Better than sitting it out in an environment where you are clearly not wanted - Leeds training for no purpose, Sydney training in an elite squad in the best league in the game - that's a tough one - who is the tit?
One thing is for sure 30 months in Aus and he will be a significantly better player than if he spent 30 months being trained by the Chuckle Brothers at Kirstall.
Training for no purpose?
How about training for the job he has been paid to do? As a member of the Rhinos squad. He has fallen away from selection but if every player moved on when this happened you would need a turnstile on the training paddock.
One minute he announces he will stay and fight for a spot, like he should, then he wants to be released.
I'll have my cake and eat it.
He was always going at the end of the season so Leeds had to plan life without him. IMO Biff at present would offer more than some members, but we can't control that.
To make him a significantly better prop player at his age, surely extensive game time and added responsibility would be just as important. Let's see what game time he gets. How is Mike Worrincy getting on? I bet he comes back a Super Star.
