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.
Is it a very good signing? A prop well past his best. Feels more like a last man standing selection. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

I’m intrigued at how mobile he is these days considering he looked like a statue from Easter Island last time I saw him play

@Billy-Tell feel like it's probably the best signing they could make - load of young props leading the charge for him to pass on some knowledge, skill and ethic to - with the added bonus of knowing you've got a solid backup should injury hit.

Have to say I was pleased to see Crusaders on news again last night. I thought it was good when Blues were doing it and think similar with Crusaders. All part of keeping rugby and super etc on the minds of people, personally think this kind of stuff is bloody good from all involved.

The end of the golden era? The big questions for the Crusaders to answer in 2024
After a historically long period of dominance, it's hard to imagine the team being anything other than the gold standard.

Just heard on SENZ that Munster sold out their 15,000 seat ground for the Crusaders game in 20 mins, so they moved it to the local 40,000 seat Gaelic Football stadium and that also sold out. A tough ask for the Crusaders for a first preseason hit out in front of 40,000 rabid Munster fans. It should be fun. I hope we can watch in NZ?
Edit: It is the first 6 Nations weekend so Munster won't have their Test players. Will any All Blacks be available for the Saders? -
