    he might be, but you know there isn't a team at the top of the table that didn't see that result on the weekend, and thought "fuck" as they picture running out in a sudden death final against those jerseys.

      I don't think they played well. Plenty of the same issues there

      They may improve but they are a long way away from the level they need to be at

        that's not what i am saying. They won, they won big, and there isn't a player in the comp that hasn't played them and lost in a final, often for teams that would have thought they were the better side leading in.

        Rugby is a mental game, and the Crusaders' record is such that some would definitely have thought "here we go" with a big win and some big name troops starting to come back, and finals on the horizon.

        Do i realistically think they will go past the first week? no. But that's not my point. Someone is going to have to break a hoodoo to knock them out

          All I said is that Knowler is trolling.

          It was a scratchy win in most area's apart from the scrum. A positive step but not much more.

          Did you watch it? What did you think?

              No I undetsrand it and don't disagree with it.

              I'm just saying Knowler is trolling and the win is being massively overrated by some

                oh he's seriously trolling. And it's not a bad one either really. The wording of the whole Hurricanes portion is delicious

                    It's all based on the last round so, not trolling, just rehashing the results in a different way

                    Here's the Stuff power rankings for another week, in which staff ignore the official ladder and rank the 12 teams after the recent results

                            Haha Knowler has to be trolling here. If he's serious it's a concern. Can't trust those one eyed Cantab journos.

                            Also, does he not understand what the concept of a Power Ranking system is? You shouldn't be able to gain that many positions, and you shouldn't be able to lose that many positions in one week.

                              i can understand the Crusaders jump in position a hell of a lot easier than the Highlanders jumping 5 after beating...the force...at home....by 1 point....7-6...any other year and that would loose you points

                                  I thought Knowler's biggest troll of the week was having Stevenson at 100% in his AB barometer and Love at 50%

                                  Turns out I was wrong.....

                                    @KiwiMurph not having Proctor in the frame at all is the biggest troll.

                                        Good to see. What I find interesting about using the SkyGo this year is that when I open the app it always defaults to the Warriors or NRL. Not sure if anyone else has that.

                                          Fair play to the organisers - second year with double digit increases in viewership ... but minimal increases in attendance.
