Playing with painkilling injections must be tough and I tip my hat to him but equally he should be honest and say he can’t do it and needs a rest. On top of that Peet should have made that call so for me both are at fault here.
I sincerely hope he does prove me and others wrong. I’d have no qualms about admitting that either if he did.
Realistically I guess players are playing busted most of the time, especially in the pack but I do think this news probably gives us an insight in to why he’s not looked himself. He could pull himself out or Peet could’ve done but at times, we’ve had Byrne in the 17 being the only prop most people have faith in. We’ve lost Cooper, we’ve seen Ellis and Havard absent a lot, Mago and Singleton have been poor and then it’s kids and you have to decide what’s more damaging, playing a lad who isn’t fully fit or going with 3 or 4 forwards under the age of 20/21 in your 17 man squad.
Fingers crossed this rest does the trick and we see him back to his best in a few weeks.
