I think it's time the Hurricanes CEO walked. Losing two World Rugby Player's of the Year in your tenure is inexcusable.

Yet the Hurricanes player development system looks top draw. They have the best training facility in the country. Were one of the top three teams in the comp, any team could have won. If the players left due to purely rugby reasons, fine have a go. But, Barrett left because his missus told him so, and Savea from the sound of things wants to support his heritage. A good club doesn't stand in the way of players leaving for non-rugby reasons. Especially when they can just open the draw and have quality players available.

Ardie's confirmed as going.
This opens up backrow places for youngsters and frees up a lot of cash for keeping other players and for future signings.
Onwards and upwards. Go Black and Yellow!

Ardies turns 31 this year. So, not a huge loss he would been 5 years back. MP might get 1 or 2 years before age catches up
Hopefully MP can attract some other big names, Maybe RM if he returns

How much cash would it open up? We never did anything when Beaudy left.

Back at the Crusaders when he returns.
Would be cool if he followed Ardie to MP. Has the Crusaders actually been confirmed? Wouldn’t be surprised if he did the same thing. He’s made enough impact at the Saders.

If Ardie is on the top tier SR contract that is $195,000 (minimum = $75,000). The difference could be used to increase other player's salaries.

@Chris fair call. The recent passing of his Dad would have put life in perspective. Money isn’t everything at the end of the day, family is everything.

Yeah a lot about his Mum and family.

Would be awesome to see him join Moana but that does make sense. He will be 32 by then so you’d think Crusaders would have their plan B in place by the time Mo’unga returns. Can’t put all their eggs into one basket at that age.

I would hope they do.
