Crusaders 2024

@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.

Lol well they not really , they sent one to Japan and one to Crusaders last year.

[frugby]

Have heard Ioane Moananu is linking up with the Crusaders again next year as a replacement player (not part of the 38 contracted I don't think) as Codie Taylor is supposedly doing some sort of sabbatical.

Don't know the exact details, but I'm guessing it is more likely an extended break, e.g until May, rather than a contract in Japan.

@frugby

There is also an injury to McAlister which might keep him out of SR for a month.
