I don't think they can afford to be able to have some guys getting injured.

But, you know, it's that time of the year.

So hopefully for Crusaders fans, they don't get injured.

And I think it comes to the attack, TJ.

Like, I think even on the weekend against the Highlanders, yes, I think the Highlanders threw ill-discipline and a red card to Dan and Gloria Brown, also a yellow card, but if you see the pictures of the TV when you're watching it, and I'd love to see it if you are in person, because whenever there's space on the edge, they're making the right decision with their depth, they'll be able to get that ball to the edge.

Now, whether that's through a pass or a kick or being able to just identify the space that's there,

they're able to get it to the edge and just seems like they're doing that a lot better than anybody else in the country so i think that comes back to your point around the coaching the pitches that the players are seeing and being able to pull trigger within their attacking attack structure to be able to get the ball where they need to and i just think also as well like

The defence with Corey Jane and what they're doing, they're putting teams under a lot of pressure.

They're operating at 90%, 92% on the week against the Highlanders and really starving these teams of opportunities through their attack.

They've got to be on the job in their animation and their ability of their skill set under pressure.

They've got to try and do that under pressure, which we know TJ in any form of rugby, it's hard to be able to do that.

So if you don't get that right, you get opportunities.

We're feeling unlawful throughout the year, has been able to get intercepts, been able to put teams under pressure and score tries off that.

So

I think all around, both attack, defence, and I haven't even touched on this forward pack as well, they're firing in all cylinders and putting guys like Eddie and Nardi having career-best performances because of the platform that that Hurricanes forward pack is putting forward for him as well.

I actually put this down in my notes here for Duplicy Karifi's try when he sets him up and he beats those four or five players.

Now, I think that's probably an all-black moment for me.

We talk about state of origin at moments on the other side for rugby league.

I just think what I saw there, like, you know, with Caleb Tangitao and Caleb Clarke,

the ability to be able to beat players through their big strength their strength and I you know I must be honest I didn't think that Josh Morby had that kind of power to be able to get through and break through tackles but so with what I saw there I'm like cool like we already know that he's got a great triple threat game he's very consistent very safe under the high ball good distribution game good kicking game but with that strength and the ability to be able to beat players with what he showed in that trial I just think it adds another bow to
