      @KiwiMurph
      “It would be quite nice if the Blues gave us a cheque for the expenditure we’ve occurred, that would be quite nice,’’ he quipped.

      It would be quite nice if the Blues got a cheque for every player coming through their region that plays elsewhere. Around a third of M10 players I believe.

      It would also be nice if offshore teams had to pay NZ to take players ... but down that path can lie madness

          His decision raised eyebrows

          So his decision was a joke?

              @KiwiMurph this was pretty funny too

              “We gave him every opportunity to stay, but he wasn't willing to stay here and compete, and he's taken another path.’’ Robertson said.

              no chance of course that he wanted to grow his game in a new environment. If he makes the ABs, I'll chortle quietly to myself.

              So many years of getting the Kane of the Barretts, and wrecking 10s. Redemption y'all.

                    Funny how the anti Crusader brigade are focusing on one line at the end of the article and are ignoring the rest of the quotes that show the Crudaders handling his decision well, publicly at least.

                                        I heard Goodhue put on some weight to get up to 120kg, but even with the added weight, he was still able to perform PBs in the fitness tests.

                                          @Tim although I hate to say it, he’s probably only one concussion away from hanging his boots up.

                                          @Steven-Harris which is why I think he has been gun shy, but has had a decent run with his fitness this season (lockdown was probably great for many to deal with niggles) which will help with confidence too
