[QUOTE="William18, post: 719141, member: 38439"] I'm sorry I don't see the contradiction. The first part was me saying that you believe players only care about the World Cup. I don't think that is true as evidenced by all the people who haven't gone overseas. We didn't suffer mass exoduses in 2012 and 2013 with players coming back in 2014. We just lost Kaino and Gear. Basically two players are doing the World Cup cycle as opposed to about 40 who decided not to. The second part is me saying that if we put your idea into affect then it will cause resentment. If we just told Piutau that he can't come back for the World Cup in 2018 then rather than staying for 2016 and 2017 he would probably just leave now and never come back. I believe that under the current system players enjoy playing for the All Blacks for all 4 years. If we adopted your system and forced them to stay then that would build resentment which currently isn't there. I think it makes sense that you can enjoy something when it is a choice and dislike it when it is an obligation. [/QUOTE]
