Really didn’t anticipate that news about Read. Still in a state of shock.

Oh good, here moaning about the Exodus thread in 2019 too. Another thing that couldn't have been anticipated...

Wasn’t moaning. You need to rattle some bones, Bones, and adjust your black humour radar.

Japan will peobably suit him more - less playing time = less frequency for injuries..
@ShadowTrooper and even less travel time than Europe would offer, which is much less by comparison to here.
Dollars (or Yen) aside, much less time away from home for those with young families must be a HUGE carrot, expect in Japan, the times worked woudl almost be like a normal 9-5

I imagine it's a vastly different culture though...which I guess might be an attraction for those guys that have slogged for 10+ years day in/out in the same environment.

@Bones Cory Jane was saying, in Japan it is very much what the coaches want you to do, and players dont really contribute a great deal, although you'd expect with the influx of foreigners this would change a bit?

He might find it nice to just sit back and follow the other leaders!

possibly, although he did say in a RS interview last night post-rugby he might look at doing somethign with his leadership skills, so get the impression he likes being at the forefront of things.

Spot on. It's always a good idea for the privileged to get an idea about how the less fortunate live.

Jordan Manihera has signed with San Diego Legion (Major League Rugby). He played his first game for the club on Sunday (local time). He scored a try on debut.
@Stargazer Great player. Had a good M10 Cup. Would have thought he'd find a home at one of the SR sides. At least he's playing somewhere.

Sounds like Hemopo won't be back next year:
