@booboo what mumbles?

Heard Devlin and his offsider suggesting he likely take up an offer to get out out of the Country.

Not sure why.

Darkish hints of bad behaviour.

Is TJ Reece's manager/publicist?

TJ was so excitable you can bet that the commentary box was steamy.

He did drop the T word in there too.

[Ruginmel]

@booboo interesting! Will have to keep my ears open

[sparky]

A return to form by the Crusaders or a dead-cat bounce?

[African Monkey]

@sparky They're good at home as conditions and a smaller field suits them and opposition struggle to adapt coming to Chch.

They should have enough to qualify for the 8, but their away form is a concern.

[taniwharugby]

They really need to rethink thier Mid field, Aumua and McLeod ain't up to it.

They also still look like a team not entirely on the same page, so often mis timed passes or runners and affects the cohesion across the park, which will impact players confidence.

As above, Barrett will make a huge difference to the team going forward.

Still lots of issues but much better. Forwards were good, backs still have many things to iron out.
When I watch Blackadder, I see one of the most effective loose forwards in the comp. Whether the team is going well or not, he leaves nothing on the field. One of the first on the AB teamsheet for me.

[Crazy Horse]

@Old-Samurai-Jack the problem I see with Blackadder is where would you play him? He is not the best in any given position. Bench loosie at best for the ABs. And that's debatable.

[Old Samurai Jack]

@Crazy-Horse I would start either him or Papalii at 7 if Ardie is at 8 (which he will be).

[Dan54]

@Old-Samurai-Jack I think teams are going for more the bigger 7 nowadays, so can see the point. (If I want us following other teams of course)

[Frank]

Blackadder is an absolute pest with a huge motor. I'd be happy with him or Papalii at 7.
It's bloody good that Dalton has some competition.

I could be wrong but I think he’s been playing plenty at 7 in Japan. I’m intrigued to see where Razor likes him.
