Poor to not have replacements lined up, need to act fast to appease fans.
Good luck to Jake though, been a great servant.
Really disappointed.
Personally I think we will already have somebody signed and ready to announce. The rumours of Jake to Hudds started weeks ago. I feel like we will have basically said they can have him so long as we get a replacement sorted. I don't believe the timing is a coincidence, a couple of weeks after a whole host of overseas players enter the country for the world cup.
If I was to guess I'd say we had a target(s) picked out weeks ago whe first speaking to Hudds, have spoken to them when they've come over, and once the deal was finalised have gone back to Hudds to finish the Jake deal. Potentially Wakeham as it's recently been in the news about him been available.
I may be so far wide of the mark with this, but it's just my thoughts.
