@african-monkey i agree with you about the attitudes, but in this instance its a no brainer for the kid.
I think the aggressive NRL 20s programs started it and then the subsequent super rugby teams trying to pick AB's out of school made it worse.
Its genuinely hard to make it these days out of club rugby especially in the main center's chocka full of super guys and guys signed for 2-3 years. And one big injury can set you back 2 years.
Look at the Eden team 0 in the Auckland team? As long as where your leaving to has a good program, if their is an opportunity you have to take it. -

To be fair to Auckland, Ekuasi and Sione Tuipulotu are both Eden players. Though neither played in the final due to U20 and international commitments.

He is an amazing footballer, but he would be a absolute legend if he can come back to rugby at center and play well.

@african-monkey when the offer is Super plus NPC, id say thats a very very easy decision. and the right one, without doubt
Yeah, I'm unsure why this is riling some posters up, snowflakes indeed.
Maybe it shows society is getting soft take the easy Road,Spit the Dummy to easy, that will make you stronger NOT.
Not a reflection so much on this player a reflection on people in general now.A lot softer hence Snowflakes.None of this rings true to me. Players have left their area for better opportunities for years. Why would you stay if another team can secure your a Super contract? Your Crusaders dynasty was built on this method.
Leaving for a better contract is not spitting the dummy. Let's use our favourite Magpies example, BBBR could have stayed in Chch and played lower grade rugby to try and work his way past Big Bird, instead he moved to HB and the Chiefs and became the superstar he is today. What a snowflake.

Assistant coach Craig McGrath interview
https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode?id=865323Talks a bit about Plummer as captain
RTS - his professionalism. He won't be selected this weekend, they won't rush him. Long term he might be a 12, but initially he'll be 14.

You are entitled to your thinking,I just don't like people who don't want to work for things.
Will we see, every young player in the future fucking off overseas because they are not given an AB jersey instead of sticking to it and growing their game to be worthy of it.
because that is the top end spill over from that attitude.Poor wee darlings just give them what they want because they think they deserve it.No wonder we are a becoming a whining PC world, harden the fuck up is my opinion.

That highlight reel is insane. A few Blues players about to be pretty happy running off his shoulder!

Weirdly, Jarred Adams is listed in Auckland's player profiles. Maybe he is on loan to Manawatu?

His D.O.B is wrong on that page.
