    @Chris So he may play for Crusaders U20 in 2024 and become their first choice 10. He was playing in Godfrey's shadow, this year, for Hurricanes U20.

    @Stargazer

    Probably I hear the NZ U/20s are keen on him for 2024 .

    I also see he was in the WC tournament team selected as the best First Five, he had a great WC in a losing team.

    @Stargazer Ravula definitely didn’t look as well equipped as Godfrey in the 10 jersey which is why I wish the Magpies would give him some time at 10. How is he meant to develop there if he’s always playing fullback.

    @Canes4life The problem with that is that McClutchie is a player who almost always plays 80 minutes and is playing very well. But I agree that if they decide to sub McClutchie, it should be Godfrey moving to 10 and not Makene.

    @Canes4life

    Ravula is a year younger than Godfrey, a year in u/20s is a big difference. He looks very good to me Ravula watching his u/20 games in the WC considering his team were losing.
    Godfrey too looks very good.

    It looks like Ennor is not moving from the Crusaders this from an interview with Rob Penny
    “The Crusaders will need More mid field depth given Braydon Ennor is expected to miss the majority of the season with a ruptured ACL, Penney confirmed.”

    @Chris I think @george33 has a contact feeding him misinformation.

    Not sure what is going on there.

    George has got a few things correct. I'd rather people post rumours they hear than not post them at all

    It's better than the people who say "yes I heard that" after news becomes public

    @Duluth has he? We raised that question last time this came up but there was no response to any correct rumours previously.

    It's more the fact that he's adamant the signings are a done deal, when infact they clearly aren't.

    There comes a point though, where it is irrelevant, because if you are only right 20% of the time, how do we know it isn't just someone guessing.

    A reasonable amount, mostly about the Blues/Auckland selections. Not a Nogusta success rate but not bad either.

    It would be a shame for him to get chased away from the forum

    If we introduced a mute function for accuracy of previous posts a few posters above would be pretty quiet.

    @Duluth I get that and it's perfectly fine throwing out rumours but when someone is 100% confident that a player is moving (on more than one occasion) despite other commenters suggesting otherwise, it makes you start second guessing that poster every time he brings up a potential player movement.

    And that is discarding the times they have been right.

    Also, I'd rather hear the rumour when it's heard (and still subject to change) than after it's reported.
