Crusaders v Highlanders (pre-season wk1)
-
The only conclusions I will draw is Adam Lennox should be pissed off he was such a team man in the NPC. He looked lost at sea at halfback. Plus Pasitoa is stalking Cam Millar for the starting 10 jersey.
Most of the other stuff is manageable.

i know it sounds like a bit of a joke but a drawn second half is actually....something, stop the rot, didn't give up

Depends how quickly they sort it out. R1 Crusaders, R2 Chiefs, R3 Reds, R4 Crusaders, R5 Hurricanes.
Thats a tough road while figuring it out

Preseason you can’t take much out of it except how some young guys step up.
Letiu ,Mathis,Lee,Treacy,Kunawave
All look like great prospects for the Crusaders,
Kellow,Kemera,Blackadder hit the ground running and looked really good.
Whaanga looked decent,Solomon has some skills and Tangitau looked dangerous as always.
Howden and Lasaqa put in big shifts
Landers still have a good squad will be a tough team to play. -
@jimmyb could agree more.
Pasetoa looked sharp at 10. Only challenge could be the mix then. Ideally you want a playmaker 12 outside a 10 like that. Big Jim is more of a crash it guy.
But you could run for round 1 (assuming big Jim isn’t available). And I’d be fine with it.
- Fakatava
- Pasetoa
- Nareki
- Telea
- Lowe
- Tangitau
- JRK
- Shearer
- Solomon
- Whaanga

@jimmyb Any highlights from the back three?
Tangitau is fast. The rest can’t kick, catch, or make a line break
Jesus mate the back 3 were fine, the least of our concerns. Dont get too negative, it’s only pre season 1.

Yeh they were ok, I’ll take that back. We desperately need Nareki back though

Tito-Harris is 21 and Solomon is 20. Both in their first outings. The kids were never going to be perfect straight off the bat.

@SouthernMann I can’t believe they are considering Hammington over him.
Hammington is being considered for the WTG spot, Shearer is elevated to the main squad.
