    Blues are assembling a reasonable squad with a few Crusader discards including the coach.

    Leon was so discarded he played over 100 games for the Crusaders.
    Here is a picture of the Blues looking very discarded.
    Thanks for rubbing it in.

    picture of discarded players and coach in utter woe

    Well done on winning that title but it wasn't really a true title.The Blues never had to play the Crusaders to win it. Current super rugby stats has 39 Crusaders wins to 11 Blues wins.Since SR started.
    When was the last time the Blues beat the Crusaders,Thats not a shitty question just I cant remember exactly was it 3 years ago ?.
    Don't get me wrong I am glad to see the Blues on the way up Super Rugby needs it.
    But that title doesn't really cut it compared to Super Rugby Aotearoa.
    And some of you will call me Salty because the Blues won a lesser title,But I am just pointing out a few truths.
    Enjoy the post .

    @chris You guys ony have yourselves to blame for not winning SRTT. Two awful performances against the Brumbies and Force ended your hopes.

      ha ha ha, love the salty tears of impotent rage.

      tell me, how did you feel about the Crusaders players crying on the field after missing the final? Think it didn't matter to them?

          @nzzp I disagree with my crusaders mate above. It was a true title and we weren’t good enough. We knew the rules beforehand.

            be honest, you're not really from Christchurch are you 😄

            Look, after the drought we had, and the inept adminstration, getting any title is a bonus. We'll take it ... UEFA cups still count right.

              Ahhh I think we won those games and went through unbeaten.
              Great competition if you go through unbeaten and can’t make the play offs.

                I thought to myself the players are crying because of the stupid format where you win every game, and don’t get to play in the play off.

                  I'm sorry I didn't know there was a rule that a competition isn't a real competition unless the winner has played the Crusaders.
                  And if the Crusaders weren't good enough to win it, and they were in the competition weren't they, maybe then it is actually a GREATER competition.
                  Because the Blues have won both comps.
                  But you won't hear me getting salty about it.
                  Cos it was just regards some poster's remark about "Crusaders discards".
                  If you think about it, I was defending the reputation of some former Crusader players.

                    Remember you were a missed conversion away from a draws at home to an Aussie side, and fell over the line against the Rebels? That's what cost you in the end.

                      I agree totally we stuffed up.
                      But it is still not a true competition in that stupid format.
                      If you beat us in 2022 and win the title,I will be the first to congratulate you.
                      As I said in my post,I want the Blues to be strong we need it for AB rugby and for SR.
                      In saying that I still want to beat you.

                                @chris As @chchfanatic said, your crew knew what to do and fucked it up. No ones fault but your own.

                                Totally agree we fucked up,That doesn't turn the comp into a true competition.
                                Thats my point not about the Blues not deserving to win.
                                My point being the Competition format was seriously flawed

                                          After all of this banter I'm looking forward to the first Blues-Crusaders game next year. 🙂

                                          oh we'll probably lose. Y'know, low expectations ... but we'll still be reigning SRTT champions.
