    Couldn't blame them. I'd want to move to a franchise with better coaching and prospects of winning something (like a game or two per season).

    The Blues decided not to fix anything. They shouldn't be surprised if people want to leave.

    So, they'll be astonished.

    @stargazer Vince Aso is super tight with both Ioanes being their cousin and all. Of course he's another one that Tana let get away. Lol.

    I think it's disgusting that the Hurricanes have gone out and put another undeserved roadblock in front of Jonah Lowe's inevitable rise to stardom. Disgusting.

    @kiwimurph Yeah, but with Ben Lam and Rieko no doubt claiming the 11 and 14 jerseys, how much game time will the guys I mentioned get? Aso will be lucky to get the 23 jersey, for which he'll have to compete with, among others, NMS.

    That one was Kirwan. It's getting hard to remember which of the many mistakes belong to which celebrity coach

    Hopefully they have a similar contract to Aso and they are still aligned to Auckland

    The Canes could rival the Crusaders in fitting so many ABs under the salary cap. 🤔

    Jordie and Rieko to form a midfield combination to rival Conrad and Nonu.

    @bovidae when did they have a salary cap?

    maybe this will be the jolt the Blues board need to sort shit out, or not, more than likely.

    I thought each franchise was given a certain amount of money from NZR for player salaries. The majority of the players in SR won't be earning big $$ unless they're ABs, which is why many choose to head overseas.

    I could be wrong.

    No different to this year where he is behind Savea.

    @bovidae I hadnt heard of any salary cap for super, given as you say, NZR pay the salaries anyway, I guess its up to them how much they pay.

    Maybe they offer more to the Ioanes to stay at the blues....?

    There is a kick back for having ABs to the province as well isnt there (which essentially tops up thier M10 salary I guess?)

    Hmmm, so is it time to jump back on the Canes bandwagon. 😉

    Are you Blues fans happy with your boy Blake Gibson chasing the Ioane's away?

    Anyway, hopefully the Chiefs can steal them away first!

    Sadly it's only one more AB replacing a departing AB.

    If the Chiefs have already finalised their squad I'm hoping Etene Nanai-Seturo is amongst the newbies.

    The name being mentioned in regard to their departure is Michael Redman.
