@Chris said in Super Rugby News:
Retalick and Barrett next sabbaticals
Anything to get them to stay!
@Machpants Yeah I think that's where NZ Rugby are at if they want to keep their elite, It has it's downside though if they don't keep it under some sort of control.

@Chris Will be a good move for him I think. Dunno if Marty will stick around for another year.
-
Although I understand it from the Highlanders pov, I hoped they'd go for young blood like McClutchie.
-
@Stargazer Isn't he supposed to be the heir to Beauden's throne?
He should be but it depends on
- whether they re-sign Garden-Bachop
- whether they re-sign James Marshall
- when Fletcher Smith comes off-contract and whether they re-sign him if that's this year
- whether the Canes are finally going to develop players from the Bay including by giving them game time

@Stargazer Surely Garden-Bachop is gone, he's meh IMO. Smith is decent so they'll probably keep him around. Marshall is more of a fullback isn't he?

Yes, but he is from Wellington
Marshall is more of a fullback isn't he?
Yes, but they use him as 10 cover as well.
@Stargazer with Beauden most likely taking a sabatical next year they will most likely end up with all three (Bachop, Smith & McCLutchie).
If they are going to get rid of anyone, it should be Smith. Garden Bachop looked alot better than he did before his injury.

@Canes4life Ideally, from a learning perspective, the Crusaders sign him (they probably won't), so he can learn off Mo'unga and - if he stays - with O'Gara as his coach. If BB isn't at the Canes, he doesn't have a good senior player to train with. But I don't know whether he'd be better off at the Chiefs; he may get more game time behind MMac (if he's staying); not sure whether they'll re-sign Falcon.

The Crusaders have that young kid from Aussie in their system, surely they will bring him through.
