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.

[Kiwiwomble]

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

@bones if he is in a bad spot he probably doent see that is nothing in article,

He might be outraged without even reading the article.

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

@yeetyaah Denny Solomona has been on the lookout for a Kiwi super rugby spot.

I don't think we should be giving spots to an Englishman.

[NateHill74]

@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!

Naholo, Vahaakolo, Abraham Pole and Ricky Jackson with Crusaders…

[Kiwiwomble]

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

[Bovidae]

Some injuries:

Christian Lio-Willie - broken hand (replaced in squad by Fabian Holland)
Rory van Vugt - broken wrist vs Chiefs

Some attitude issues with Freedom, by all accounts.

[Kiwiwomble]

@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

[Crazy Horse]

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

[Grooter]

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?

[Kiwiwomble]

@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

[Grooter]

@kiwiwomble tikoisolomone the winger from the naki is another option although even at npc level I think most of his appearances were off the pine , there's also the small speedy fella from Waikato that's joined the squad coombes fabling but he's only been in the set up for like a week

[macmanus]

Who is?
