Now that we actually have something official it is interesting to see that it is a three year deal with the canes and NZ but with a Canes “out clause” rather than a one year Canes deal. I guess that provides the most certainty out of any of the flexible options.
While it appears a strange way to go about it im glad his out clause is only at super rugby level and not one to leave NZ all together.I don’t think this type of contract will provide any more of a distraction than the will he, won’t he stuff we see with lots of players for multiple seasons. It will provide lots of click bait article material though.
I wonder if there is a bit more to this than the wanting to play with brothers/in midfield thing.
Someone mentioned a while back that there might be tension between some of the players (eg.BB) and Plumtree. When is Plumtree contracted until? -
John Plumtree: "We want to really develop Jordie as a leader and he will be a key driver in our team for the next three seasons. He is going to play a big role on and off the field for us."
Interesting quote considering it looks fairly evident that he won't be a Cane in 2021.

Don't let this descend into which city is better because some foreign troll is posting.

@Jaguares4real so the correct term is being a dick?
Given we are talking about playing within NZ why does any international perspective matter?

@Bovidae would be interesting to see how much difference there was between offers. Could imagine the Highlanders had some coin to play with given upcoming changes in their squad. Bet the Blues backs make more than the forwards

Blues CEO Michael Redman is stepping down.
Quoting so I can like it again.
Edit: can’t do that anymore, nevertheless, see ya! Wouldn’t want to be ya!

@Paekakboyz Yeah very messy this contract.Brothers are mentioned in there are we going to have a scenario where BB takes a sabbatical in 2021,
So JB plays with Scott at the Crusaders then transfers to the Blues in 2022.Potential of 3 Franchises in 3 years. -

@Wurzel said in Super Rugby News:
The Highlanders would be smart to gift a contract to little-known brother Blake Barrett in the hope it entices Jordie south.
I hope he is a cop as he would need some pretty decent work stories around the Chrissy table with his Brothers.

Speaking of that perhaps Mr and Mrs Ioane need to watch Akiras portion sizes compared to Reikos this Xmas....
