    @Chris just imagine if we got all our players back at the end of the season. Finish 8th. Then beat Hurricanes , Blues , Chiefs to win the final. That would be embarrassing.
    I’ve bet on the chiefs myself. Surely they win it from here. Blues are just fluffybunnies and the Hurricanes are well , they’re the Hurricanes.

        @chchfanatic history tells me that when you have Razor, Sam Whitelock and Mo'unga you win. Guess what, you don't anymore. The Crusaders just need to face up to the fact the dynasty is over.

          You never know it would be one hell of a season.
          I think the chiefs are a DMac injury away from not winning the comp.

            The same could have been said about Crusaders and Mo'unga the previous 7 years

              Maybe but that has nothing to do with 2024.

                    fucking Hurricanes fans. Non stop negaitivity for years and years and year

                    this coach sucks. that coach sucks. this player sucks. that player sucks. too wellington-centric. not wellington-centric enough

                    they have one good month where they've beaten the Force, the Rebels, the Crusaders (ie 3 of the 5 shittest teams in the comp), took OT to win a shakey one against the Reds, and beat the Blues who had a fucking halfback on the wing, and suddenly it's nothing but relentless positivity and everyone else needs to come along for the ride.

                    it's fucking shameless is what it is

                      One thing is certain - Married at First Sight is a fucking terrible programme.

                      I'm not sure how you guys have managed to watch it for the past seven years! 🙂

                            @mariner4life I thought bitching and moaning about your team when they are shit and then being overly positive when they win is normal standard on the Fern, is it not? We definitely aren't the only fans that do it.

                              While we may not win it this year, there is no way the dynasty is over look at the result from our Under 20s. Other teams realise we simply haven't clicked this year, when we do watchout. At the very least I expect to see a few games where we do click, sadly it maybe too late for this season. What we will be looking at is a massive reset for the future and player/coaching overhaul. The Crusaders still have a lot to play for including a new stadium and they may even have a new NRL franchise breathing down their necks.

                                      @Chris thanks mate. First year without being involved for 27 years. The CRFU has finally worn me down. They have zero care for club rugby. We have lost 2 great clubs this year and I know there’s a couple more that are struggling too.
                                      For what they pay 1 All Black a year would be enough money to run all of club rugby in chch. Rant over 😂😂

                                          I wouldn’t want to play us in the quarterfinals
                                          with all our players back.
