I may have cut a similar figure, in fairness. The Dufty try was a sigh of relief, not a chance to celebrate.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not convinced that he’s happy, and I’m not convinced he is staying. But there are higher priorities for me. If Thewlis was at fullback full time, would we be better, worse or the same? Now, ask that of Williams, or Vaughan. Dufty can go for me, if he’s unhappy. He’s not setting the world alight and while there is no doubt of his athleticism, he’s not as rounded a player as what Thewlis could be (could, not is… yet).
However, if we can get them all fit, flying and happy, then we have a chance. And from experience, winners tend to be slightly less homesick than losers.
