[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 33669"] It's not tall poppy syndrome - I just hate how Canterbury take all of the good players from the top half of the south island. Every NZ Super 12 franchise has at least two first division teams except for the Crusaders and I think that Crusader's management plunder the talent in their area. At the moment the Canterbury NPC side is virtually the Crusaders whereas other franchises share their talent bewteen at least two NPC sides if not more. The new design of the NPC next year will change this and hopefully the talent of Canterbury will dissipate into other teams like Nelson Bays. I guess from a whole NZ point of view it is good because certain players in key combinations can get loads of game time with each other and that as a means to an end will always make it okay in my eyes. It's tough on Nelson Bays though! [/QUOTE]
