So with Blackadder out I wonder if that means Scott Barrett will play time at 6?

With Douglas presumably at 8, Sanders is serviceable but probably nothing more and Roots is a rookie.

I can't really see it. With Whitelock unavailable, Barrett will be our number 1 lock.

Ethan didn't really have the 6 jersey nailed up - e.g. way fewer Super caps than Sanders.

Main impact, at least initially, is that it gives Sanders, Roots, and maybe even Dunshea, a chance to press for the spot ahead of him.

We might also see a Harmon/Christie - Havalli scenario on the flanks. Douglas covers the 3rd line out jumping option.

Sounds like Ethan Blackadder is out for most of the season. Recovering from shoulder surgery

I wonder who the injury replacement will be any word on extra players training with the squad ?

@KiwiMurph Looks like a shattered window maybe the correct design then. or a very bad tile design in a bathroom.

Now the PC brigade has failed in changing the Crusaders name we will probably have to sit through shit like, the Highlanders have a sword get rid of it,
The Blues name is too close to depression thats got to go, or the Hurricanes are called after a nasty weather event that has to go the Chiefs well who knows something will be thought up.

@chchfanatic said in Crusaders 2020:

@Chris I reckon Greg Feek has to be up there.

Makes sense if Ryan goes with Razor to the AB’s
I heard Daryl Gibson’s name mentioned but only a Rumour not from a definite source.

@chchfanatic said in Crusaders 2020:

@Chris I’ve tried to get it out of my source but got nothing. It’ll all be revealed on the 12th dec.

Will be interesting

@Chris Scott Robertson being part of the abs coaching setup. He hasn’t even had his interview yet. Think maybe these journalists should actually do some research

Journalist and research...

Getting worse as the years roll on.

Yep I think thats jumping the Gun isn't it, Any word on the new coach being added to the Crusaders coaching group is he a potential head Coach ? if Robertson goes to the AB's

@Number-10 said in Crusaders 2020:

TV One Midday News reported the logo above as being the new one.

They also reported there could well be an announcement on their coaching makeup with Scott Robertson apparently part of the new AB's coaching setup.

New coach coming in I hear, not sure of the structure

@Hooroo C = champions.

C = Cheats. Cynical. Cronyism.

Ch = Cheats = Chiefs

That sounds more like it
