@Chris no offence but Toby Bell is along way away from super level, is he NPC this season
He should be although Ennor is back for NPC so game time may be a problem Bell has been impressive since being in the Crusaders enviroment.

@Duluth So that extended run for Havili at 10 came to a sudden halt.

Yeah, Razor wants to see him at 12 now. That's what I am hearing anyway.

Yeah. Maybe it would’ve continued if they had enough fit midfielders?

@Duluth State of the Union lunch is on tomorrow with some players of both sides from that game. Don't know who yet.

@Chris I Am and Tamiti ? What's happened there ,has he been up North for the week
To bring Tamaiti Williams back and straight into the starting line up in a NZ derby when he hasn’t played any rugby since week 1 is terrible management in itself. Hes then pulled before half time, It makes no sense and sets Williams up to fail. You could tell he was well off it in regards to fitness.
I suppose that’s a theme from Penney this season though, he started Halfpenny after being out all season, has a shocker then pulls him early and he’s not in the matchday 23 the following week 😂 very strange to see at super rugby level.

Because Halfpenny had a calf injury he injured at the end of that game, pretty hard to select him the next week running on one leg

Soooo does anyone give the Crusaders a chance this week? The Drua lose and the Crusaders win and somehow they're in the playoffs haha.

A chance? THere's always a starters chance, like the beat the Chiefs. But I see them losing and Drua winning

I was going to pick the Crusaders until I saw the team named. I was expecting Barrett & Blackadder because all the chat had been that those injuries were minor. It'll be tough with so many new combinations. Maybe a 20% chance?
Reds could easily beat the Drua in Fiji though. Lots of travel and Drua's away form was poor. That would be enough to keep the Crusaders alive

It's like a slow death with a glimmer of hope. It's time to put the Saders to sleep.

That will happen this week.
