      @mariner4life Manasa Mataele (to Western Force).

      who?

      so you look at the Crusaders, see

      Jordan
      Reece
      Bridge
      Ennor
      Fainga'anuku

      all who play your position, and that's where you sign?

      Ain't Super Rugby grand?

      When you’re good at scoring tries due to good players inside you then the Crusaders make prefect sense, plus then he’s only an injury or two away from an AB spot (I mean other players getting injured, not the Ennor method of being selected for the ABs).

        I don't agree with Cully that Naholo has been the most dangerous outside back in the NPC. He's got a couple of teammates who have looked even more dangerous. The problem with Kini is, like his brother, he seems to always get injured.

            who do the Blues have in their backs?

            The Crusaders have 7 fucking All Blacks in their backs alone. Then another guy who was bloody good this year.

                @chris Ala'alatoa is a big loss, but damn the rest of that pack is good.

                    Yep the Blues weak point lock maybe .
                    Dunshea and Stange bench options along with Bower,Williams,Makalio,Havilli
                    makes the pack look strong.

                        oh yeah totally matches up...

                        If the Crusaders don't go unbeaten in 2022 then it's a massive choke job

                                  Don't really get why Naholo has gone to the Crusaders. Don't think he will see much game time there. With Lester, Bridge, Reece, Jordan and Ennor all capable of playing wing I don't think he will see many minutes VS the Highlanders where he could have competed for a starting position.

                                      @stargazer that's true. Probably had room for both though.
