    @Chris said in Crusaders 2026:

    I hear most of the squad is signed or has been re signed main areas are who the 3rd HB will be Drummond or Chapman maybe.
    3rd First five James White or look for an experienced option.
    Find a place for Oil Mathis maybe at Fletcher Andersons expense.
    Maybe replace Strange if he goes overseas he has a contract in front of him.
    Liam Jack probably will get that spot if Strange does move.
    6th Prop stick with Finlay Brewis or look elsewhere.

    I'd be surprised if Drummond sticks around for Super next year as he is likely going to be the third or fourth ranked halfback behind Hotham, Preston & possibly Louis Chapman in the mix too.

    I agree I think Chapman maybe in the mix for the 3rd contract spot.
    Especially if he has a strong NPC.

    You mean the Bell Medal?
