Crusaders 2024

[Dan54]

Crusaders have lost Havili-Talitui to MP, not knocking Crusaders by ant means, but I find that quite good news.

[Chris]

@Dan54

It works out well for MP and Sione as well, closer to his extended family and he is in the Tongan squad.
It is probably how it should work players playing for Tonga,Samoa contacted to MP instead of NZ.

[SBW1]

How likely are we to get someone back like Jordan Tafua?

Ryan Crotty probably as well. An oldie but a goodie in regards to both.

[Canes4life]

@SBW1 Crotty hasn’t officially been announced but he will be there in 2024.

Shit draw. 8 away games 6 at home
away to the Dura again plus playing the Chiefs and Blues twice same as 2023.Play the Waratahs twice both games in Australia,
2023 all over again.

@Chris Maybe everyone already thought or knew this and I'm just a bit slow, but I think that franchises chose to give away a home game to the Melbourne round. Surely, they wouldn't force franchises to hand over a home game for three consecutive years? That would be incredibly unfair and I just can't see the NZ franchises roll over and accept that.

Just coming on to post that I know that there are some players moving. Not going to say any more than that but I thought it important to post that I know something that the rest of you don’t.

Thanks for that it is good to know people know that players are moving and they are telling us about the moving that maybe going on that you know about.😎

Any room for Roe down there? He's the next Smith and is likely to be stuck behind Ratima at the chiefs.

No room Heinz just re signed and Drummond and Hotham are already contracted for 2024/2025

[Bones]

@Chris that's a shame, he's better than them imo.

Hopefully he'll get plenty of time at the chiefs with Weber gone then.

Is that you, Dad?!

@nostrildamus him and ALB were forming a real good centre pairing until Hansen brought SBW back.

Matt Giteau was really impressed with RC.

@Billy-Tell Willie Heinz is injury cover for Roigard at the RWC?

I totally agree. I think Crotty was accused by some of being a journeyman and he wasn't a big specimen but he added consistency to the backline, some solidity. Didn't let the ABs down in my opinion.
