You win some you lose some but Trinity will do just fine with or without him.
I do concur though that he’s sold himself short. HKR is the sort of club where players tend to sink more often than swim. I like Batch so hope he swims but there are other clubs where he’d have done far better.
The thing is we all know that a huge clear out is required. Obviously nobody would have picked Batch but none of us know Pochings vision and sometimes you just can’t fit everyone in.
I think it’s obvious the route we are taking next season. A mix of experience and youth. It a gamble but if it pays off we are laughing, if not then here we go again.
Whatever we can’t complain at Poching doing exactly what we wanted but then having a pop because it’s not the players we would chose.
I’m nervous but frankly I’d be just as nervous if we’d kept him and all the others. Despite our recent revival the current squad has little future and needs drastic surgery.
