While this decision obviously pisses me off as a Canes supporter, it makes perfect sense. 2020 will probably be a difficult year for the Canes and will be the first when he's not with his brother. If it all goes to shit then it's understandable he wants to keep his options open. This will be most important phase of his career and he doesn't want to be stuck at a team going nowhere. Alternatively, if the Canes do well in 2020 then he might stay. I don't think it's a given that he'll go somewhere else.
I think you are right about it being a big year (or 2) for the canes next year. They have been pretty close the last couple of seasons and have made a couple of good signings. It is shit that BB has decided to bail and that the stupid conference system has to stick around one more year to stuff up another season. Still, they are a good chance to top the conference with the other nz sides losing some key players.

Her comments came when a request from the Highlanders Super Rugby organisation, to end an agreement with the council, was put to the committee.Highlanders chief executive Roger Clark met with both the council chief executive Clare Hadley and finance and policy chairperson Darren Ludlow in June to ask for the partnership to end a year early. In 2016 the council agreed to act as a guarantor for the Highlanders for up to $500,000. The partnership did not end up costing ratepayers anything. In return, the Highlanders brought a game each year to Invercargill.Ludlow said Clark advised them request was financial, given the Highlanders could attract more money elsewhere.Where? Queenstown? Wanaka?

@Canes4life Gregory is a weird one as it'll be his first year in SR but will only be there til March. Suppose they want a gold medal.

@KiwiMurph Entirely predictable though. As soon as the Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes and Highlanders signed these players, you could expect them to be unavailable for most of the 2020 season. None of the Crusaders players has played for the AB7s, so obviously there was less chance that they would opt to play for a spot in the Olympic squad.
