Starting to notise a common thread, of players loosing so much ground in their career due to injury. In many cases they are lucky to cement their spots back and when they do they are often faced with intense competition for that spot. Goodhue will certainly be a loss to the both the All Blacks and Crusaders, however while he was coming back into form, others in the Saders and national side were cementing spots like Dallas Macleod. Same may happen to Tupae, as the Chiefs also have some quality centres. It does suck loosing guys overseas.

One solitary test against minnows Japan, along with seven other debutants, in 2018 hardly warrants him being described as an "ex All Blacks Gun"

Ozzie article, gotta big up everything. He was good though, and has been up north, from what I've seen.

@Machpants tbf my resume would have All Blacks 2018 highlighted in bold.

According to this article on Stuff, Josh Dickson has signed with Steve Hansen's Toyota Verblitz. It hasn't been announced by the club, yet.
Josh Dickson has been announced as the latest signing for Toyota Verblitz in Japan, the club where Steve Hansen is a coaching consultant.
Dickson is expected to play for Otago in this year’s NPC before moving to Japan.

Yeah maybe not gun, but I was disappointed he left. Another midfielder that had only just hit his straps and could have been very useful.

@Stargazer had high hopes for him in last yrs NPC. Started at 6 but was replaced by Delany. He was fairly ordinary after looking promising with the Blues

Yeah he had 2-3 very good games for the Blues in 2022 but never kicked on.
He probably just needs to play more. 11 NPC starts in 3 seasons, 3 SR starts in 2 seasons.

@Duluth Yeah his performance against the Highlanders in 2022 at NH stadium made me think we had a real star on our hands. Sadly for him he barely got a run after that.

Him, Evans and a few others make the argument for more super sides; they just cant be hidden away in uncompetitive teams.
I don’t know how to solve the issue, but we have enough talent for more teams.

Or make the argument for providing better incentives to move franchise?

In each of their cases, they might move to sit on the bench. Not sure that argument holds so tight.
