Im in shock. Especially so close to the Franchise announcement and so soon after Blackpool. Did his contract really run out at the end of this season? I mean anyone with any sense when asked to take a drop in wages like he was at the begining of the year would have re-negotiated extra length on to his contract. The players appear to be shocked and gutted which makes you assume its the boards decision so i guess they should really explain to people what as gone on because it would have been so easy to get rid earlier in the season.
Ive not always been his biggest fan but his record speaks for itself and we play the best brand of rugby in this division which is always exciting to watch one way or another. If we got in to SL i wouldnt have minded him taking a shot at stepping up but maybe both these things were never destined to happen.
