@Duluth said in Crusaders 2024:
Do you think LH will start in the top side? WJ on the wing?
really good question LH on the wing or bench I think, WJ will start at FB but other way around would work as well.
That would give the Crusaders a very good goal kicker with Burke out for a while. -

@george33 said in Crusaders 2024:
I could C Havilli at 10, midfield pretty well covered,until he returns
Yes I think so with McLeod and Amua the MF
I hope Havili has improved as a 10 since the last time I saw him there. He looked like a player playing out of position.

@Chris If they stick with the plan of Big Tamaiti playing tighthead, then Kershawl Sykes-Martin would be a reasonable guess.
But, I suspect that plan might be be quietly shelved.
If they go with a tighthead - maybe Seb Calder?
Yes I think you are spot on one or the other

@sparky this is all because Rob Penny doesn't want to be the cheapest guy in the team.
-
Looks like leading questions.. but this articles suggests Halfpenny could be used at 10
Seems unlikely
-
Well this was out of leftfield.
Seems very unlikely they'd use ½p at 10. But he'd be a great guy to have around as a squad player, mentor for younger guys etc.
And I believe he has coaching ambitions, so presumably there'll be some arrangement in place for him to get involved in that side of things.
Plus, after his 3 year stand-down period, he should be eligible for the ABs for the next world cup.

We could call it revenge for the Shane Howarth fiasco. Same position even !

Braydon Ennor to miss all of Super Rugby Season.
Braydon Ennor Injury Update
Braydon Ennor injured his knee in August while playing in the All Blacks versus Australia Bledisloe test in Dunedin. He underwent ACL reconstruction the same month and, unfortunately, he developed an infection in his knee which affected the early stages of his rehab.

Poor fellow. Well at least he's had a mighty fine success rate of getting into the ABs considering the % he is injured.

His reputation could rival Ethan Blackadder in 2024 if he plays his cards right.
