I don’t have a problem with Jake leaving, he can play wherever he likes he’s not the youngest anymore and Japan now makes sense rugby and wallet-wise. But it does contradict the whole going home to be with the family take. But each to their own, only he knows whats best for him, left a massive whole in the team thats for sure.

It's just like that yeah. 
If the job in in SA from (let's say mid Jan inc pre season) to end May instead of July to end of May.

10 months vs 5. Which one would leave me more time to spend with family? I just can't work it out?🤔

You have a good weekend too. Wink

We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

I haven’t really have i? Would you move somewhere that is a 12?hour plus flight from home to be nearer your family? The japanese season is getting shorter by the hour on here first was 5 months now it is four months? If he had gone to play in oz then that would be a diff matter

You contradict yourself a bit there, surely? It's like a 4 month season in Japan isn't it?

You can think what you like that’s your perogative. I can think what i like that is mine. I’m sure part of the appeal is he gets to see more of his family. I’m also sure part of the appeal is a big pay cheque for less rugby in a less physical league . I think it’s a bit niave to think otherwise but everyone is entitled to his or her view on the matter and i respect that

At no point did he say that he would be staying in Perth 12 months a year. You seem to have made that leap yourself. He cited family reasons for leaving, and he will undeniably be able to see far, far more of his family by playing for a Japanese club than if he had decided to renew his contract here. All international players have to cope with lengthy periods away from their families, but I think it’s pretty poor to insinuate that Ball was lying when he expressed that 11 months away is too much for him.

Also aus has major quarantine laws and you can’t just fly over to japan for 5 months then fly back
They require 2 weeks quarantine in a hotel. Another reason to leave here. That quarantine is more palatable when you can then spend a few months at home rather than just a couple of weeks before flying back to the UK for pre-season.

Also aus has major quarantine laws and you can’t just fly over to japan for 5 months then fly back At least he moved as far as japan, finau told a similar tale and only made it as far as bath. Like i said no hard feelings i wish him and his family well. Top player and always comes acrosd as a nice fella

Ancient history now, but Salesi never wanted to leave, he was told he’d never play for the club again so agreed a release.

Good luck to Jake deserves to earn good money and have quality time with family gave up a lot to play for us and gave his all when he did play. Will always be remembered as a very good Scarlet. 
She asks why i still can't answer. I guess its in the blood.
