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.

@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.

Huh? Wing is more stacked than any other position, maybe equal with prop.
@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.

@Canes4life I don't know what pov you could otherwise mean. Every back 3 bar the crusaders is brilliant - and the crusaders have one of the best, just not the rest.
@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.

@SouthernMann Yep and after midday.

@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.
@Bones agreed, probably could have demanded a lot more in a year's time with the way he's playing but good on him. Take the money and run while he's still healthy even though I'd love him to stay at the Canes. A good chance for Bailyn Sullivan to cement a right wing spot next year if he stays around.

Fergus Burke off to London. Is it a worry that players are leaving so early in their careers now?

@Canes4life obviously a lot of unease with the new coaching group.
