    With the Chiefs and NZ Sevens so impacted by injuries it was a surprise to see Bailey Simonsson not in consideration.... until one has a look at the Canberra Raiders squad-list. Presumably cover for fellow kiwi ex-union player Jordan Rapana.

    Kinda sneaked under the radar, because it wasn't a French, UK or Japanese club announcing the signing...

    @Chris-B

    Did you read the article? It suggests Retallick is likely to only go for one or two years.

    he'll come back heavy, worn out, and a bit shit.

    Heavy worn out a bit shit and will still get an auto MOTM vote from me.

    This will indeed be Kieran Read's last year playing in New Zealand. He will join Japanese club Toyota Verblitz next year.

    Really didn’t anticipate that news about Read. Still in a state of shock.

    Japan will peobably suit him more - less playing time = less frequency for injuries..

    Wasn’t moaning. You need to rattle some bones, Bones, and adjust your black humour radar.

    @ShadowTrooper and even less travel time than Europe would offer, which is much less by comparison to here.

    Dollars (or Yen) aside, much less time away from home for those with young families must be a HUGE carrot, expect in Japan, the times worked woudl almost be like a normal 9-5

    I imagine it's a vastly different culture though...which I guess might be an attraction for those guys that have slogged for 10+ years day in/out in the same environment.

    @Bones Cory Jane was saying, in Japan it is very much what the coaches want you to do, and players dont really contribute a great deal, although you'd expect with the influx of foreigners this would change a bit?

    He might find it nice to just sit back and follow the other leaders!

    possibly, although he did say in a RS interview last night post-rugby he might look at doing somethign with his leadership skills, so get the impression he likes being at the forefront of things.

    Spot on. It's always a good idea for the privileged to get an idea about how the less fortunate live.

    @Tim Hmmm, it doesn't say when he'll join the team. I assume there will be an out-clause, in case he's in the ABs squad. The DynaBoars website only says "for the 2019/2020 season".
