9 Christie
10 Plummer
11 Clarke
12 RTS
13 Rieko
14 Telea
15 Sullivan21 Nock
22 Perofeta
23 Tele'aIsn't Sullivan injured? So you would think Perofata would start at 15?
Na I think hes good to go.
Dalton and Robinson however......Who plays openside if Dalton isn't available?
I would play Segner, as I keep harping on, I a real fan of him, think he got a huge future.
I like Segner too, but I think he might be a year away from really contributing.

I'm a Segner sceptic
Hopefully I'm wrong but I've been underwhelmed by what I've seen of him even at NPC level.
He has an interesting back story and I think that's has generated more positive coverage than his play has warranted
-
@duluth I understand where you're coming from. I think I see the ingredients for a good player, but he needs a bit more strength to push him over the line.
With the backrowers we have, he really just needs to get to a level where he's a good depth player.

Even at U20 level, I wasn't particularly impressed with him. To me Kellow looked to be the best Crusader U20 loose forward.

Since we're playing the Canes, I thought I'd post this classic try.
Probably the best try we've scored against the Canes.

Holland has to go, ffs there is no consistency in his selections. Really? Savea over Umaga-Jensen in the midfield? You've got to be kidding me.

I doubt anyone predicted a Savea/Sullivan midfield
Will certainly be worth a watch. Could be the rebirth of big Jules.
I thought he looked very 12 like in his wing play last week.
We have always wanted Ardie at 12 but Jules has beat him to it.I'm excited to see how he goes.
-
@canes4life I see Pet Prinsep is back starting too

I’d have put Savea at 12, and UJ at 13. Savea may not have the step, but he can fix the defensive line, keeps his shoulders square and doesn’t crab. He is actaully what the ABs need too, not him, but someone who can do that.
But yes, his defence ain’t great.
And Princep jeysus, if Blues loosies all fit, they’ll monster the break down.

Prinsep, Blackwell & JGB
Lol what a nightmare.
Man PUJ must be wondering what to do, makes the ABs, plays really well, and the next season gets benched most of the time. This year plays one game, and gets benched for J Savea at 12. What a joke.
Iose, Ardie & Flanders should be the back row.
Love & PUJ should be in that back line. It would look lethal with them at 10 & 12.
On a positive note, good to see Rayasi and Sullivan in there.

@bovidae too much averageness in that Canes team. Booth, Garden-Bachop, Savea at 12, Prinsep, Blackwell. It looks like an NPC side.
