Have you watched Jordan Spain play or are you simply picking on reputation ? 

He’s not good enough for the Dragons and he is not that much better than local talent to warrant the expense and the opportunity for development lost. Didn’t the Timaru lad Deeley keep him out of the U17 World Cup team as a fullback in 2017 ? 

My understanding is that did not look at the Dragons - did not trial, but elected to go with Southern. Maybe a hang over on how some  players were dealt with under previous management.
