@taniwharugby Exactly, and we'd all do the same haha.

Wonder if we start to see third parties buying out key players lucrative contracts to get them playing in New Zealand. If we get Richie back that is one of the only likely scenarios.

@SBW1 For a 7 test AB? Who are these 3rd parties that are gonna come to the party? Couplands? Halswell Timber? Shoreline Fitness New Brighton?

The fact is, if the Crusaders didn't have such a bad season, Fai'anganuku wouldn't even be mentioned in conversation and there's about 2 years for not just the Crusaders, but for NZ rugby to develop others.

Who knows we will soon know what is happening for next year, there is a review into the season. We could very well have a new coaching setup.

Sevu Reece also signed for the crusaders until 2026

Any truth to the rumour that a new coach for next season has been lined up?

Fantastic news. Really important for continuity at the Crusaders.

The other franchises need more years of saders being utter tosh

Jacomb is off the market now. Any word on who the Crusaders are after at 10? I assume that Reihana returns for another season?
