Yeah not really true. Guys like Croker and Sua have very good skill sets and would be more "dynamic" than Hazelton
No real football knowledge and poorly structured as if not edited?
I think I used the word dynamic out of place. Hazelton scored quite a few tries close to the line in 2024 so he’s a guy that can be used as a threat in that regard. Leo isn’t really a guy who’s going to crash over for one very often. But I get what you’re saying, he’s maybe not a subtle passing or offload sort of prop. But he certainly played well last year, so I think there’s good reason to be looking at him.
Surely Phoenix would be a good guy to have around the club. He’s not a franchise player or anything close to that, but his work rate and team-first mentality are his main strengths. Especially given that he just made it into the NZ team, the young guys coming through the ranks could hold him up as an example of where hard work can get you. Every club needs guys like this who just work their backsides off and set standards. Honestly I can’t fault management for wanting to keep him for the above reasons alone.
Disregard. Was wondering why Hastings wasn’t mentioned but then I realised it’s off contract after 2026…. Very important news before 2025 even kicks off.
