That's farked, plenty of people have used that to reduce the games out and Crossland should be able to he was a lock to make their squad and likely their first choice hooker.

He is the incumbent right? Surely nzrl would vouch that yes he would be picked in the squad regardless of who is available.
Correct and this is what has happened.
The confusion arises because of the old rule about naming players to make their missed test matches count.
We have been discussing this situation at the Warriors forum.
The rules were amended in 2022 to cover this situation. The NZRL had already named him in their wider squad (meets one of the criteria) and under the amendment the NZRL are called a Registering body (term used for the applicant for approval).
You made another qualifying argument under the rule amendment (the proving the likelihood of an intent to select a player, as you rightly point out the proof is met already, since he is the incumbent).
Lastly, the President of the NZRL (Tawera Nikau) said on the radio that Crossland is being supported by the Kiwis players and will play in the Semis.
Problem solved for you lot and us.
Happy days.
That’s great if he gets to play from the semi onwards.
Would have been such a harsh suspension if he’d missed a Grand Final, a World Cup, and been forced to miss games to start next year as well.
