    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.

    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.

    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 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2002, 2000, 1999, 1998

    @Chris Have you seen Dallas McLeod play centre?

    I'd be quite interested to pair him with Dave Havili in the midfield.

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

    Very good signing and quite surprising as I thought he had gone to Japan. We have definitely brought in some experience for next season with Crotty and Mataele coming in. Have a feeling Rob Penney seems like an interim coach, more than a long term replacement. We will wait and see, I always felt the most likely replacement for Razor was Goodman.

    Pretty tough gig. Come replace a coach who won 7 straight titles and never lost a knockout game. Still - he knows what he's in for and probably his last shot at a Super head coaching role.

    Ellison or Goodman taking over in 2 years time makes sense.

    A young loose forward (6/8). He was a good prospect at 1st XV level but has been injured in recent years IIRC.
