If you can't shift the guy that's the incumbent in there, you do your very best to keep doing that.

What is the answer here in terms of players like him?

Yeah, very sensible, well-spoken.

I'm nodding my head toward that, John.

you know, confirm to you that we need to start opening up the doors to all the super rugby sides as well.

I keep banging this drum, I know, but Mark, do you agree with that, that if you play super rugby in New Zealand, you should be able to play for any of the franchise sides in the comp?

It all just makes sense, doesn't it?

The other thing is that this lends to me a draft system, JD, where every year you can pick your 25 players, your first 25 players for your franchise and everyone else goes into a pool and then the other teams can have first dibs on them.

I keep going back to a situation we had years ago where I think the Crusaders had the four best first fives in the country or something and they're all sitting there.

And I can understand the selfishness of a super rugby coach because your job is on the line if you don't actually perform.

But you imagine a draft every year where all of a sudden names like this are available and then the other teams can come and get them.

It'd be a day in the calendar that you'd all look forward to and everyone would be sitting around.

Yeah, I mean, the TAB could make money out of it.

All right, team, listen up.
