he has played there though

Yes he has played at centre a few times for the Crusaders but he struggled, he's a lot smaller than Mellers and Hauraki. Hanbury also looked liked like he hated being there.

Hanbury played at centre in his first few games when he wasn't yet up to speed having only just arrived. Agree he's not big enough for a centre though but at halfback he's been great. Just hope Tony Martin and Clinton are fit for Hull KR, otherwise Hanbury (or Elliott Kear) might have to fill in. Chan at centre.

I can see the Crusaders looking to a few loan signings next season tbh.
Plenty of decent players knocking about on the fringes.
Readon and Meli are both past their best but MUCH better than Dyer or Youngquest for example.
IMHO you need some pace in that team, from when ive seen you its a very compressed defence that comes unstuck against teams with pace. Typical Noble really, big, solid but nothing spectacular.

Noble originally planned to have Matt Utai and Raynor on the wing. To be fair to Dyer and Youngquest they have given their all for the team this year.
Tony Smith is more than welcome to send Rhys Williams over the border for a few months on loan, we'll take good care off him

how long was the contract chan signed in 2009? Because I hope we keep hold of him but apparentlyleeds are interested in him, just a rumor on a fansite but a rumor that I hope is very wrong!

for me still to many overseas players but a strong competitive side hopefully over the off season the crusaders can add a few quality players and a full pre season should see the crusaders improve as long as noble and co stay put

the backs line is quality but the forwards could do with strengthening.

I dont see why elliot kear cant have full back or at least wing a couple he played well back end of last season when they had players deported. Surely they can slip 3 or 4 young welsh lads in every week.

Woah. Hold on now! What about Clinton? How come he doesn't get a place? Is he leaving?
I think he has been outstanding since his arrival.

clinton has been really good for the crusaders but how old is he now maybe the right time to give elliot kear an oppitunity
