    So the Crusaders no longer have Jed Brown (injured), Heiden Bedwell-Curtis, Sione Fifita, Leon Fukofuka (de-listed?), Sean Wainui, Marty McKenzie and Digby Ioane. Instead they've signed Billy Harmon, Tom Sanders, Ethan Blackadder, Mike Delany, Brayden Ennor, Will Jordan and Jack Stratton (for injured Ere Enari).

    Sione Fifita

    Fifita was unlucky for his two years at the Crusaders, Always injured. hardly saw him at NPC level as well. I hope he can get over his injuries and show how good he can be.

                @stargazer Plus other McKenzie presumably at first-five (but hopefully never on the field)

                    Still one squad to announce but don't expect the Canes to require Matt Vaega or Stephen Donald; which makes them the two glaring omissions from what I can tell.

                    Tana obviously couldn't convince Beaver to pull on a blue and white jersey.

                      It's hard out there for a North Harbour midfielder. One of the best backlines for the past two years, but not a single midfielder picked.

                        @Stargazer @Chris-B What is Aumua like? I only saw Ta$man play once (SF vs Taranaki) and I honestly can't remember him.

                                    I read that the jersey unveil will be in early Dec so perhaps new jerseys are to be released.
