I have not heard, read or seen any substance to overtures being made.That is a bit of a pie in the sky comment.
To be fair if you have watched any of LF s games for Toulon he has been very good although it has been at Centre.@Chris said in All Blacks 2024:

I do find it amusing, highlighted by Parsons and Hall on the ARP, that some commentators mention that the record could have been better but for the close loses, and fail to acknowledge the close wins (Eng x 3, Aust) that could have went the other way. Fine margins.
Glass half full guys
Mind you, everyone's gonna stand up for him when they made him out to be the best thing since sliced bread during the Fozzie reign.
Fozzie just had to breathe and the media and public (especially Cantabs) were out to get him.
Harsh generalisation. I welcomed him, as did a number of others. But he has not lived up to his promise so far, and deserves to be put on notice with a no holds barred end of season performance review
Yeah and guys like yourself have called him out on his shortcomings, unlike a lot of his followers who just defend everything he does because it's him.

Brilliant defensive centre but yeah agree lack of pace counted against him especially after those knee injuries.

The two games away in Argentina will be a challenge. We do appear to have a more settled squad than last year, not that many departing other than Sam Cane and TJP. Sounds like Razor is pushing hard for the rules to change, sounds like overtures have been made to Jack Goodhue who has signed on to an extra year. RM and SF were initially who he secked to change the rule for, it appears they are coming back at some stage. LF return will be important as well, he left at a young age.

Goodhue surprises me if correct. I was a fan until it became obvious he was a tad too slow and then the injuries making things worse.

To be fair if you have watched any of LF s games for Toulon he has been very good although it has been at Centre.I think the midfield is his future. Think he'd make a good 12 tbh and would love to see him tried there for the Crusaders.

Jack Goodhue? LF? Fuck why don't we get the shit Whitelocks and George Bridge back while we are at it? Can we also get Aaron Mauger out of retirement?
This would all be so laughable if it wasn't so disrespectful

Yeah I think that is what will happen MF for the Crusaders.
As I Think Amua and Havilli or Ennor will move on after 2025. -
It's been a season marred by awful selections, a game plan that hasn't worked in at least 10 years, strong Crusader bias (type of thing you'd see in amateur teams not professional), anti-Blues bias despite them being the best team in Super, form players from other franchises like the Canes barely getting a look in, and now this wanking on about selecting overseas players continues. And the worst part about the overseas players request is that there is not a single player playing outside of NZ that is actually better than what we have here already. And worse still, it's centered around a player that could never properly make the step up to test footy after 60 odd caps!
At this stage I would be fine if NZR got rid of Razor over the summer and went out to market again to look for a coach with international experience that can get the best out of our players. It's very clear we do have the cattle to take back the No.1 spot, but we don't have the coaches.

I have been saying exactly that but the other way around. My glass is obviously half full.

He might even be as good as Lam, not that it matters for selection.

@Nepia There's a man on a ten match winning streak!
I think he's intently looking at how Will Jordan holds the ball and deciding which midfielders he's going to replace him with at fullback.

Very tightly if in space with support, very loosely if getting tackled.
Couldn't resist.

Probably shift him to centre.
No, that was Harty!
