@SammyC interesting comments from the Canes CEO in here about Jordie.
-
To save everyone the trouble of going throught he whole article, this is what was said about Jordie:
Meanwhile, Barrett's brother Jordie is yet to sign an extension with the Hurricanes, but Lee said they were working on it. "He's told us that he's not looking anywhere else, but one of the reasons he came here was to play with Beauden, so we just need to sit down with him when he gets home [from All Blacks duty] and talk to him about what he means to the club and where we see him in the future. "That's an ongoing dialogue." Barrett has been rumoured to be mulling a move down south to either the Crusaders or Highlanders. -
My source has told me Jordie is still undecided. All 3 mentioned have tabled offers. Ball is in his court
-
@chchfanatic So offers from everyone except the Chiefs?
-
@Tim and blues. Surely it’s between the crusaders and canes. His midfield combo with goodhue at Lincoln was pretty impressive

What would that mean for Ennor?
-
@antipodean Competing with Jordan for the 23 jersey?

I'd imagine he'd still be covering 13, as well as making a few wing appearances. Plus as SG says, 23.
-
I appreciate it's the Crusaders, but would he be happy with a bench role?

He was a lot more than a bench role this season, certainly racked up the minutes and even earned himself an AB call up. Not sure why that would change?

I think the presumption is his chances would require the rest or injury to others. Even as an All Black, not sure I'd want that.

To be honest I'd back him to make a better fist of 12 than Jordie...
I seriously doubt he'll be lacking game time, he didn't exactly lack this year before he was a proven performer....
-
@Bones Yeah, there will be injuries and ABs rest breaks. Apart from those, only a few Crusaders' backs weren't rotated during the season : Mo'unga, Bridge, Goodhue and Havili. So there will be plenty of game time for the other players.
Besides, if Jordie comes to the Crusaders, he'll be less certain of a start every week than Crotty. Crotty was a lock-in if fit; Jordie still has to earn that jersey.

@Bones I don't think Ennor plays 12. He's a centre/wing.
I didn't say he did.

@Stargazer said in Crusaders 2020:
@Bones Oh, I must have misunderstoond.
This: "To be honest I'd back him to make a better fist of 12 than Jordie..." wasn't about Ennor?
Yes it was.

I'll love it if if goes to the Crusaders. My MIL is a dyed in wool Cantab (as in Matt Todd should've been picked ahead of Kaino in 2011) and she hates Jordie. It'll be hilarious to watch her do a complete 180 on this and now become his biggest fluffer.
He's been a bit average for the Canes the last two seasons. Hopefully he can find some form of he heads south.
Bro, sounds like you married well
