itd be interesting to know where you got info on the club wanting to get him off their books? ive been a club member for over 16 years and know for a fact hes highly regarded. he plays bench for impact, much likely how he'd be used here..?
So is your info better than mine , time will tell . I was a member for many years when they first got started and have connections with league people in Wellington and Auckland , now the whispers i got were that he would like to get more starting chances , he did get to be the starter 2/3 years ago but got injured and hasn't got a look in since , if my memory serves me right . As i said the outer comment wasn't about him not being wanted just on the outer of the starting team .
So if he is as highly regarded as you say how come he can't even be promoted to starter when they are a prop short , he's shown he can do that job , IMO , it's not like he's short on experience now . But they would rather play a hooker as a prop ahead of him , and they have brought in another prop , what do you think the chances are he gets to start ahead of him . Seems odd to me , but really with the Warriors now they do a lot of odd things .
And i agree if he came here he would be doing pretty much the same , to start with , but maybe he would get the chance to prove he can start , something that seems all but impossible now . Plus doing it for a club that is going to be genuine premiership chances over the next few years , can't say that about the his current club .
But hey your a current member and you know for a fact he's highly regarded , which gives you the right to verbally abuse me so i guess i will just have to trust that you know better , but maybe , just maybe , he's doesn't feel that highly regarded . Being told your respected and being shown your respected are two totally different things .
