fuck I'll laugh/cry if the first part of the surf jesus revolution is to revert to BB at 10.
@mariner4life My goodness I love it, but one request: Surfboard Jesus. Please, can we use Surfboard Jesus.
-
Lol Beauden was barely good enough this year. If he came back to the Canes I wouldn’t mind but I think he’s on the continued decline for international level.
@Canes4life We’re all thinking it. But if the Boks can carry Willie Le Roux’s corpse to a RWC in 2023….

No thanks to Beadan hanging around to try and make it to 2027

Why would he do that?

Experience would be the reason. Beauden has 56 tests starting at 10. DMac has single digits.
For what it's worth I dont think Razor will unless injury forces him to.

Did Razor actually ask BB to return or is it just a typical fern sauce?

Beauden can’t wait to pull on that Hurricanes jersey again.

Nothing to do with Razor, BB had a contract with Japan, that was all that was known. Beaudy's long term plans were unknown. Now the term of the contract has been made public and Beaudy has confirmed he wants to come back

Appears BB's signed with NZR thru to 2027. Can't imagine that happening without Surfboard Jesus (
game_film) wanting it."New Zealand Rugby revealed on Thursday that Barrett, 32, is poised to sign a multiyear year deal through to 2027, which will make him available for the All Blacks in 2024"

young players coming through must find it a little frustrating...patchy form currently and NZR want to lock in a 36 year old outside back?

Kinda makes sense if Robertson wants to build on the current team (pretty successful - lost the RWC final by one point) and evolve things rather than throw everything up in the air from day one.
Then again, why want to contract BB for 4 years?

god i hope thats not the case, was hoping for a bit of a seachange, everyone re earning their spot, just keep forster if we want more of the same

Why wouldn't we want BB to stick around? We have been lamenting the loss of experience for years.

@Crazy-Horse not all of us, personally i find the obsession with experience over form frustrating

I'm happy for him to stay for experience if he's cheap (and we can retain future stars), but I've always hated losing experienced super rugby players that boost that comp up overall and don't cost the earth.
