Jack Goodhue has extended his contract with Castres by 2 years until 2027.

Has he managed to stay clear of injury during his time there?

I can't see a french club in particular signing someone who's ravaged by injury. So very likely.

Good on him then, because he couldn't stay healthy in NZ. Maybe Ethan should move to France, might help his career.....

He'd last about 20 mins with the extra physicality they play with up there.

A player worth keeping would have been Cunningham-South. He's far better than Frizell IMO.

The Highlander who left after one season of form would be my pick. Played somewhere between Kaino and Read in style.

@Yeetyaah Wasn't he not that far away from getting an All Blacks cap? He is Aussie born wonder if he is going to commit to the Wallabies.

He did get a test for the ABs.

Yeetyaah

One test in 2022 so will be eligible next year

@Yeetyaah For the Wallabies or Abs?

Yeetyaah

@SBW1 he's played a test for the All Blacks in 2022, will be eligible for the Wallabies next year.

Poop. James Lowe like kicking and brilliant at putting people into space. Shit defender, yeah, but most current AB back three are

The irony of our AB coach driving players overseas and wanting to select them from there.

Yeetyaah

Can't blame Shaun when Chay Fihaki is getting picked over him

Billy Tell

Don’t think he has what it takes to be an AB winger. A bit of a one season wonder.

Agree with first sentence, disagree with second.

Robertson snub?

Foster gave him a shot and then didn't pick him again, after he was playing even better at lower levels...he is the epitome of the comment 'plays one side' although certainly not the only one.

Maybe, just maybe he was given work ons, but failed to meet the requirements?

Have to assume that both Fozzie and Razor see something that didnt quite fit, kinda the same way these guys continually pick players we see as a poor fit...

I hate losing players like him, but the hyperbolic headlines help no one.

sparky

@Tordah Can't blame him. Another one who should have been given more of a chance in the Black jersey. He had much more to offer this year than Sevu Reece.

African Monkey

Wasted talent in the end which is a shame. Yeah he had defensive deficiencies (not the only one), but he never got a fair crack. He had all the skills to be a good fullback, but sadly in the last few years, they've always favored the hybrid 10/15s.
