        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.

                There’s always one or two of these type of stories around Origin time.

                          Aumua has got away with daylight robbery if he's not cited

                          He was head hunting in that tackle vs the Bulls

                            Mate, it's great to have you here on the Fern, but don't get lazy and slip into the mainstream media narrative. Aumua was stupid, adn could easily have copped a card on the day - but to suggest that refs and citing commissioners are somehow influenced by the poorest Tier 1 team is laughable.

                            Just look at Lions 2 and Lions 3 for examples of ref interpretation NOT favouring kiwis.

                            Good luck for the weekend anyway; and if you do get up, I'm really not sure a trip to Chc is winnable for you, especially if the Canes can demo your scrum. Crusaders are smart enough to exploit that to the hilt,a nd take the points, territory and possession that cancome with it

                              @Jaguares4real I suppose the Canes get one back after TJ Perenara’s head was taken off against the Lions.

                                @nzzp I'm pretty sure it won't be long until the poaching of south sea islanders is brought up, just to go for the full house.

                                      The flip side to that is that youngsters want to play with the best. As a short term plug in a disastrous team, I think he is a great purchase.

                                      I'd have him in the Chiefs in a heartbeat

                                        to add to that, I think the only one looking weak in this move is Barrett if he goes.

                                          one thing about it if he does move, the Blues will no doubt have to shell out some cash to get him here, for which Super rugby season? 2021? 2022?

                                          So they still need someone in the interim, lets say one of Plummer, Perofeta or Black start to fulfill thier potential, next thing BB is back, sorry son, back to the bench with you?

                                          Not sure it is a good idea to sign him given the break he is supposedly seeking, this will stagnate the growth of others with the expectation that someone is just keeping his jersey warm until he returns.

                                          Maybe this is why the canes arent fighting so hard to retain his services?
