    I don't get it - just had a quick browse of the article and isn't Cully just reporting the truth? Doesn't seem anything offensive in the article.

      thats fair enough, i did agree with @bones though, seemed he was just reporting on things the Brown had actually said, not wild speculation or anything

        Solomon's reaction is a joke. Normalising mental health as a conversation is where we've moved to, and that's literally what Cully has done - complete with quotes from the coach, FFS.

          im really starting to think rugby might not be doing him any good and he might want to properly step aside and just work on himself

            He might be outraged without even reading the article.

            He should join the fern, that’s how we do things around here.

                @nepia What throwing back to James Haskell, Ben Te'o, Joe Marchant, Piers Francis etc.
                None of them really showed their ability down here in New Zealand

                  could be a master stroke from Browny, get the all conquering crusaders to get them up to speed and then bring them back

                  I assume this could be to do with Alaimalo, if he actually steps away we'll need another outside back

                          Man - he has some terrible luck. I was really looking forward to watching how he went this year.

                          On the small plus side - he should be just about back to fitness in time to kick off the Mako campaign!

                            I guess we can start looking toward next season

                            i guess we can assume everyone else is either still contracted or being negotiated with?

                            Collins has been a good reliable squad player, hasn't had may MotM's but also hasn't lost many for us, especially since moving to midfield

                            Tokolahi has been a great asset too

                            Ben-Nicholas has never really shone, not sure we'll miss him much

                            Disappointed Hemino is off, hes a real talent

                              Bugs the hell out of me if I’m honest, others seems to get a free ride where as these guys are at least solid and we ignore them, glad for them someone is showing interest

                                Rory van Vugt - broken wrist vs Chiefs

                                  Some attitude issues with Freedom, by all accounts.

                                    @smudge may be true but you have to wonder what is says if we can’t handle those issue but the crusaders think they can or at least he’s good enough to try

                                      Attitude problem is pretty generic. Could be something as simple as a personality clash with the 'wrong' person.

                                        Hey guys what are the chances we'll see Vilimoni koroi on the left wing at the cake tin sat night? either him or Gregory would presume with Timu out for awhile right?

                                          @fakatavafuture i would prefer to see koroi over gregory...gregory looks much better in midfield and i'd like him to concentrate on that

                                          But...Koroi is also obviously our 10/15 cover and so i honestly think id rather see dawai again, give him a chance to redeem himself or maybe we'll see Alaimalo
