It's a pity Crusaders missed out on signing Andy Powell : Sat Nov 27, 2010 9:55 pm  

The bloke would have been great in RL.

I watched him smash 110 kilo 6ft 2" All Blacks flanker Richie McCaw half way back to Canterbury earlier in the Wales v AB's game in Cardiff (admittedly with a high shot but hey.. Adrian Moreley based his game on doing it)

Pity RL missed out on him.

Big strong aggressive prop with plenty of brute strength. Rugby brain and ball handling skills less impressive.

My point exactly.

He would have been great in SL.

Would have added real punch to Crusaders pack... and he's a real Welshman too

Yes sadly you are right.

Clubs like Crusaders can't compete financially with Union sides unfortunately
