Not sure if this has been confirmed or not - sounds like Gregory will be a Highlander next year.

@Canes4life Not confirmed (yet). It's again an article from Cully, who keeps on repeating the same "rumours".
I find it a bit hard to believe that he would not continue with sevens. 2020 is an Olympic year.

@Stargazer Same guy who reported Will Jordan going south?

Strap yourselves in.
@Canes4life So basically, we need to Chiefs and Highlanders to win with a bonus point and the Bulls to smash the Lions (who need to lose without a bonus point)?

To me this reads that BB is off to the comedy Blues.
If you are signing on with your same team, you usually just say.
Gold if so!

I still reckon he's dangling the Blues carrot to juice up the contract with the Canes and squeeze every $ out of them.
That said, we'd take him in a heartbeat - we'd wreck him at 10 so quickly he'd be back to being a 15 before you know it, and Mo'unga can take over the reins

From that article:
The fact he wants to wait until after the Super Rugby season will no doubt be interpreted by some as an indication he is set to sign for the Blues. One would think if he was set to put pen to paper with the Hurricanes, there would be no need to delay such an announcement, as has been the case with the likes of Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock. An announcement of a shift away from his current club could be seen as a distraction through the playoffs. But there could also be a unique scenario where he does not commit to any Super Rugby club until closer to his return. Stuff understands Barrett will not make a decision until after the Hurricanes' campaign, preferring to focus on the Super Rugby playoffs before he switches his attention fully to his future. -

Makes you wonder why not just announce it if he's staying at the Canes.I think waiting may have a bigger impact on the Canes its an Elephant in the room.Waiting to after SR will fuel the move to the Blues rumour's.All the articles are pointing towards a Sabbatical at least for 2020.

@Hooroo possibly he will re-sign with NZR for 4 years, have a year out or NZ next year and then look at his Super options for 2021 in a year?

@Chris He better play well through the playoffs after causing this unnecessary distraction. The team is on a good run atm and the confidence is high, they don't need this sort of shit to derail their campaign.
-
@Stargazer Yep me too that has all stalled hasn't it
-
@Canes4life Thats why its hasn't been handled well has it.You guys may not have BB next year either way sabbatical I think.
Where does that leave the Canes for First Fives fuk all around. -
@Chris Either one of Garden-Bachop, Smith, Marshall or McClutchie I would think.
-
@Canes4life Is Marshall not off to Japan as well its on wiki
