<p>Yep, Romano is very average.</p>

<p>Not as average as Crotty. How Crotty is in the ABs is beyond me. To think that a few clowns on here wanted him over SBW last year is truly laughable.</p> -
Come on saders get rid of tge canes BP please

<p>I think when the RC squad is named you'll find Hansen is a clown so.</p> -
<p>Well that sums it up.</p>
-
<p>I thought the Crusaders were title contenders: absolutely not!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't think the Canes were title contenders: they are definitely in with a chance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That was a rout.</p> -
<p>yup....get on the plane lads</p>

Great game from canes. Dominated up front. And quite possibly their best game of the year.<br><br>
9 10 was key difference for me. S whitelock massive loss for home team.<br><br>
Role on the next game -

<p>Hansen is a great coach but he's not perfect. He's made selection mistakes before, and will continue to do so like every other coach.</p> -
35-10<br><br>
That was a statement and a half. -

<p>I don't disagree. But there are a fair number of people who feel Crotty is worth his AB spot: yes he's not that dynamic on attack, but he reads the game well, and his defence is excellent. Minimal fuss, calm head, makes right decisions. I won't be fussed if he isn't in the match day 23, but he will definitely make the squad for sure. Compare some of the headless chicken stuff we saw from the more dynamic Fekitoa etc during the Welsh series...</p> -
Fuck me what a game. There a few things more satisfying in rugby then giving the Saders a hiding at home. I was nervous at half time thinking the try before the break would kick the Saders into life, but we just completely dominated the 2nd 40. Boyd has done a pretty incredible job with the Canes, undoing the damage by Hammateur and turning us into genuine title contenders for the 2nd year running.

<p>Fekitoa played well with the limited opportunities he got playing outside Crotty.</p> -
<p>crusaders absolutely smashed. going on the last few weeks i think that west vs mounga debate is pretty easily answered. nadolo has looked off his normal standard the last couple weeks, maybe injured? actually thought drummond was okay apart from the inexcusable charge down; fukofuka on the other hand was panicky andconstantly passed high. blackadder pulled drummond and shouldn't have. likewise franks. seemed to be subs by the numbers. tactics were shit, suffered from a total lack of possession, then when they did get it, kept kicking it back to the canes, just stupid.</p>
<p>canes were really good. barrett is still improving which is nice to see, controlled the game nicely. thought shields was more influential than vito or savea. mr T played a blinder. coles is good eh - a really good lineout thrower, that move for the gibbins break was sweet to watch. fifita is a cock. jules. wake up mate, for everyone's sake. </p>
