I got some good oil a certain Loose forward from the Highlanders is coming to the Crusaders next year and since big Pablo isn’t staying Robertson had been hounding him to sign for weeks.

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 It would be a good move for MMT's career.

Could be Frizzel, he’s got the Ta$man connection.

[mikey07]

@Canes4life He has a hyphen name but it’s not MMT.

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 is it Lio-Willie? That’s the only other player with a hyphened name in the current crop of Highlanders loose forwards.

[mikey07]

@Canes4life Yip sure is.

[Grooter]

@mikey07 good on him for earning a full contract! In saying that i rather have Lio-Willie at the Highlanders than Renton tho😐Irish Paul from stuff will be fuming the Landers didn't keep the bruising number 8

[mikey07]

@FakatavaFuture He will be a good pick up looked awesome on debut needed more gametime though Brown had his favourites.

[Grooter]

@mikey07 yeah Brown liked his experienced guys G Evans, Honeck, Banks ect whilst Otago guys Lio-Willie, Pole, Koroi weren't ready in his eyes..
would Andrew Goodman like to move further south?

[Tim]

@FakatavaFuture Thought he was supposed to be going to Leinster?

[SouthernMann]

Would be hugely disappointing for the Canterbury All Stars to pick up a lad like CLW. While he didn't make the original squad, injuries curtailed his season. Whenever he was available he was picked. Initial injury was in the pre-season and then another in the game he started. Otago and the Highlanders failed this exceptionally talented player by not identifying him early. But it will be a hell of a shame to lose him.

It's about time Crusaders signed an explosive islander loose-forward. They have too many white, slow and workmanlike loosies who all have very similar attributes. Not saying there's anything wrong specifically with the existing group, however you need a bit of variety and point of difference in your squad make up & athlete characteristics, and Lio-Willie would certainly offer that much needed point of difference for the Crusaders.
