Aaron stepped up and led the side after Tim was injured, and as a result he played one of his best games. |
Another tough decision for us to make as Will Caldwell is the man to miss out this time but we believe this is the right balance for the Crusaders. |
As long as we're accumulating points, it doesn't worry me how we score them. I actually see it as an indication that our instinctive play is becoming more precise. |
Benn has actually pulled up remarkably well, so we will just see how he is in the next 24, 48 hours, but he's definitely a chance to be involved next week. |
He (Waugh) is one of the worlds best players and he'll play a critical role at the breakdown as usual. |
He and I have discussed things but in terms of putting pen to paper, this thing has to run its course. We're a bit in limbo. It's not ideal. |
He certainly enjoyed his time there last year and that's something we'll obviously look at. |
He did take that hard. You're sometimes put in those positions where there's a spur of the moment decision and there's probably a million people out there with the benefit of hindsight who can probably tell you you've done the wrong thing. I think he learnt a bit there, but I supported what he did and we moved on. |
He has taken a step forward yesterday, there is no question. |
He has the necessary maturity and experience and is certainly an asset at a time when we've been struggling a bit with injury. |
He is looking reasonably doubtful. |
He is never short of an opinion on Australian rugby, so he'd have knowledge there's no question about that, but I feel like we've got pretty good knowledge of them. |
He is one of those late developing players. He's been giving a good account of himself on training field and the paddock. If he keeps improving that is something you can't ignore. |
He is vice-captain and one of our key players so I will be surprised if he doesn't. |
He looked great, very good, so I'm really encouraged about his return, that's certainly been the bright spot of the week for me. |
