@canefan maybe the board all took a voluntary paycut due to thier shit performance over the past decade?
Not sure Jordie is a good fit for the Blues.
-
@taniwharugby He'd be ok on the bench

I don't know how super teams and their player contracts work, there is no salary cap that I knew about.... I'm not sure the Barretts will enjoy playing for the Blues after playing in the superior Canes setup for so long

I’d laugh if after all this speculation he signs with the Chiefs.
-
@Canes4life Wouldn't complain. Jordie at 12. ALB at 13. ALB is better at 12 but he is a God at both.
-
@Yeetyaah at the end of the day I don’t want Jordie playing for the Canes if he isn’t fully commited to the swirl. If he chooses to leave, so be it, there is plenty of talent ready to take is place.

Yeah BB is a big loss for the Canes. Jordie not so much.

@sparky John Kirwan starting rumours again?
-
@Canes4life Don't think it was Sir John Kirwan. There was no mention that Jordie 's girlfriend would love the Auckland shopping...

@sparky said in Hurricanes 2020:
Canes CEO gives quote to Stuff on Saturday that Jordie is only negotiating with the Canes. Then someone anonymous (Jordie's agent) tells Stuff on Sunday he has been offered more money by the Blues.
Yeah bu the money will be a pretty small part for an AB. Not like SR teams, even their 3P deals, are the big bucks in NZ rugby. So, like his bro, he'll go for rugby and/or personal and family reasons.

@Machpants Like the opportunity to go out on the lash with Akira and visit McDonalds Grey Lynn drive thru a lot. 👍

Would explain his coming off the bench for the Maori

Smith was poor at first this year. Maybe he will come good at first but I doubt it. JGB is far too inconsistent but the rare times hes on form he can be VG . I'd still like Jordie to have a run at first if no one else is found
the only time Smith looked any good this year was at FB vs the Blues. -

Then again Jordie may not have the temperament to play 10 at the top level either.
Ridiculous that the Blues will have BB, Perofeta, Plummer and Black on their books next season.

Disagree
BB will miss at least 8-10 games for the Blues next year
Perofeta is a #15 who can cover 10 Replaces Nanai
Black is a Mitre Cup player at best No business starting in Super Rugby
Plummer needs ALOT of work Has a good frame Stick him at 12 and see how he goes
Blues have a bunch of players but not alot of high level #10 performances in SR beyond BB
