crusaders academy.
I hear he is rated well,good with ball in hand.If that is Monu, he needs a major work-on with his lineout throwing. Bell is a hooker from the same year.

How will Scott Robertson keep a full house of barnstorming backs satisfied?
The Crusaders may have taken a few hits in the forwards in the Super Rugby off-season but they'll once again start the year with unparalleled depth in the backline.
This has been mentioned a few times on the forum. Each week there will be some highly ranked backs missing the 23
Robertson’s selections could end a few AB chances. But rotating too much might not help Havili who needs time to settle at 12
-
@duluth Goodhue as a wing...right, unless he got faster after a knee reconstruction...
David Havili, Goodhue, Ennor and Fainga’anuku are all serious options in the midfield while the latter three could also feature on the wings.
-
Yeah, I’m pessimistic about how well he’ll come from injury in general. Time on the wing would be crazy

Assume we are talking about Goodhue? I am a fan, but he would make the world's slowest wing.

@duluth yeah if he comes back well, he will be in the mid-field, and as with most after major surgery, they come back losing half a yard of pace, so I expect he will get more than a chance at 12 for the Crusaders, he has the smarts and power, he just needs time if he is to develop there to try and muscle his way back into black.

@taniwharugby Is this his second major knee surgery? Did he have one when he first switched to centre from the wing?
