Crusaders 2024

@george33 yeah from what I understand he is still contracted to Northland for 2023 as well as NZR, and going by his recent podcast, he still has a desire to play at the RWC, so that means he needs to stay in NZ for now at least.

[george33]

Yes that was my take on it thanks

@Duluth said in Crusaders 2024:

Late January.. so looking at this year the Crusaders played preseason matches on Feb 10th, 17th and the first SR match was on Feb 24th

If this does happen I would assume no current All Blacks would go.

Not necessarily, RWC ends 28 October, maybe earlier. So a month longer break

[SBW1]

@taniwharugby Same applies to LF, unless another year on Goodhue's contract is on the cards.

@Canes4life said in Crusaders 2024:

@george33 interesting the Canes went after him, maybe looking at a replacement for PUJ.

Wouldn't haven't made proctor too happy. Or Barrett Blues surely would be the best fit

[Canes4life]

@Winger we don’t need Goodhue, I’d rather us spend our energy looking for a couple of big locks and another good hooker.

[taniwharugby]

@Winger possibly rumours of a move north, particularly at NPC and I guess the feel was maybe then the Blues?

Now he's made the ABs, not sure it makes much difference which NPC side he signs for.

[SBW1]

@Winger Is PUJ going to the Landers to be with his twin brother?

That's what the rumour from TSF is.

[Mr Fish]

Goodhue has an offer on the table from Castres but hasn't put pen to paper yet.

[george33]

@Winger Did here that he had another franchise with offer on table and he was seriously considering the offer, but obviously he has decided to stay at crusaders

[SBW1]

[SouthernMann]

What chance Joe Brial makes it next year? Or will he be heading back across the Ta$man?
