The Crusaders are relying on NZ Rugby making 10 staff redundant to pay for Richie Mo'unga
Its kind of pathetic. RM made his choice so work with those who want to be here. But he's a Crusader and Robertson etc
I would like to see Love get game time at 1st for Wellington. But JGB is back so unlikely. But JGB is fine at NPC level (better than Morgan by far) but struggles at super level

Higgins gets massive wraps for a guy that's done fuck all.
He wasn’t bad covering Jordie when he was red carded earlier in the year but the kid just needs more game time at Super, hasn’t had too much opportunity. Same goes with Harry Godfrey. Higgins has definitely shown the full array of skills playing for Wellington the last two seasons including being a big reason we won the title in 2022. Hope he can transfer that to Super where he has plenty to prove.

Caleb Delany will never be an All Black if he stays at lock. His future is on the blindside flank, IMO.
Agree, hopefully Delany shifts back there now Gallagher is in the side.

Higgins was VG in these games. And is likely to improve a lot still

deleted my slightly snarky comment. Reckon in all honesty the Canes will have a decent side next season even with these movements.

@canefan cam to ten
Then he can't play 9...
Viljeon is the second best halfback ever so no worries

What every Canes fan wants to see, Godfrey getting time in the 10 jersey for HB.

Check out the right winger. He returns.
Was excellent for Otago and actually wondered why Highlanders didn’t take a solid look. Sounds more like off field stuff and a injury here and there has gotten in his way.

@Landers92 could be an option for the Canes if he plays well in the NPC,

I'm pretty sure he played rugby league in Auckland last year. Saw an article somewhere that said only being a partially contracted player in Dunedin was difficult financially, and that's why he returned to Auckland. Probably at that level where he was a very competent NPC winger. Just not Super quality.
