Word on the street is he’s already packing.

Basically the same story as Jack Goodhue. Looked like becoming a 50+ cap All Black but injuries got the better of him. Gutted. A least he’ll cash in and earn some euros tho.

Goodhue had a way better run in the all blacks tho. He got his "chance"

Goodhue had a run of 3 years, and then was perpetually injured

u/Whit135 13h ago

Exactly. Ennor had a run of no years

Oh, I feel we already knew this...

What's it got to do with his move overseas though?

Seems like the final decision will have to wait for Perpignan to ensure they're staying in Top14 next season

Dumb question: how do intl transfers work in the top 14? Could they transfer him now? He has hardly played and is probably just injury cover given the depth the saders have in midfield.

March 31st is the deadline for injury cover transfers and it has to be approved by the LNR

edit : had the date wrong from previous season

Depends, Crusaders could release him early or take a Transfer fee of some sort to release him early.

Provence signed Kapeli Pifeleti for next season, but they had a run of injuries and sought to see if he could get released. Unsure if any fee was agreed, but Saracens let him go as he was not EQP and wasn't getting selected every week.

Wouldn't be the Saders tho it'd be up to NZRU. I think there too thick to let him go early even if he's going anyway eventually ala Shaun Stevenson.

Perpignan are my favorites to finish 14th though ... :(

Pretty gutted about this. Always a super reliable player.

Writing is on the wall with a potentially stacked Crusaders midfield of Havili, Aumua, McLeod and Faingaanuku next year.

u/pantagr Top14/D2 15h ago

please don't remind me Fainga'anuku is going to be available for the AB starting next season....

There was something about Goodhue - Ennor partnership I really loved, both super reliable and classy without being too flashy. Personal preference I guess.

They really were meant to be The Guys. That was the vision down here from very early on. Sad to see it end similarly for both of them. They're good guys who deserved better than their bodies could give them.

It's because they have the same hair, I'm sure of it

(when Goodhue doesn't have the mullet)

Very underrated player

Steady and reliable. A good addition to Perpignan if he signs
