    Blues seem to be suffering a lot of departures lately.

    Guys who feel they have no chance with the ABs are cashing in now

    Bingo. Cheers current AB regime.....

    A good opportunity. I was surprised he wasn't in the Chiefs WTG again but they chose JJ Pokai.

    Wouldn't it be great if some of those players who left had a 'change of AB coach' clause in their contracts.

    Fail a fitness test, get arrested or something

    How many good to great players the Blues could get back!

    Sotutu, Lam, Plummer. Not saying they would have been the answer, but what a waste of potential.

    I was actually thinking George Bridge, but yeah, they'll do as well

    Crap. He'll probably have a stellar super season now.

    Thats a massive shame. Have a feeling he will be a starter by the end of the year. Looks promising in the midfield too. He'll only be 25/26 by then so could look to return

    And that right there folks is the biggest issue NZ Rugby faces right now. An up and coming player leaves at just 23, I've got a feeling this trend will only get worse. Money talks and unfortunately both NPC and Super just don't compete.

    Are there any examples of players coming back in their prime after leaving early in their careers? I can't think of any.

    I think things have actually largely improved since the Silverlake Deal.

    There will always be players like Fineanganofo who take the security, but in general it feels like it is better than it was pre Silverlake.
