Reds v Crusaders
-
I haven't been all that impressed by Patafilo so far. He just seems to be making up the numbers. Bit of an indictment on Fihaki I reckon.

@nostrildamus He has put on a fair few kilos since then. At 193 cm, he is rather small for a lock though. Both he and Grace seem to go really well in the lineouts at that height though.
Crusaders lineout was under real pressure - but, not surprising with Barrett, Gardiner and Lio-Willie as the options - we really had a first and third jumper - but, no second option.
Pretty short on real offensive weaponry - Big Leicester the standout - a few others having their moments.

@Chris-B Should be getting some more troops back soon with Grace and Blackadder. Really think we can make a strong push for the finals. Any word on George Bower's injury?
Strange,Gallagher and Brewis due back this week.

@Chris Would like to see some payback in that game. Tahs are a boogey team that are a lot better than their current ranking. Will be nice to get some troops back. Really looking forward to Macca Springer getting are start even if it is just a brief one from the bench.

Springer has an high ankle sprain, not sure when he will be back maybe after the bye.
Hopefully Havili,Goodhue,Jordan,Grace,Blackadder
Whitelock all back after the bye or a couple of weeks after they should all be back by Rd 10.
