        @Canes4life So the Canes will lose both reserve halfbacks. Can't wait hearing who they'll sign to replace them.

            Judd’s a loss. But Beauden wasn’t on the leavers board so that’s a good sign.

              I'd be SHOCKED if he didn't take a sabbatical in 2020 or cash in & play mickey mouse rugby in Japan

                @Canes4life this article hints at no Beauden Barrett in SR until 2022
                Then he would be back at 31 in SR

                  @Canes4life Christie is shit, so lucky for the canes that he's off. Was glad to be rid of him at the Chiefs. Good trade for TTT in the long run. Isn't Booth coming back? Maybe they'll pick him up again.

                    Look I know you're a Chiefs fan but it's a bit mean to wish Booth on the Canes.

                    @Chris I think I've written this in another thread once or twice but I don't think that BB is as far out in front of his competitors to risk a break from the ABs.

                      Is Booth really the answer? He has been around a number of Super Teams without actually making a mark yet.

                        If the question is: once put in a performance to rival Chris Eaton on McLean Park then yes Booth is the answer.

                          Yeah Would have to agree maybe age is catching up or burnt out a bit.

                            @Higgins No Booth isn't up to SR, he's to slow a distributer for SR in my opinion.

                              If BB puts in a POTY performance at the RWC then he will have a lot of credit in the bank for a return post-sabbatical.

                                    Even if he does, it will be 2022 won't it?
                                    Not sure he would be the same player if he loses much of his pace.

                                      @Darren I think this is very relevant, if he's away from NZ for a decent chunk, get's slower, how much value will he add when he gets back? He's not DC who we've seen his game change well before BB's age now (look at his tries scoring rate over his career). So is it worth the canes going all out to get him for possibly 2 seasons hence (2022+)? I dunno, he'll still add value with all his experience, esp at SR level, but enough that you give up on other players?

                                        In the article it says Carter used to travel back and forth from Auckland to Christchurch for his Crusaders commitments. What a pain in the ass that would have been. Nonu did it this year from Auckland to Welly as well. Crazy commitment.

                                          I’m not too bothered on Beaudy going to the Blues if it’s two years down the track. He would have lost his pace by then. I’d rather throw that money at an up and coming playmaker that is actually available for the next two years.
