I have it on good oil that Jordies signed for the Crusaders next year
I'm going to laugh if he gets stuck behind Havili at 15, Goodhue at 12, and Ennor at 13.
However, if that leads to Ennor (23) wanting to come to the Chiefs, I'll be happy as...

He'll be our starting 12 next year, Goodhue too valuable at 13.
The Barrett/ Goodhue midfield was unstoppable for Lincoln a few years ago and they combined pretty well for Canterbury too. I've heard Razor say that Jordie will come back at some stage and he considers 12 his best position.
He wont get "stuck" behind anyone..... it's a long season and as you've seen his year, Ennor will get plenty of opportunities at 13/14. There's enough games that you don't start the same players week after week. That's the reason Will Jordan stayed.

What a cop out if he goes to the Crusaders. How boring would this competition be if the Canes lose Beaudy and Jordie.
-
@Canes4life Its looking very likely the canes will lose both.
-
@Canes4life Time to give some exciting young talent an opportunity. Nothing boring about that. Personally, I can't wait to see how Toala goes.
You've gained Lomax. You lose some, you gain some.

@Stargazer yeah because it’s so exciting seeing Canterbury win all the time. By the looks of their crowds even Cantabs are getting bored of it. The Jordie signing (if it eventuates) just points out the need for change. On one end you have the Landers losing 13 players and on the other end you have the Crusaders over-stacked in the backs. IMO it’s better for the comp, you can hardly call it Super Rugby anymore when some teams are stacked and some teams have barely any depth apart from a couple of promising 19 year olds. Will be suprised to see it happen.
-
@Canes4life The Canes don't seem to lose many players, unlike some other franchises. They are stacked with good midfielders and outside backs themselves. Apart from Lomax, you've also gained Scrafton. Main problem is the halves. You're whining too much. The Canes will be good again next season. If you're in doubt, read back some of your own very confident posts on the Fern from recent weeks.

I think it’s fine. Players take the risk of competing for spots and not getting to show their wares. On the other hand, being part of a successful team often helps you develop and doesn’t seem to harm AB selection - although that seems to be changing - TTT hasn’t had many runs, and he’s paid for it by being skipped over.
I do think the Saders are better at giving their players plenty of opportunities, but at some point they’ll have to much talent to get them all out there.
I wonder what Havili is thinking?
-
@Stargazer i’m not just talking about the Canes. I’m pointing out the fact that there is a massive imbalance in this competition and it’s becoming far too predictable. I’m not sure about you but I’d rather watch a Highlanders vs Crusaders game without a predictable outcome.

@Canes4life Maybe we could offer one of there promising younger players a contract 😂
