He's still got a contract.
Why do so many players in Auckland think when they're not in the current first grade squad that gives them the right to think of, contemplate, or exercise the right to terminate their legally binding contract. It sickens me that it happens so much at the Warriors, and seemingly, well aside from the Eels currently, little elsewhere. Are the agents agitating a mountain out of a mullhill? Perhaps if thats the case, their accreditation needs to be looked at.
The guy has a lot of work to do to get back a hooking slot for mine, Fien is creative out of there, and Gatis does all the little things right everytime. His top two inches set up two tries on Saturday but he'll get no credit for it. Hohaia is infinitely more talented than that bloke, but doesn't make it count enough. Yet with all that in mind, the halves aren't nailed down, if I were him, I'd get out train my backside off, do all the little things right, learn off the unsung heroes like Martin and Gatis and Koopu who don't need the glamour treatment and can cope with filfulling their roles, realise he's a better player than all them combine and put his talent to the benefit of the club. Sooner or later, the 7 jersey may come up for re-evaluation, and if he's done the right things on and off the paddock he'll get the gig.
This is not a go at Lance in particular, its a go at the culture of the club that players can't respect they earn the jersey, and they honour their contracts.
he could be another whiz.
