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

[Canes4life]

@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.

@Canes4life

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

[Kirwan]

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

[Canes4life]

@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.

[Kirwan]

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.

Out for 9 months or more what does his contract say ? Ask Jamie Joseph he's behind it ,I've done my part

[Chris]

@george33
Yes 9 months at least Ennor has a ruptured ACL for the second time.

Media release:

George Bower Signs with Crusaders to 2025

George Bower will be pulling on a Crusaders jersey for the foreseeable future, with the 31-year-old prop signing on with the franchise until 2025.

[chchfanatic]

Te Kaha won't open until April 2026, but the Crusaders are urging fans to go on a priority list for tickets.
Colin Mansbridge thinks the crusaders will sell out the season tickets at the new stadium. He’s dreaming. Rugby will be dead by then.

[Chris]

It seems the Isaiah Ravula’s signing is not a 100% done deal as the Drua and Hurricanes are hunting his signature as well.
Cruden has also had a discussion with The Crusaders nothing has come of that as yet.

[Steven Harris]

Rivez Reihana has been signed by the Crusaders .

[Bovidae]

Reihana was always going to be struggling for game time at the Chiefs with the return of Trask. Hopefully he gets more opportunities to play at the Crusaders. I guess that points to Ioane staying at the Chiefs too.

Why doesn't anyone sign Alex Harford for Super rugby? He has looked very good every time I have seen him play for Canterbury. Better than half the 10s that played Super rugby last season.

Quite interesting that Crusaders have got 2-10s that wouldn't get gametime at Chiefs.

[SBW1]

Aaron Cruden would be a handy pickup for the Saders. Next year's squad is starting to attract a few veterans with Heinz locked in and Crotty.

Yeah the Chiefs should stop hoarding players. It's not fair.
