I can not see why they would want to sign a almost 36 year old BB in 2025.

I guess Razor has indicated he wants him in his AB squad.
But to be serious. WTF!!!

Well we don't know what he was offered, if any money, it could well of been should we make a contracxt where you go overseas and could be used in ABs??
FFS why is everything so negative? RA use players that are contracted overseas, they only get paid when playing for Wallabies!! I would guess it was simialr idea for just in case and the NZR board said no anyway. -

36 year old First Five who is declining in his ability at 32 let alone in 4 more years.
Maybe money should be spent elsewhere and not to mention it opens up doors for all our AB's to play overseas that would hurt our domestic comps and make them 3rd Rate.I wonder if TV monies will be as big if that happens I would say not.
Just a silly idea by NZR again with no real benefit to the game in NZ through the tiers. -

@Chris you'd think they'd have learnt from Julian Savea and more recently Codie Taylor, the latter battling with form in 2022 and he's signed on through 2025....

Yep exactly they dig a hole for themselves with this sort of thing.
For me if you go overseas then that is your career over seas you can not have it both ways.
Were is the incentive for players to stay with their SR teams and NPC teams we are already seeing it with all these players off to MRL if that grows bigger and you have Europe and Japan.
We will have our top 40 or 50 players not playing in NZ comps. -

Do the Irish still get some kind of tax exemption once they retire? Would be good if we could get a way for our guys to spend thier last years playing here more often, this is where our next generation are missing out.

So seems you calling NZR idiots for agreeing with you huh??? -
If it goes to board level then it is not just brainstorming ...
Well it is, because anyone who has idea has to take it too board level to see if it can be discussed first. Surely any idea is talked about, then taken to higher level to see if it can be done, it is in almost any business I been involved in.
That's how we got sabbaticals, Cater's agent took it to negotiating table , they listened and took it to board who agreed.
And personally have done similar myself, dept I ran , young fella was leaving, I asked if he got more money would he consider staying, he said he would think on it, boss didn't want to pay him more, so no problem. -

Fair enough , I was talking re BB case as that was where NZR was involved. And was never aimed at you was in reply to the so called waste of NZR's recourses.

Yes it was stupid by the NZR to even consider it or breach the subject with Barrett.
Another bad thought entered someone’s head at NZR.Not for the first time lately.And you throwing your dummy out of the cot does not change anyone’s opinion.
Just brings a smile to the face. -

The only boards/companies/clubs that fail/stagnate in my opinion are those that discourage new/different ideas from being discussed. That's why you have boards voted in, to try and work out what is good or not.
My opinion is NZR board got this right, they discussed idea and rejected it.
