Crusaders Coach Scott Robertson was quick to credit the host of relative rookies who have admirably filled some of big boots in the starting XV, making particular mention of teenage halfback Noah Hotham and lock Jamie Hannah, who impressed after being promoted from the academy side.

With 16 first-choice players unavailable due to injury, the Crusaders made the most of what they had at Suncorp Stadium, which proved sufficient to get past the struggling Queenslanders.

Robertson says it was important for them to trust the young group and they really performed.

The Crusaders beat the Reds 25-12.
