    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Northland outside back Heremaia Murray has been signed by the Crusaders for 2024 , great reward for a stellar Npc season.

    @SBW1 with Fergus Burke out, i would imagine Rivez Reihana and Taha Kemara now battle for the number 1 spot , i suspect with Burkes injury depending on the recovery time they will want to bring in an experienced head in the group.
    Reihana has been very good for the Taniwha and has grown as a player, time in the saddle helps.
    Maybe Aaron Cruden could be an option, Harford looks a tidy piviot but for me i would still want someone with runs on the board.
