I understand why we are letting him go, 5 into 4 doesn't go and I'm all for giving home grown youngsters a chance go and with Hadley, JA and Paea coming back there's no room on the cap. so i don't disagree with the decision. however to state the youngsters are better is simply not true.
He's done very well in a position/role he's being asked to do, essentially a prop when he came in as a utility back. Showed us glances and was very hard working/good tackler but not given the chance because his role is to fill in gaps for others and that we don't have a fast wide out forward in our system and haven't for ages. Deserves the two medals for being part of our CC winning campaigns.
good luck to him.
Fash is a much better prop than him.
Masi will be better than him next year.
Hadley is a better backrower than him.
I know others won't agree, but think Turgut will also be a Breyer player than him when he settles down
So yes they are and Radfords agrees who see these players everyday and he knows more than both of us, so I'll trust his judgment over yours.
