Just to add he's never been disciplined by the club.
What a huge call this has been by the club. Gaz Ellis? Radford? Pearson? Whoever is behind it, fair play, they've got a big set of cajones.
Selling one of the best props in the country to a genuine top 4 rival... On the face of it, it seems ludicrous. Especially when you factor in the comments from his Dad about him never being disciplined by the club. Something's kicked off and I'm sick of reading rumours. I just wish the club would come out and say something, but understand the reasons they won't do that. I'm gutted as think he's a fantastic talent and brought a different dynamic to our forward play.
The club have tried to sugarcoat it with the announcement of Masi and Carlos (fantastic news on both accounts), but I still find myself thinking we've made a huge error. Obviously only time will tell but we are undoubtedly significantly weaker after today.
