We are never favourites, it’s always the Chiefs and Blues.
Get away with you.
I barely follow SR these days but even I know the Crusaders are perennial favourites.
I guess this year will show how much of Razor's reign was his superlative coaching ability and how much was an illustration of just how shit Todd Blackadder was.
um didn't he only miss playoffs once and took them to 2 or 3 finals and at least one of those seasons didn't have a stadium? Maybe mediocre but "shit" seems unfair.

I think a lot of other SR coaches would take that record of Blackadder's ,not shit compared to other SR coaches but not up to the Crusaders winning standard.

A debatable penalty against the goat at the end too IIRC.

i dislike the Crusaders as much or more than the next bloke...but winning in 2011 would have been an epic story

Find it really strange that RM has no desire to play for the ABs again. He would be under his Crusader's coach, he was on the cusp of owning the 10 jersey and really cementing himself as possibly one of our great No.10s. Seems weird, surely there isn't more to it than meets the eye.

Easy to say, but I'll believe it when I see it. Why sign a three year deal then? Perfectly timed for him to return in 2027.

3 years is a long time in All Black rugby. I don't think he could leave assuming he could walk back into the squad again

Calculated risk... but does anyone really see DMac, Perofeta or B Barrett as the long term ABs 10? I'm doubtful. Only real threat is if one of the youngsters (Kemara & Millar the two who jump out?) stun us all by taking their respective games to new heights.

IMHO if he comes back and walks into the starters role, we are gonna be in for trouble in the next 3 years

The fact that B Barrett is getting a new contract, to me suggests the other options are not rated in the immediate term by Razor, and I don't really blame him. Outside of DMac & Perofeta, there is very few players in their prime who are even close to All Black standard (And I don't even think those two are really All Black starting 10s...)

I think DMac could be excellent. Stronger territorial kicking game than we have had in a while...

A hell of a lot can change in 3 years.
Cruden debuted NPC in 08, captained NZ 20s in 09 and started a World Cup Final at 10 in 2011.

Absolutely, but that is why I say calculated risk.

Back up to Beauden, plenty of possible candidates, maybe Perofeta he's been there B4 , not many others , let's C how super goes first
