Quote: AaronBull "Agreed, when you consider how well Morro has done since he left. The way I see the Menzies situation is that we replaced a 37 year old backrower with one more season in him, for a 27 year old captain of his country who has plenty more mileage in him, and had he not replaced the best back rower to have played the game in some time, Elima would be seen as more of an astute signing.
It's hard when you replace players that have done well or left in circumstances. Look at Herbert; there were rumours flying round on here that he was homesick, we'll now have a doubt over every Aussie we sign whether or not he wants to go home after the Orford fiasco. I don't envy the player that takes Menzies' shirt next year.'"
Strangely, although it's clearly the case, it's not Elima who is mentioned as the player replacing Menzies but Ian Sibbitt. When looked at from that pint of view it is perhaps a little different?
Wasn't the "Herbert is homesick" poster just making mischief after Orford? I remember reading the post and just smiling to be honest.
