    Why do these Crusader 10s feel the need to run to the NH now that Coaching Jesus is in charge?
    It seems very peculiar.

    And yet in another thread Strange will be picked because Jesus is a selector, so yeah, you'd think every Crusader would hang around for their inevitable black jumper. Unless of course Jesus hate 10's, which would make him the devil.

    Strange is a 10?

    Nah mate he's a lock. That's a forward, 10's are backs. Locks are usually tall, unless they were a Hurricane the last few years, and wear either 4 or 5 on their backs. 10's wear 10 on their back and are sometimes known as a first five eight or fly half.

                @Canes4life Ryan disagrees. He was the forwards selector that had him starting for the AB XV. Take out two senior locks.. I think it’s likely he makes it because of the selectors history

                  @Duluth and there’s guys like Caleb Delany who have been consistently putting out strong performances over the past two years who will likely get overlooked. If we pick guys like Strange, the ABs won’t improve. Strange should be dominating at this stage of his career, especially after learning from Whitelock for so long. He doesn’t have a high ceiling unfortunately, will be a shit selection if he does get picked.

                    I am hoping some of those selections were a short term thing, where Ryan was given a job to do in a short time span so he brought in players he knew and believed could do a job for him. Hopefully with more time to work with players from other areas things will be different. Hopefully.

                          Fair, I think he'd have to have a helluva season to get a shot at the next level.... he's no George Bridge

                            @cgrant that’s lame. He’s very solid for the Canes on that right edge and has formed a balanced back three combination with Naholo and Love. Not many good wingers running around in NZ atm so hopefully your source is off the mark.

                                @Bones just to clarify I meant from a depth POV. You obviously have your top tier wingers in the likes of Telea, Narawa and Reece, but when guys like Moorby leave at a young age it’s more damaging these days than it used to be. Just look at the Saders having to recruit Morland and McNicholl. The depth just isn’t there anymore.

                                    @Bones I’m just saying when teams start to lose their top line wingers atm it seems like the underbelly of quality depth isn’t there to choose from like it used to be. Maybe it’s just me but I feel like New Zealand used to have so much more talent to pick from when they were going through an injury crisis. Now teams are forced to call on dinosaurs as injury replacements I.e the Saders. If we keep losing players that are bumbling under the surface of international rugby so to speak we are going to be left with a bunch of ‘really good’ players and then ‘really poor’ players backing them up.

                                      Moorby will be 27 in July next year so his potential career as an AB wing will be over.

                                          @jauzy019 pulled the pin too early! If he keeps playing like he is now he could've demanded substantially more at the end of super rugby.

                                          Funny to think guys like this are a fair way from the ABs and yet Bridge was a mainstay.
