                Good time for him to head overseas. He's too old to be a new AB's winger and he's still doing well. Good luck to him

                    Noooooooooooo ,he is still top of his game, match winner for the Canes.
                    But he will be 29 this year, the way wingers have been lately I expect his form to start dropping pretty quickly.
                    Hopefully he is on some big $$$ he deserves it.

                        This 😞 It's the way of the world for non-ABs. Gotta make hay whilst the sun shines.

                          He probably read all the criticism he gets on the Fern and decided to leave. 😉

                          You have to admit, we are pretty harsh on players until they go and then wish they had stayed. There appears to be little room for a top 100 (but not top 40) player in NZ as far as fans go.

                                @Darren I assume this will open the door for someone like Rayasi to slot in as that bigger winger.

                                  not sure i agree with that. we are harsh on EVERYBODY. The AB captain has been copping it for the previous 2 years. And there are hundreds of posts bemoaning the loss of those 41-100 guys, and the effect on the Super Rugby product.

                                  I don't think Lam has really copped heat for his Super Rugby output, just the fact he wasn't really ever good enough to go a step higher.

                                  If anything, we anoint people "future ABs" after a couple of NPC games, and then try and hold them to that standard.

                                  The reality is, for that 41-100 crowd, the opportunity cost of playing in NZ on the hope of a couple of test caps is just too high. Good luck to him. Bad for NZ rugby, great for Ben Lam

                                    Lam attracted a lot of shit early on largely because of his surname. There were people on TSF claiming that Auckland did not want to pick him but Pat Lam forced them too 🙄

                                    2015 was his break through year

                                    It's a shame he got injured at the very start of the next SR season. He was extremely good in the Dev game when he got injured.
                                    That wasted a full year of his prime

                                      @Duluth I thought it was more than he was considered a 7s specialist initially, but I'm not up on the ins and outs of Auckland rugby.

                                        I thought it was more than he was considered a 7s specialist initially, but I'm not up on the ins and outs of Auckland rugby.

                                        I think that was latter

                                        The initial bullshit he attracted was because of his surname. It wasn't from Auckland fans.

                                          Rare in this day and age, but it's back to the farm for Tim. Nice for him to leave on his own terms
