    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

                  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.

                      @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

                              @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
