Weakest looking Crusaders squad I can remember. I think they will finish behind the Chiefs and the Blues this year. Semi Finalists at best.
2016 we had to find a new first five and signed a rookie Mo'unga, Ben Volavola and Marty McKenzie and let them shoot it out.

Very ordinary - especially in the backs.
We will need Penney to be a decent coach and better luck with injuries than last year.

@Chris Have you seen Dallas McLeod play centre?
I'd be quite interested to pair him with Dave Havili in the midfield.
Yes he played there for Canterbury at times, I prefer him at 2nd five but those two and Amua will all get game time together.
I do like Amuas power game.

@Chris He had an RWC cover contract. All RWC cover contracts have now ended (there was a mandatory end-date). So he'll only stay at Toulouse if they are able to offer him another contract. For example, they could offer him an injury replacement contract if there's a long-term injury at prop.

Thanks for that, he maybe the experienced prop the Crusaders are looking for.

I think it's a bit too early to say that. He's a 21 year old prop. He could be anything
Yeah I agree he is only 21 young for a prop he is 121 kg not a bad size for a prop.
Let’s see if he develops any further before writing him off. -

Yes, it would be great as Seb Calder is just a journeyman at NPC level. Franks could bring his experience to the likes of Newell and Williams.
Frank's presence at the Canes coincided with the rise of Lomax...

I hear you. But to be perfectly honest if another team can't win the title this year that says more about the state of the other teams than it does the Crusaders. It's a golden chance for other teams this year to win it.
We’ve been ruining super rugby since

Lomax was already on that path at the Landers. Canes set him back..
