    Two players have re-signed with the Crusaders: Mitchell Drummond (2024) and Leicester Fainga'anuku (2023).

    I had to read that just to see if Stuff knew what "multiple" means, because I wondered if he could play soccer or AFL or something. It turns out they don't. It was just league.

    Rugby and League makes it multiple codes chasing his signature.

    @frye No it doesn't.
    Multiple being defined as several. That is two codes. It needs to be three to be multiple.

    having or involving several parts, elements, or members.

    Several:

    more than two but not many..

    A journalist should know that, but it was Stuff..

    @snowy my interpretation is that Rugby already had it anyway, so for multiple codes to be chasing his signature, it meant multiple codes not including rugby.

    Could have been worded better.

    Classic Ferning here though!

    @kiwiwomble I prefer to use English dictionaries because the language we use is called English, not American.

    From the Oxford:
    many in number

    Yes and that was why I questioned what else he played, not to get into some pathetic argument.

    Could include multiple codes as being boring too.

    So if my information is correct Michael A,Tom Saunders( to Japan) and Brett Cameron not renewing contract will have to be replaced for 2022.
    Pablo Matera is one new player in for 2022.
    The info I have Michael A will not be replaced they will run with the 6 props they have so effectively Matera takes that spot.

    @chris If Sanders is leaving, Matera is taking his spot. If they're really not replacing Alaalatoa, then they can fill a spot somewhere else. It will be interesting to find out where that will be.

    I'd also like to know whether Enari and Hall are staying. Hall because he might go for the coin; Enari, because he again doesn't/won't get much game time if Hall is staying.

    Tbh, I don't see what they see in McLeod. He wasn't good for NZU20s and still isn't. Of course, he's a rookie at this level, but I haven't seen much talent shine through either. I would have liked to see Punivai play at some point, but I guess the youngster has to wait until next season.

    If Cameron is leaving, who'll replace him? Campbell Parata?

    @stargazer agree, McLeod has been very disappointing. Some people talked him up on here a few years ago, but I don't see anything that suggests he will be good.

    Hall has resigned for 2022 Enari I am not sure on.

    On replacing Cameron I have heard some chat around Ollie Lewis .
