    The thing is no deal has been done the Crusaders are negotiating an early release it may not get over the line.I don't want to throw a name out there and it falls through.But they are looking for a FB who can play wing.
    They are looking at a couple of options.But nothing signed as yet.

    @Chris don't worry I'm sure they aren't a reader of the Fern and we won't judge you if it falls through. 🙂

    @Crazy-Horse and given all the young whipper-snappers running around for the Crusaders, that kind of experience would be invaluable.

    As FB cover he would be useful.

    Am I wrong but I think Aumua's strength and lack of speed make him better suited to 2nd five than centre ?

    I don’t think Amua lack speeds for a centre
    He compares on the same level as Tele’a
    at the highlanders and Lienert -Brown.
    At Centre he has less traffic to negotiate maybe just a one on one tackle to bust that is where he does damage.
    He will go better this week with Havilli inside him to give him space.
    McLeod at 2nd five is a blind runner who cuts back in and away from his centre McLeod had a lot of carries last week but nothing went outside him all game or he spilled the pass.

    @Chris His big work on is defence. Hasn't improved from last season, if round one was a valid indication. He was also inconsistent for Ta$man last year.

    I think playing with McLeod didn’t help they both are similar in defence.
    Hopefully Ellison can improve that.
    I think DMac felt one Amua hit.

    Is that a typo and it's Riley Hohepa on the bench? He has been with the Chiefs so must not be needed now.

    Johnny McNicholl to return to New Zealand

    Johnny McNicholl to return to New Zealand

    Scarlets have agreed to Johnny McNicholl’s request to be released from his contract to take up a playing opportunity in New Zealand. McNicholl, 33, made 130 appearances for the Scarlets over eight…

    He must have got tired of being in a team that has been embarrassingly poor (as well as struggling big time financially) these last two seasons.
