@Darren I think this is very relevant, if he's away from NZ for a decent chunk, get's slower, how much value will he add when he gets back? He's not DC who we've seen his game change well before BB's age now (look at his tries scoring rate over his career). So is it worth the canes going all out to get him for possibly 2 seasons hence (2022+)? I dunno, he'll still add value with all his experience, esp at SR level, but enough that you give up on other players?

I’m not too bothered on Beaudy going to the Blues if it’s two years down the track. He would have lost his pace by then. I’d rather throw that money at an up and coming playmaker that is actually available for the next two years.

@antipodean Not surprised NRL will shut this down quick don't you think ?
There’s always one or two of these type of stories around Origin time.

I thought it was longer.
Citing process and Timelines:
• Teams have four hours post match to request in writing for the Citing Commissioner to review and incident of foul play.
• The SANZAR Citing Commissioners have 12 hours post match to review any incidents from the match via broadcast footage and or additional angles of an incident if available.

Aumua has got away with daylight robbery if he's not cited
He was head hunting in that tackle vs the Bulls
He would've likely been sent off if TMO or AR had spotted it real time
But then we know about the invisibility cloak ABs have around foul play

Mate, it's great to have you here on the Fern, but don't get lazy and slip into the mainstream media narrative. Aumua was stupid, adn could easily have copped a card on the day - but to suggest that refs and citing commissioners are somehow influenced by the poorest Tier 1 team is laughable.
Just look at Lions 2 and Lions 3 for examples of ref interpretation NOT favouring kiwis.
Good luck for the weekend anyway; and if you do get up, I'm really not sure a trip to Chc is winnable for you, especially if the Canes can demo your scrum. Crusaders are smart enough to exploit that to the hilt,a nd take the points, territory and possession that cancome with it
-
@Jaguares4real I suppose the Canes get one back after TJ Perenara’s head was taken off against the Lions.

@Stargazer said in Super Rugby News:
I agree with this.
The flip side to that is that youngsters want to play with the best. As a short term plug in a disastrous team, I think he is a great purchase.
I'd have him in the Chiefs in a heartbeat
-
one thing about it if he does move, the Blues will no doubt have to shell out some cash to get him here, for which Super rugby season? 2021? 2022?
So they still need someone in the interim, lets say one of Plummer, Perofeta or Black start to fulfill thier potential, next thing BB is back, sorry son, back to the bench with you?
Not sure it is a good idea to sign him given the break he is supposedly seeking, this will stagnate the growth of others with the expectation that someone is just keeping his jersey warm until he returns.
Maybe this is why the canes arent fighting so hard to retain his services?
-
@taniwharugby Meh, we'll probably play him at fullback...
SS is full of shit, Crusaders (and other teams) import plenty of players. Not to mention our best ever ten was from Levin! Hardly new territory for the Blues.
