    @Canes4life said in Super Rugby News:

    @Chris 100% agree. How can a player be fully committed to a franchise knowing he is leaving the following year. If the Canes let this happen they will look like massive chumps.

    How is it any difference to a player knowing he is leaving to go over seas the following year. They still play hard for the team they are paid by

    @Hooroo Because a player that heads overseas has usually done so after giving his all for their jersey over a long period of time. Case in point - Matt Proctor who busted his ass this year knowing he had limited time left in the jersey that he was loyal to for so long. There is no way you can show the same commitment knowing you are leaving for another franchise.

    I'm just imagining how pissed off Dane Coles will be. bahaha

      @Canes4life You would have to wonder how much this pisses off the Canes players.I will play for you this year but I don't really want to, I want to play for another team against you guys after that.Just go now ffs.
      Also does it not hold franchises to ransom sign a 2 year contract with an outclause to play at another franchise,So the SR team feels that have to pander to him to try and keep him.
      Nah you don't want to play for a team just leave.
      Canes put him on the Bench or don't pick him.

        I've been trying to find the article I read it in, but haven't found it.

        In one of the articles discussing BB signing with the Blues and a potential move from Jordie to the Blues, it was pointed out that the Blues are the only franchise in which NZR has a stake, while the other franchises are completely privately owned. The author suggested that NZR's role in players signing with Blues in these circumstances might be considered - I can't remember the words used - as a conflict of interests (?) and that the private owners of the other franchises wouldn't be happy.

            Hahaha that is idiotic. Why would they sign him only to bench him or leave him out all together. Some people need to get a grip.

            Wasn’t this same thing discussed recently with Akira and Reiko talking about potential moves the other direction if the Blues didn’t sort their shit out? But this is Jordie and he is over rated apparently.

            Really this is all speculation at this stage. This “option” to switch teams might not be an option at all. Maybe it is just a one year deal with the Canes. No different to any other one year deals except he has committed to NZ for longer.

                      @pukunui Sabbaticals and conditions on resigning they have written in.This starts a bad contracting model for players to sign a contract with an outclause to play for another club in the same competition and in the same country after one year.
                      Are you loyal to that club why play there ? why not move now and be done with it.If you don't want to be there move on.

                        What sabbaticals? What conditions? Nothing has be announced yet as far as i know.

                        How do you know this isn’t just a straight one year deal with the canes? Then he will negotiate the next year depending on where he wants to play. That poorly written article is nothing to go by.

                            Plenty of stuff has been reported, most of it directly contradicting the previous report. But yes, I suggest everyone just wait and see what is announced before getting outraged over bullshit special treatment.

                                If he has signed a one year contract, is that really that unusual? Don't a few guys do that now?
                                I know he committed to NZ Rugby for 2 years, according to that article. Kinda unusual, but really not much different to contracting year by year in my opinion.

                                  Canes don't have to sign him do they? They should just send him to the Blues now. Better for everyone.

                                      Haha a few people getting their knickers in a twist over this. Why shouldn’t he want to play with his brother? No different than a player wanting to be based in a particular city near family or play under a certain coach or any other readon for choosing a team to sign for.
                                      As far as i can see he hasn’t been offered what BBBR, whitelock and BB have been. He hasn’t been given a sabbatical he just hasn’t finalised the super rugby component of the deal. I don’t see anything wring with that.

                                      Alot of sensitive Canes fans

                                      Once BB went Jordie was goneski

                                      So he likely goes to Auckland to play with Beaudy and lives in a major city

                                      Or Crusaders & play in his preferred position of #12, with coaches he knows atm + spend a year at least with Scott Barrett

                                      If you're a good AB player you've alot of leverage Sign shorter contacts with opt outs/players options + Sabbaticals clauses

                                      NZR are a doing a good job NZ Super Rugby clubs better get used to this

                                      Japs are offering alot of money to play mickey mouse rugby

                                        You realise Wellington is the capital right?

                                          @Canes4life Sorry for correcting you, but it's McClutchie, not McLutchie.

                                          I wish the printers who sorted me 1000 business cards with my name spelt wrong were this pedantic.

                                          I can't believe they couldn't spell Ronald correctly!
