@KiwiMurph this was pretty funny too
“We gave him every opportunity to stay, but he wasn't willing to stay here and compete, and he's taken another path.’’ Robertson said.
no chance of course that he wanted to grow his game in a new environment. If he makes the ABs, I'll chortle quietly to myself.
So many years of getting the Kane of the Barretts, and wrecking 10s. Redemption y'all.
Good Luck to Sam hes a quality young Lock I have no doubt he will be an AB I am sure the Crusaders are a bit pissed.

@nzzp Yes I had a good chuckle at that. Not so fun when the shoe is on the other foot is it Crusaders.
Funny how the anti Crusader brigade are focusing on one line at the end of the article and are ignoring the rest of the quotes that show the Crudaders handling his decision well, publicly at least.

What like this quote?
"he wasn't willing to stay here and compete, and he's taken another path"
That doesn't read as particularly classy to me.

No worse than I have seen from other professional teams over the years.

@KiwiMurph interesting to see the wide range of dress standards there haha

Josh Goodhue
Good to see he has re-signed. Has stepped up his game and aggression this year.
-
@Tim although I hate to say it, he’s probably only one concussion away from hanging his boots up.
-
@Steven-Harris Yeah, that's gotta be a tough situation.
-
@Steven-Harris which is why I think he has been gun shy, but has had a decent run with his fitness this season (lockdown was probably great for many to deal with niggles) which will help with confidence too

Same was said about Leon McDonald, so hopefully He can get pass it too.

And McCaw too, mid 2000's were tough for him - I think he missed a whole season

Asked to quantify that result, the cagey CEO added: “Ballpark figures mean we will now make a modest profit for the year. And we were facing a substantial loss. We’ve been very lucky.””

Herald has an interesting article on top up payments from third parties. They reckon it was $200k or so for BB, along iwth the commitment to appear in advertising.
I suspect if Blues contributed it was a great investment - having him around gets butts on seats and makes you look credible. That's important to change perceptions of how dysfunctional the franchise has been in recent years.
Great to see the Blues no longer being easy pickings for other franchises. We can't keep everyone, but if we scout smart we can keep the magic in-house

Setting the standard for crowd numbers, love it
Glad I got my tickets early.
this aged poorly
I know the feeling, was so amped for this game. Beers with mates at a pub, taking my boy to the game -- and now it'll be re-runs on the couch I fear
