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.
There are still times when a club (or any employer) can be very unhappy with an employees actions but without any grounds to discipline them. For example if a player had an affair with another players wife, strictly speaking that wouldent be any of the clubs business, but it might have the entire dressing room in uproar.
NOT suggesting that is the situation here, just giving an example of where ‘never disciplined’ wouldent be the full story.
