@Hooroo Because a player that heads overseas has usually done so after giving his all for their jersey over a long period of time. Case in point - Matt Proctor who busted his ass this year knowing he had limited time left in the jersey that he was loyal to for so long. There is no way you can show the same commitment knowing you are leaving for another franchise.
I'm just imagining how pissed off Dane Coles will be. bahaha

@Canes4life You would have to wonder how much this pisses off the Canes players.I will play for you this year but I don't really want to, I want to play for another team against you guys after that.Just go now ffs.
Also does it not hold franchises to ransom sign a 2 year contract with an outclause to play at another franchise,So the SR team feels that have to pander to him to try and keep him.
Nah you don't want to play for a team just leave.
Canes put him on the Bench or don't pick him. -
I've been trying to find the article I read it in, but haven't found it.
In one of the articles discussing BB signing with the Blues and a potential move from Jordie to the Blues, it was pointed out that the Blues are the only franchise in which NZR has a stake, while the other franchises are completely privately owned. The author suggested that NZR's role in players signing with Blues in these circumstances might be considered - I can't remember the words used - as a conflict of interests (?) and that the private owners of the other franchises wouldn't be happy.

Canes put him on the Bench or don't pick him.Hahaha that is idiotic. Why would they sign him only to bench him or leave him out all together. Some people need to get a grip.
Wasn’t this same thing discussed recently with Akira and Reiko talking about potential moves the other direction if the Blues didn’t sort their shit out? But this is Jordie and he is over rated apparently.
Really this is all speculation at this stage. This “option” to switch teams might not be an option at all. Maybe it is just a one year deal with the Canes. No different to any other one year deals except he has committed to NZ for longer.

@pukunui Sabbaticals and conditions on resigning they have written in.This starts a bad contracting model for players to sign a contract with an outclause to play for another club in the same competition and in the same country after one year.
Are you loyal to that club why play there ? why not move now and be done with it.If you don't want to be there move on. -

How do you know this isn’t just a straight one year deal with the canes? Then he will negotiate the next year depending on where he wants to play. That poorly written article is nothing to go by.

@pukunui Thats not what has been reported is it.Ok lets see what is announced when it all comes out.
Too me if its true its Bullshit.You think what you likePlenty of stuff has been reported, most of it directly contradicting the previous report. But yes, I suggest everyone just wait and see what is announced before getting outraged over bullshit special treatment.

If he has signed a one year contract, is that really that unusual? Don't a few guys do that now?
I know he committed to NZ Rugby for 2 years, according to that article. Kinda unusual, but really not much different to contracting year by year in my opinion. -

Alot of sensitive Canes fans
Once BB went Jordie was goneski
So he likely goes to Auckland to play with Beaudy and lives in a major city
Or Crusaders & play in his preferred position of #12, with coaches he knows atm + spend a year at least with Scott Barrett
If you're a good AB player you've alot of leverage Sign shorter contacts with opt outs/players options + Sabbaticals clauses
NZR are a doing a good job NZ Super Rugby clubs better get used to this
Japs are offering alot of money to play mickey mouse rugby
