A good warning shot to leave the SA lads alone!
The lesson here I think is clubs place way too much value on draft picks over and above doing the logical thing and trading with clubs that offer the farm for those picks. Rankine was always a flight risk. Jack not so much. JHF was 100% a flight risk, everyone told Nth this and they still refused to do the trade that would have put them in a better position. So I do think clubs need to perhaps be a bit more flexible with those top picks and not just blindly and arrogantly keep them. It doesnt always work and often there are signs.
