@Nevorian If Christie is so unfit he has done well to currently be the comps top tackler with 111 in 5 games, 31 more than the second best (Bell also from the Crusaders, with Harmon 3rd with 78).
Admit I didn’t check his tackle stats, I was thinking more of his fitness at getting around the park and getting to the breakdown which doesn’t seem as prevalent this season. Guess he is just knackered from making all of those extra tackles
-
Christie may be very limited as an openside, but one thing you can't criticise is his effort aound the park. The guy always puts in a shift ad never takes a backward step.
Out of all the Crusaders, he's one of the last who should be in the firing line in terms of criticism.

I want aumua out. He’s been hopeless. I never really watched moana but he was touted as a potential AB when he switched to a NZ super rugby side.

By some of the crappier media elements (Sky pundits, NZ Herald and Stuff writers). Defence has always been very poor, and he is really inconsistent even at NPC level.

Who was he recruited by?

@sparky we got bored of winning.
Actually rugby has got boring. Used to watch and go to all the games. Last couple of years I just don’t care. Now we are terrible I have zero interest in any super rugby.
NRL is soo much more entertaining. The game on Friday night was the greatest atmosphere I’ve ever been a part of.
I’ve got mates who are lifelong rugby fanatics who don’t watch anymore. We used to all have season tickets. Now you can’t give away tickets. Rugby is in a sad state of affairs. -
@chchfanatic lol outside Chch the Rugby has been brilliant to watch. Everyone I've spoken to have really enjoyed the games thus far, in fact many have compared the state of Super Rugby to the 'good old days'. This just seems like a sour post because your boys aren't winning, maybe watch a couple of games that don't involve the Crusaders and you might be pleasantly surprised by how much more skillful the teams have been compared to previous years.
I mean when a Fijian 'toe hacks' the ball to win a match in overtime that to me is sensational viewing.
But jog on with your fickle support, just don't come running back when the Crusaders start winning again.

@chchfanatic Bandwagon 😉
You'll be back on here gloating in no time once your boys win their next title in true Cantab style 😉

@Canes4life Yeah, Super Rugby has been great this year and that's not because of the Crusaders indifferent form either. Most games have been great to watch especially the Drua, and I am also a big league fan.
People love to slag off union and talk up league because it's the cool thing to do these days. There's plenty of stinkers that go on in the NRL contest wise but you wouldn't hear about it with all the bandwagon league fans you have these days.

Rugby is in a sad state of affairs.speak for yourself I guess, I'm finding this the most exciting season of Super Rugby in a long time, the Hurricanes returning to 2015-16 levels of class, Crusaders rock bottom of the table, Highlanders looking like heavyweights again, the Reds performing the best we've seen from them since 2012/2013, the Drua and Moana Pacifica appearing a lot better drilled/coached compared to previous seasons, I'm really enjoying the quality of the matches this season - especially after that absolutely turgid world cup (in terms of viewing experience) due to a pedantic amount of over-officiating.

Not sure telling supporters to jog on is the best thing for the game.
