Does Pari-Pari mean Slow-Motion?
Was just going to ask if he is carrying injuries

I would expect the Force to lift playing at home against a shaky Crusaders outfit - if they get a decent early lead will be hard to beat
@dogmeat said in Movie review thread...:
@MN5 I actually know the Oppenheimer story pretty well and enough of the science to follow it easily and I had exactly the same reaction. Glaciers are melting faster than this plot advances. It's well-crafted but it screams "Look at me, I'm Oscar worthy".
I turned it off halfway through with the intent of watching the rest, but haven't yet and probably won't.
5 Neutrons out of 5 Hydrogens for tittle watch though
Not sure how many Crusader games Will Jordan has played in the last couple of years
Canes comp to lose this year, daylight or the brumbies to be runners up
Looks Michelin 3star level
@Daffy-Jaffy said in Crusaders 2024:
@Nevorian If Christie is so unfit he has done well to currently be the comps top tackler with 111 in 5 games, 31 more than the second best (Bell also from the Crusaders, with Harmon 3rd with 78).
Admit I didn’t check his tackle stats, I was thinking more of his fitness at getting around the park and getting to the breakdown which doesn’t seem as prevalent this season. Guess he is just knackered from making all of those extra tackles

@Duluth said in Crusaders 2024:
Yeah that would be a factor
My main point is that it is not all Penney. Yes he’s shit. There have been recruitment problems, the quality coming out of the Canterbury system has dropped back to the pack. Plus the players aren’t performing. Some appear in poor physical shape (attitude?)
I have read on here a couple of times the last few days about some Saders appearing out of shape. I haven't noticed it myself. I am not disputing it, but who is looking unfit compared to previous seasons?
Grace and Christie and Moody and Heinz and Havili and Aumua for a start, Actually Reece might be the only one looking fitter
@Duluth said in Blues v Crusaders:
A few Crusaders with some poor tackle stats
Grace missed 8, Hannah missed 7
Contrary to what TJ and Marshall said the misses were spread out across the game. Crusaders missed 44 tackles, but they actually missed 23 in the first half
23/44 is about 50% so yes probably spread out across the game but what difference it makes not sure it is an absurdly high miss rate
Some good signs for the Lions v Oz next year
Just as I was contemplating dropping myself after this last weekend’s performance
Bower is probably best of Crusader forwards
Chance to score and so kick for touch
@Canes4life said in Crusaders vs Hurricanes:
Roigard needs to snipe more.
Plenty of space there for him
Reece is trying to motivate his fellow backs
Jeez Christie has lost some form
