Overview
- The Warriors confirmed Inch will report to their Under-21 side when pre-season begins next month as part of their Jersey Flegg focus.
- Recruitment chief Andrew McFadden said the club had tracked Inch for some time and praised his skill set and toughness.
- Inch switches from rugby union after a Tasman Mako contract, training and playing with the Crusaders’ top squad, and helping the Crusaders U20 to a title in March.
- The signing follows other youth moves at the club, including last month’s addition of Braelan Marsh, the son of former NRL player PJ Marsh.
- Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge criticized league clubs’ talent raids, while Warriors boss Cameron George defended his club’s plans and rejected that view.
