Crusaders 2019

@shark said in Crusaders 2019:
There is no chance of Australian schoolboy Campbell Parata, who has been recruited to the Crusaders academy in Nelson, being considered because he is too young.
Easy to say at this stage, but it's not crazy to imagine a 19 year old being thrust into M10 Cup action for Ta$man and going well enough to put himself in the frame for 2019, should the Crusaders suffer an injury or two.
Yeah look at who was on the bench at hooker for the grand final. Nothing’s out of the realm of possibility.

According to the Crusaders' FB page & instagram, they'll announce two re-signings this week.
By the looks of it, the players are Ethan Blackadder and David Havili (I may be wrong, of course). Havili was already signed for 2019, so they must be pretty keen to keep him. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes over the 12 jersey from Crotty after next season, assuming 2019 is Ryan's last season as a Crusader.

It’s blackadder and Drummond I think mate

@stargazer I reckon you're right.
A quick google of photos and that centre photo of a left wrist with the black and cream tape looks like Havili's.

Good. I'm also sure that he has a few more black jerseys in him, if he plays well.

The big question is have we signed All Black Brett Cameron?
-
@act-crusader he hadn’t signed anything before today. Think he’s talking to a couple. The squads are named this week aren’t they
-
@chchfanatic last year's NZ Super squads were announced on 1 November. So I'd assume something similar this year.

Depends on whether we've signed All Black Mike Delany.
With Richie solidifying as a world class first five and Mitch Hunt a more than able back-up, it's probably time to move to developing the next young guy - especially since he's entering the AB frame!
Hopefully, they can keep Delany ticking in club rugby in ChCh so we can call him up if necessary.
Wonder if Razor has signed Reuben O'Neill - we need a new loosehead...
....and someone to replace big Seta?
