@Chris-B No, I don't think that's correct. He's on the updated teamlist on the Crusaders' website and I haven't seen anything that indicates he's leaving or injured (long-term). He played for the Ricoh Black Rams in their last Top League game on 15 December (not their non-competition game on 22 December).

Any rumours about the squads? Who's injured, who's fat, who's fired up? That sort of thing.

[Stargazer]

@Tim They'll probably have to do yoyo tests on Monday! They'll be like when they wake up in the morning, and like when they're done.

@nzzp I think it was early 2017, Tom Robinson had the Blues record at 4.34 I think it was, best boy in my team did it in 5.32 as a 10 year old...I'm gonna start some pre-season with them in Feb...

Don't you love this time of year where someone is tasked with filling a space and do so with an article that says absolutely nothing.

@Crucial yeah dismissing the Sunwolves because they had some heavy losses...ummmm....plenty of other teams have done that too...and has he seen the SW squad and coaching group for this year?

Anyway, league is better.
