Crusaders 2019

[Tim]

@gt12 Perry has been injured a lot, leaving little backup for Moody.

[gt12]

@Tim

Hames would be a good fit, but I wonder if he can come back. I use Hope it’s no other Chief!

[Yeetyaah]

It'd have to be Hames. Does O'Neill count as an All Black when he hadn't been capped?

[Chris]

I hope its not Hames I think his best days are gone.We really need a TH as well as LH backup.We only have Jager as TH backup.
Bower can play both sides

[Stargazer]

Maybe Ofa Tu'ungafasi is doing a Lomax and moves to Chch to join his brother mid-contract.

[chchfanatic]

Only one person has got it right

[Nogusta]

@chchfanatic Ofa Tuugafaasi

Ofa Tuugafaasi

I thought he was signed until 2021? The Blues giving him a release?

[Chris]

Or
Laulala

[Stargazer]

@Duluth That's why I said in my previous post that maybe he'll do a Lomax.

[Tim]

@Nogusta For real? That would ruin the Blues season.

Reuben O'Neill

Plays both sides and could be a great pick up. I'm hoping we don't lose him - contract status for him and others @Stargazer ?

[gt12]

And now I catch up. Is that legit?

Fucking Blues just cannot fucking keep their shit together, if that's true.

Of course, I'll be pleased that we didn't lose our guys

[Chris]

@gt12 Is he classed as an Allblack as he has never been on the field ?

That was one of my questions, but I'm hoping we keep him. It's hard though, because we also have Moli and Ross plus two AB THs....

@gt12 NZRU: "Auckland rugby is one of our top priorities."

Also NZRU: "Hey Blues players, if you're not feeling it just go to the Crusaders."

[Chris]

@gt12 Yep you boys are stocked up with some quality Props, its hard to keep them.Crusaders lost Laulau as he was behind Franks plus he was closer to family and the Chiefs.

[Chris]

@Tim I cant see how all these players can move when they have contracts like Lomax that needs to be tightened up.
Teams think they are sorted in that position for a couple of years then Fuk me I am off and they get blindsided.

[Tim]

@Chris Yep, absolutely fucked, and a massive disincentive to investment.

[Stargazer]

I think everyone needs to calm down. It's a rumour that one Ferner has heard. That doesn't make it true until his move has been officially announced/confirmed.
