Crusaders v Reds 9/03/25

I’ll take a punt at the team - relying a bit on what I’ve read re injuries.

Fa’agase
Faessler
Nonggorr
Smith
Blyth
Uru
McReight
Wilson
McDermott
Lynagh
Anderson
Pakeho
Daugunu
Ryan
Murray

Nasser
Hodgman
JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen)
Canham
Wright
Thomas
McLaughlin-Phillips
Gordon or Goldsborough

With Bryant & Brial cooling their heels I wonder if Kiss will be tempted to go with a 6 - 2 split.

Arguably that’s a better outcome for BNE - worst winds and rain are usually to the south of the eye. Not great news for the GC and northern rivers.

Good to see Hodgman back and Wright starting. Is Uru injured? Very young backline though for the Reds, shame JO'C is on the wrong bench.

Yeah i dont like that the Reds don't provide details on injuries or duration... again this is basic stuff that other codes have been transparent on for a number of years now
Seems a bit odd that teams can seemingly opt in/out of reporting the details over and above names
