@kirwan Word is the McCaw homestead, whilst in the Kurow area, is in fact on the other side of the Waitaki, which puts him at least 5m inside the Crusaders' catchment.
shit like this is how Poland ended up disappearing from the map
I didn't say we would annex Kurow.
no one ever says it publicly
But they DO speak Crusader down there
Do they? All the Kurowians I know are Otago / North Otago stalwarts despite being officially Cantabs.
yeah, i was always raised with south of the Waitaki is Otago/north otago including Kurow, even if not offical

Wait, we put that hot pile of rubbish on the front page?
Wait, we have a front page?
Seriously, I just go straight to the forum ... don't really check the front page ever. Pity, as there are no doubt some good posts highlighted there

Worth a look, Duluth has some awesome stats/results pages up there now.

And here it is. The most underwhelming Crusaders signing in many years.
Stop criticising the Crusaders! Everyone picks on them. It’s not fair.
Too right.
Some of you ungrateful fucks need to start thanking us for allowing the comp to benefit from the players we develop.
The Chiefs have been propped up by Retallick, Leinert-Brown and McKenzie (the good family members; not Calum, Daniel and Marty). Their poaching knows no bounds with Dom Bird, Tom Sanders, SBW, Nepo Laulala and Solomon Alaimalo other shining examples helping to form their patchwork quilt of a playing roster over the last decade.
We let one of our best up and coming coaches head north to try and make the Blues respectable and eventually get them to a faux championship, whilst also gifting them Sam Darry this year as a further boost. Hell, we even allowed and forgave DC a Blues dalliance recently. Not so much those Chemist Warehouse ads. Our generosity should be acknowledged.
The Hurricanes have benefitted from, well, umm, Reed Prinsep, but at 1.78m he's given their line out a significant boost now for a number of years. Oh and Mal Arnold. Or was it Derek Maisley.
Then I notice Highlanders fans never utter a peep when these threads turn into poaching debates. And nor should they given the encyclopaedia of Crusaders and just generally good Cantabs theyve picked up over the years to plug the seive-like holes in their annual roster scramble. Lately they've gone for a Stiflers' mom approach and pilfered the likes of Sam Gilbert and Will Tucker but they also like to have a veritable who's who of Cantab loose forwards in the mix with Harmon and Lentjes there now to replace Dixon and Manu. And let's not forget Sam Harding. Patrick Osborne, Colin Slade and Rob Thompson were lured south from the Crusaders environment to bolster backlines past and where would they have been without Chris King, Siate Tokolahi and DLB. But we still love you, Highlanders.

This surely a joke isn’t it?

And Chay Fihaki, Ennor more a centre now,By the looks Jordan and Bridge to cover FB,
But he still sits as 3rd or 4th wing. -

I have to give it to the Saders, if you can break through there, you'll likely see an AB jersey, so why not I guess.
