    I saw a Classic Sports post with this years crusaders Jersey so im assuming we're not getting new ones this year, same as 2024. A little disappointing as they felt a bit rushed, and i believe they came in late so that makes sense but though we might get something new a year down the track

    Most years it's a 2 year jerseys cycle. 96, 97-99, 2000 and 2013 are the only years we didn't. Chiefs are the only exception with a different jersey in 97 compared to their 98/99.

    @Kiwiwomble blame Adidas for pulling out last minute.

    @Yeetyaah ...not actually blaming any one for anything, i just find things like jersey design interesting, was excited to see what classic had to offer after so long with adidas phoning it in...and this years we're understandably pretty bland so had my fingers crossed

    Looking at that Waratahs squad and considering their draw... I just can't see a loss on the schedule.

    I'd even suggest the British Lions would be underdogs against us.

    The Replica Jerseys are all on sale right now with several sizes sold out, so it could be that we will see new Jerseys. I think Classic do new ones each season for the League clubs.

    Video interviews with Laidlaw (about the 1st 5s and TH props) and McMillan (McAlister) within the article.

    Nope they were marketed as 2024/25. Some of the jerseys have new collars next year and as far as I know the Chiefs will be getting a new heritage jersey.

    I think Joe Moody was still hoping to keep playing in 2025

    He's well past it. Wouldn't offer anything to anyone these days.

    @African-Monkey Watching him in the ABs in 2021 was so fucking painful. He should have retired in 2016.

    James Tucker at lock. He's better than his brother, who the Hurricanes replaced him with. I note that Jacob Norris isn't at MP either.

    @frugby Rob Rush was offered a Chiefs All Black injury cover /wider training spot but he declined it and is pushing for a spot in the NZ Sevens program, Clayton MacMillian even spoke to him about the things he could work on and potentially iron out .
    For me Rush has missed a trick here your being offered a great opportunity from a quality coach to sort out some works ons in your game
    It’s real red flag stuff that you can’t be told what to do
    Got a lot time for Rob but man alive it’s a poor decision imo

    Heremaia Murray is still a possibility to make the Reds paperwork is proving to be an issue if this is sorted it will be a 2 year deal which will mean he will have to forgo his NPC contract with Northland
    Should none of these things eventuate then he’s back to Northland

    Both Lisati Milo Harris and Quinton Nichols are in the Blues wider training squad

    Some unlucky players in the list you posted but I suspect many might be part of preseason and wider training squads

    As with this year, a lot of the players that miss out on a full contract look to MLR as the money is better and they get to play. Joe Johnston, for example, is back to the New England Free Jacks.

    Surprised most with Kumeroa, Kolose, Plummer, Lennox, Hutchinson.
    Is Ayden Johnstone off overseas?
    Ollie Mathis should be contracted somewhere, but am OK if it is sevens.

    Plummer and Kumeroa are both interesting ones for sure. Plummer, Lennox & Hutchinson have definitely fallen victim to the contracting system, where nearly all spots are filled prior to the NPC - particularly Lennox, who plays in a specialist position, but he'd probably be the #2 at the Highlanders, Hurricanes and maybe even the Crusaders.
