He won't be signing for a NRL club. He's just saying all the right things whilst he's training with souths just like Jordie Barrett was last year at Melbourne.Caleb Clarke is currently training with the Bunnies as part of Super Rugby pre-season (was spotted at training today).

Wonder if we will get salary cap relief if he chooses to sign when his Super Rugby contract expires.
Who ?
TBH, I think Clarke would suit league better than rugby. He's been a bit disappointing in the last 12 months but I definitely think his style would be successful in league.
I agree but would he risk it?
No idea. I was just speculating about it since he's mentioned in the thread.
what is the drop in pay like if you aren't in the AB squad
I'm not quite sure, but they get paid for each week they spend with the AB in camp. I think they get an extra $7500 per week (that was 3 years ago) each week they spend in the AB camp on top of their NZ contract (which includes Super and NPC). Top ABs are on 1m a year, Clarke would probably be less than that.
Can’t see him or the majority of other current AB’s or potential AB’s jumping ship and leaving their comfort zone for NRL.
When you say Europe its really loads of clubs in France and 4 teams in Ireland as the rest are f**ked.
Are the Ireland clubs paying big money for imports that won't qualify for Ireland?
Politicians talk.
I'm sure it means something to NZRU and World Rugby Union, even if he never comes across.
Again it’s just words.
Or until Rugby League begins to seriously erode the playing talent available to the All Blacks as a clear and strong number 2 sport in NZ
