        Think the Lions will give it a reasonable crack, but geez it hard to see Crusaders dropping this. Their pack looking better all the time, and I reckon with Read coming back to his best is just making them so much stronger!

            I wouldn't begrudge the Lions a Super title. They've been great the last few years, really the only team to keep up with the top NZ sides. And that loss last year must have really hurt.

            Can't see it happening though, way too much class in that Saders team.

              As good as their run has been, they get an easy ride through the regular season because of the competition structure, so they should be made to work hard to win it all. Kiwi teams beat themselves senseless every week and only get a rest when the others come to play

                    Ticket prices way up. I have season tickets but it’s an extra $85 for each ticket for the final. Price to public for same seats $120. To sit in a crappy stand built on scaffolding. Getting a bit greedy I think.

                      They've lost touch with the fans.. So many people I know aren't going because of the price.

                      Sell out should be a priority, price tickets accordingly.. $120 for seats that cost $50 in the regular season is shit.
                      Especially in that shit stadium where they can't even guarantee we will have a big screen for replays if we get a slight breeze during the day.

                        They've probably made a loss last two games, cos of the way they have to pay visiting teams. I can see why they're doing it, not saying it's a good idea. Probably end up with a loss in a winning year, that'd be shite

                            you know what? it's fucking disgraceful that a coach is allowed to say that shit. I would be more than happy with a $20k fine straight up for it. He's essentially saying the refs of previous Crusader games are either biased; incompetent; or both. That's before the ridiculously blatant attempt to get the refs to rule in favour of his side this weekend. How is this shit allowed to stand?

                            Who the fuck would be a ref in a rugby code? What a shit job.

                              Long live us getting away with things for many years to come.

                              My only disappointment is that Glen Jackson won’t be reffing this weekend.

                                What does he mean 10 metres at the scrum, anyway- the cheating Jaapie.

                                There should be at least 15 metres - more with those giant SA locks!

                                  The poor old Lions really are like the winners of the NBA Eastern Conference. Only without the best player in the game (well, it would be 3 players wouldn't it).

                                      "There is a reason why there are 10 metres at a scrum, I looked at TJ Perenara when he touched that ball they are already five metres away, it can't be. They have to be 10 until the ball is out. Those are the little things that we will address."

                                      That's hilarious.

                                      What is a hit on the left side of the loosehead?

                                        It's the Lions who just travelled half way across the world.

                                        They are massively up against it. Just a coach trying to get an edge wherever possible.

                                        Can't say I like it, but it's nothing new.
