McCaw out for 6 Weeks

[Gnostic]

This will have the bookies in a bit of a tizz I would expect. Would also put the fear into the ABs supporters. He appears to be getting more and more injuries every year.

Anybody want to re-rate the chances of the Saders in this year's Super title?

not really, will re-rate the Tahs chances V them in rd 3 though.

If the Reds could to it, we can do it better, backwards and inside out!!!!

It will make things more difficult for 6 weeks, but they're not so short on talent that they'll tumble down the ladder.

 

[Richard D. James]

The Crusaders will be fine without McCaw in the early rounds.

This will probably work out better for them and the All Blacks. McCaw will be be well rested for the business end of the year.

 

[Brumby Jack]

One of the Whitelock's will probably step in

 

[Blue]

He wasn't going to play in the first four rounds anyway from what I remember.

 

[JJJ]

Sounds like he's suffered a rotation of the Grahamhenrius. A recurring injury for poor Ruchie, last suffered in 2007 iirc.

Wouldn't Read be the foremost option?

The tahs always struggle against the saders. Can't remember which year it was but the Tahs took the game to Telstra stadium & played a Crusaders side less McCaw & carter & still come up short.

He was sitting out the 1st two rounds.

Thank god this came out today. I was about to unload on Crusaders top NZ franchise @ 1.80.

Backing off now.

Yeah, one of the 1500 of them who play first class rugby

 

[Lee Grant]

That would be George.

Konze - Read was a 6 who is now turning into a world class 8. He was never a 7.

Who knows - the injury to TIM (The Invisible Man) could be:

1. A blessing in disguise to allow an enforced rest.... or
2. A huge problem as foot injuries can linger for a long time.

Damn and blast- I meant to say as captain. Unless one of the Whitelock brothers will take that as well?

 

[Lee Grant]

Don't feel bad I do that kind of thing all the time and then some smart arse chips me about it.

Oh - that was me this time? Just getting even I suppose.

A bit strange for someone who spends so much time off his....

We'll call it even; I did throw a banana in your path over the "short" Super season.

 

[qwerty51]

They also have a pretty handy replacement in Matt Todd. Anyone who watched Canterbury in the NPC knows what I mean.

 

[Lee Grant]

It was more getting even with the "cloud" of forum snipers than yourself. I had forgotten that. Still reckon the 2011 Super season is short compared to other pro comps around the world.

 

[Ruggo]

Saders will be fine without TIM (Lee that is a fantastic name :lmao
