@Chris I think McAlister has been good as a squaddy, but have never rated Klein. Never understood why he was in the squad. Bell seems to have much more potential.
For me McAlister is the better player,klein would be my choice to let go.
The thing that might go against retaining McAlister is the consistent injuries over the last 3 seasons, he has missed large chunks of SR due to that reason. -

Bell certainly made a good start! Looks to have some decent size about him, where Klein looks a bit on the small side.
Taylor, McAlister, Bell looks the best trio to me, as well.
Gallagher & Bell are the finds of the season for Crusaders.

Agree plus the further development of Newell as been very good.

Agree about Gallagher, but surely it's way too early to tell with Bell either way. Unless of course, you have seen more of him than I have.

I have seen him in the Crusaders u20s last season he was one of the stand outs in that.
I think he will be really good . Going forward. -
How fucking dumb are the crusaders? How on earth can you do your awards over a month before the season ends? At the point how you perform matters most, it is not counted as the awards are already done, I really don't understand this at all.

@Machpants when the new stadium opens in 2025 or 2035 they'll have to have a Blackadder stand🙂

@Machpants Why is it dumb? If they make it to the SRP Final - which is only 3 and half weeks away on 18 June - then their ABs probably have to go into All Blacks camp a few days later (and Matera would be gone, too), as the first Ireland test is already two weeks after the Final. So after the final there's no time, and during the play-offs they may see it as an unwanted distraction. It's smart forward-thinking. Don't be surprised if you hear about other franchises having their awards night soon, too.
PS: Buy a new calendar! Your current one has too many weeks until 18 June.
