@Stargazer had high hopes for him in last yrs NPC. Started at 6 but was replaced by Delany. He was fairly ordinary after looking promising with the Blues

Yeah he had 2-3 very good games for the Blues in 2022 but never kicked on.
He probably just needs to play more. 11 NPC starts in 3 seasons, 3 SR starts in 2 seasons.

@Duluth Yeah his performance against the Highlanders in 2022 at NH stadium made me think we had a real star on our hands. Sadly for him he barely got a run after that.

Him, Evans and a few others make the argument for more super sides; they just cant be hidden away in uncompetitive teams.
I don’t know how to solve the issue, but we have enough talent for more teams.

Or make the argument for providing better incentives to move franchise?

In each of their cases, they might move to sit on the bench. Not sure that argument holds so tight.

We are struggling with 5 teams now. And
Plumtree got his chance with Wellington but didn't take it. Some players are either inconsistent. Or only shine in winning teams. -

Jack Goodhue au CO jusqu’en 2027 ! - Castres Olympique
Le centre néozélandais, Jack Goodhue, prolonge son contrat de deux saisons, jusqu’en juin 2027. À 29 ans, l’international All blacks aux 18 sélections est arrivé au CO en 2023. Il s’affirme désormais comme un cadre et un leader naturel du groupe. Il a d’ailleurs déjà pris part à 7 feuilles de match...
2-year contract + option for a third year

Goodhue is a really good player imo. One of the few centres in nz who reads the game. We all know he lacks a bit of speed. But still. Good signing for castres.

@Billy-Tell I think the blues attack does 10x better with Goodhue than ioane at 13.
Man knows how to find his wingers

Ah, one of those people who thinks the jersey is really really, really really, really dark blue.
