@taniwharugby said in Exodus 2019:
@Bones Cory Jane was saying, in Japan it is very much what the coaches want you to do, and players dont really contribute a great deal, although you'd expect with the influx of foreigners this would change a bit?
He might find it nice to just sit back and follow the other leaders!

possibly, although he did say in a RS interview last night post-rugby he might look at doing somethign with his leadership skills, so get the impression he likes being at the forefront of things.

@taniwharugby yeah almost a player coach, coaching leadership etc.

@ShadowTrooper and even less travel time than Europe would offer, which is much less by comparison to here.
Dollars (or Yen) aside, much less time away from home for those with young families must be a HUGE carrot, expect in Japan, the times worked woudl almost be like a normal 9-5
I imagine it's a vastly different culture though...which I guess might be an attraction for those guys that have slogged for 10+ years day in/out in the same environment.

Spot on. It's always a good idea for the privileged to get an idea about how the less fortunate live.

Jordan Manihera has signed with San Diego Legion (Major League Rugby). He played his first game for the club on Sunday (local time). He scored a try on debut.
@Stargazer Great player. Had a good M10 Cup. Would have thought he'd find a home at one of the SR sides. At least he's playing somewhere.

Sounds like Hemopo won't be back next year:

@Tim that's quite the sneaky slight at non NZ teams! Anyway...
https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/111158378/all-black-jackson-hemopo-signs-for-dynaboars-in-japan@Bones This was the section of interest:
"Everyone makes different choices and what's right for them at the time and [for] Jackson that's right for him and his family," said Smith, who will join French club Pau after the Rugby World Cup. "I know from the Highlanders point of view they wish him all the best. "Jax still has a few more years in him so you never know. "Obviously in our squad there's been guys that have gone over the Japan and come back for the Highlanders at some point, he still young enough to do that." -

I think that’s the first like I’ve given you in the Exodus thread. Well deserved
and good luck to him too.

I get the feeling Luke Whitelock will be one of those signings that the fans love in the end. He seems like a pro, and will work his ring piece out for who ever he is playing for. He's having a good season too, so is leaving with some form behind him.
Our playing stocks are getting massacred!

Another good signing for Pau. Moving to our place down there next year so excited to see the team build.
Luke, if you are reading this and need a real estate agent hit me up. I know a good one. Still hoping to run into one of these guys in the local Casto in Lescar. Conrad Smith has a massive article in the local trail runners news paper. Apparently he is getting into marathons. So fingers crossed for some stalking.
