Agree, a bitch move if true......show some loyalty Beauden.

Let the players decide where they want to play, don’t start telling them where to go.

Haha,

He's free to go wherever he wants.

Context is important in those posts. 2 Completely different conversations.... if Beauden grew up wanting to play for the Blues then I would have ecxpected him to sign ages ago.

@SammyC the Dude lives and breathes wellington. House – wife – dog – friends – family + unprecedented team loyalty.

Then he won't be going anywhere I assume.

[Stargazer]

It sounds like clickbait to me. I believe it when they publish a media release confirming the move.

[Yeetyaah]

I thought he lives and breathes Taranaki? Surely he moves to the heart of Taranaki rugby, the Chiefs.

[taniwharugby]

be hugely surprising if he did move.

Would still need a good 9 to give him decent ball, so the Blues could ruin BB completely!

[Canes4life]

@SammyC most likely hanging a carrot to the Blues in an attempt to boost the Hurricanes offer before he re-signs.

I remember this happened to Carter at a similar stage in his career and he ending up staying with the Crusaders.

yeah but that was the Crusaders, no-one would leave the Crusaders voluntarily

[KiwiMurph]

Blues should ask the Canes to loan Beaudie to the Blues for this weekend only - like in junior rugby when you even up the teams when it's a clear mismatch....

[Steven Harris]

Real pie in the sky stuff..personally I would not bother given Barrett has a sabbatical clause in his contract next year not to mention back in 2016 he did not want come to the Blues and who do we end up signing ..?,his understudy at the Canes Otere Black who has hardly made one stand up and notice..
I would try and develop Plummer and Perofeta as my 2 main first fives moving forward and cut Black..
And then maybe look at Jack Debreczini who has only signed for one year with the chiefs and I have my doubts wether the Chiefs
will re sign him with the very promising Kaleb Trask in the wings..
Other possibilities are Hayden Parker,but that’s pie in the sky stuff as well given his close link to Otago ..or out of left field if we are lead to believe some of the press in Britain that he has been one of the poorest NZ signings. Lima Sopaga,why not..? We know he can steer a team around at super rugby level...

I can't see Beauden moving to the Blues, I would be shocked if its true which I doubt, maybe the Jordie move to the Crusaders has some merit.
Personally I think both Barretts will resign with the Canes I just cant see it happening.

[Canes4life]

@Chris From an interview a couple of weeks back, Plum also seemed very confident that Beaudy would stay with the Canes if he stayed in NZ.

[Chris]

@Canes4life I can't see him moving from the canes mate

[African Monkey]

Lol people are actually giving this Barrett rumour a second thought. The media are bored and are making up rumours here like they did in the past with Carter and Barrett a few years back.

[Tim]

Any rumours about Samisoni Taukei’aho? I've been keen on the Blues signing him.

[Chris]

@Tim Would be a great signing for you boy's if it happened. He is much better than a 3rd choice hooker,where he seems to be at the Chiefs.

You'd be lucky. I was big on Makalio last year, but I think he hasn't been as good this year, whereas Samisoni has looked sharp. I'd have him ahead at this stage.
