@Daffy-Jaffy I’m absolutely gutted by this he’s on top of his game, but I don’t blame him got to make money where you can.

He probably read all the criticism he gets on the Fern and decided to leave.
You have to admit, we are pretty harsh on players until they go and then wish they had stayed. There appears to be little room for a top 100 (but not top 40) player in NZ as far as fans go.

not sure i agree with that. we are harsh on EVERYBODY. The AB captain has been copping it for the previous 2 years. And there are hundreds of posts bemoaning the loss of those 41-100 guys, and the effect on the Super Rugby product.
I don't think Lam has really copped heat for his Super Rugby output, just the fact he wasn't really ever good enough to go a step higher.
If anything, we anoint people "future ABs" after a couple of NPC games, and then try and hold them to that standard.
The reality is, for that 41-100 crowd, the opportunity cost of playing in NZ on the hope of a couple of test caps is just too high. Good luck to him. Bad for NZ rugby, great for Ben Lam

Lam attracted a lot of shit early on largely because of his surname. There were people on TSF claiming that Auckland did not want to pick him but Pat Lam forced them too
2015 was his break through year
It's a shame he got injured at the very start of the next SR season. He was extremely good in the Dev game when he got injured.
That wasted a full year of his prime -

Rare in this day and age, but it's back to the farm for Tim. Nice for him to leave on his own terms

Levi Aumua has signed with Hino Red Dolphins (Top League) with immediate effect.

According to the website of asierugby, former Blues Forwards Coach Steve Jackson is the new head coach of Shimizu Blue Sharks (Top Challenge League, 2nd div in Japan). As Shimizu hasn't posted any news items on its website since October 2019 and not on its social media since January, I have not been able to check this.
Steve Jackson nommé entraîneur-chef de Shimizu Blue Sharks
Seulement quelques mois après la coupe du monde de rugby, Steve Jackson va retrouver le Japon, un pays dont il avait apprécié l'ambiance dans les stades. Le technicien néo-zélandais de 46 ans, sélectionneur des Samoa depuis automne 2018, va quitter son poste puisqu'il vient d'être officialisé cette...

Tokyo Metropolitan Police on Thursday announced the arrest of a New Zealand rugby player for the Top League’s Hino Red Dolphins over the alleged use of cocaine, reports Sankei Sports (Mar. 6). At around 4:30 a.m., an officer took forward Joel Everson, 29, in for voluntary questioning after seeing him behaving suspiciously as he walked in the Roppongi entertainment district of Minato Ward. After Everson declined to voluntarily provide a urine sample, police forcibly took a sample, which gave a positive result for cocaine, the Azabu Police Station said.

@Tim he was to be The Man at one stage wasn't he?
It's the way of the world for non-ABs. Gotta make hay whilst the sun shines.
