Monopoly might be a bit too cerebral for Manu. Plus based on his injury record he might be more familiar with Operation?

Charles Piutau has signed with Bristol for 2 years. Starting from the 2018/19 season, not this upcoming season.

I guess Charles isn't coming back anytime soon
Entirely predictable. He wasn't going to be competitive coming back because he certainly wouldn't have become a better player while up north.

a million squids a year to play 2nd div rugby? fucking sign me up. Winning world cups is nice and all, but it would be a big ask to give that up for much less money and only a chance to win something

@mariner4life 2018/19 season. They should be back up in the top division by then.

Don't think he'll ever play for nz again. When you turn down a Rwc and a lions tour you know the bottom line will always win out. Would have been an AB great imo but he'll be wealthy anyways.

NZR criticised his decision, but less well known was that Piutau is one of 10 children and happened to be living in the garage of the family home. The same garage he had shared with four of his brothers.
Also heading to Europe at 25 is Malakai Fekitoa, who will join French giants Toulon in October. Fekitoa is one of 15 children and is thought to have been offered about $600,000 more to play in France than to stay in New Zealand.

Why?
Why not?
-
@Billy-Tell because he's not one

Would be interesting to know if piutau's agent and the NZRU even exchanged pleasantries. Quite possibly not.
-
@Billy-Tell Is it still Craig Innes?
