I have not heard, read or seen any substance to overtures being made.That is a bit of a pie in the sky comment.
To be fair if you have watched any of LF s games for Toulon he has been very good although it has been at Centre.I think the midfield is his future. Think he'd make a good 12 tbh and would love to see him tried there for the Crusaders.
Yeah I think that is what will happen MF for the Crusaders.
As I Think Amua and Havilli or Ennor will move on after 2025. -
It's been a season marred by awful selections, a game plan that hasn't worked in at least 10 years, strong Crusader bias (type of thing you'd see in amateur teams not professional), anti-Blues bias despite them being the best team in Super, form players from other franchises like the Canes barely getting a look in, and now this wanking on about selecting overseas players continues. And the worst part about the overseas players request is that there is not a single player playing outside of NZ that is actually better than what we have here already. And worse still, it's centered around a player that could never properly make the step up to test footy after 60 odd caps!
At this stage I would be fine if NZR got rid of Razor over the summer and went out to market again to look for a coach with international experience that can get the best out of our players. It's very clear we do have the cattle to take back the No.1 spot, but we don't have the coaches.

I do find it amusing, highlighted by Parsons and Hall on the ARP, that some commentators mention that the record could have been better but for the close loses, and fail to acknowledge the close wins (Eng x 3, Aust) that could have went the other way. Fine margins.
I have been saying exactly that but the other way around. My glass is obviously half full.

One fucking guy prepared to just say what they think. Build a show for the Beaver.
he isnt bad in the media Beaver ,
ive heard him a bit on SENz and he mixes some pretty good analysis with humor quite well , although his sidekick kirsty can be a bit annoying

I don't always agree with JK, but he's hit the nail on the head this time

Legendary All Blacks winger Sir John Kirwan has weighed in on New Zealand Rugby's policy around selection of overseas players.
The board should issue Razor with a hard no to the overseas player eligibility question. As one poster said, you're either with us or you're not

He might even be as good as Lam, not that it matters for selection.

We need a team manager for this journey.

@Nepia There's a man on a ten match winning streak!
I think he's intently looking at how Will Jordan holds the ball and deciding which midfielders he's going to replace him with at fullback.
Very tightly if in space with support, very loosely if getting tackled.
Couldn't resist.

Probably shift him to centre.
No, that was Harty!

If the reverse jinx doesn't work, keep doubling down.

@No-Quarter I pretty much agree with yr sentiments. I was always a bit dubious about Robertson, given his narrow experience but you couldn't argue he fully deserved a chance.
Where I don't back you up is on the notion of potentially binning him after one season. To me that smacks of football managers in the EPL and I wouldn't want NZR to go down that route. He did have a tough set of opponents. The Argie loss apart results have been broadly what I expected. It's more his intransigence and apparent lack of coaching nous that concerns me. It seems it's all about the vibe. However, I am firmly in favour of giving him the chance to learn from is mistakes. If he doesn't then it's time to roll out Mme Guillotine this time next year.

Glass half full guys
Mind you, everyone's gonna stand up for him when they made him out to be the best thing since sliced bread during the Fozzie reign.
Fozzie just had to breathe and the media and public (especially Cantabs) were out to get him.
Harsh generalisation. I welcomed him, as did a number of others. But he has not lived up to his promise so far, and deserves to be put on notice with a no holds barred end of season performance review
Yeah and guys like yourself have called him out on his shortcomings, unlike a lot of his followers who just defend everything he does because it's him.
