Crusaders v Moana Pasifika

[Donsteppa]

Smashed 'em bro.

[KiwiMurph]

That was really well worked

[Jailbreak7]

I see we have dispensed with foul play rules

[Donsteppa]

And after all that, 17+ still squeaks in as a safe tip (conversion assuming...)

You referring to the crusaders tackle earlier that was only penalised?

[Yeetyaah]

Moana so close barring a few howlers. Crusaders looked poor. Entertaining game as a neutral.

Pretty good by a severely depleted crusaders. Held their nerve in the end and were only going to get done by a miracle or two.

The old stager has come to the party. I think I prefer Heinz to Drummond. Felt Drummond was too hesitant whereas Heinz has been decisive.

Nanai may not have his old explosion but still has the silky skills

[Stargazer]

Haven't read the thread, but just in case it wasn't mentioned.
Goodhue passed his HIA. They kept him off as a precaution.

Dallas McCleod looks the business.

Really struggling with your concept of comedy fella.

Definitely improved on last season and looks at home at super level - but the calls from a wee while ago for him to be an AB after one good game were over the top.

Keeps this up he'll definitely be in contention next year, especially if he shows he can cover 13 too.

I agree. Two good (not outstanding) games do not make you a contender for the ABs. Otherwise, players like Kini Naholo or Brett Cameron could be in the same bandwagon.

Canes have been asked to put Kini on ice so there's no analysis for the RWC.

Oh, wrong thread

Thoughts. The Crusaders are missing Hall big time, although Heinz is an experienced campaigner, he isn't a starter. Might have to start the young fella halfback and hope for the best. Dom Gardiner is showing the most potential out of all the up-and-coming, young loosies in the comp. Lock is not his position but he adds a Graham Higginson-type presence anyway.
Aumua at 13 for Moana is the dog's balls. Potentially could be a big presence at a higher level esp. surrounded by better players.

[Old Samurai Jack]

Ooooh, and very telling comments by Mounga on how Razor lets him play his natural game in the Crusaders...

Its probably more indicative that a lot of people are not settled on our AB centers currently, and happy to consider options.
