Quote: mat "This. People only moaned when sjielka played so its a bit rich claiming him as a big loss now.'"
Whilst I agreed all season that Siejka was as much use as a chocolate fireguard, it's still a loss to the squad for him to leave and not be replaced. Largely because he's a specialised 7. Whilst people may not have wanted him in the strongest 17, if Addy, Purtell & Thomas were to all get injured this year as we haven't kept Jacks, the squad would benefit from Siejka.
So it is weakened by him leaving, albeit only a tiny bit due to him being turd.
