Yeah it's great when a still relatively young British player's career is threatened by a succession of injuries. Must give you such a warm glow inside knowing you were right all along.

Again.

Put it this way: if we had less money but more players like Chris Riley and were a club of the stature of, say, Hull KR or Quins, I'd feel happier with my rugby than I have in the last couple of years.

Done it. Apart from some mild criticism from JWP, there is almost universal sympathy/understanding. Only a certain LWF slags him off in terms he now uses for others.

A disgrace that warrants 'the sack'?

Does that really come into account, though? Most teams are operating close to maximum Salary Cap, it's usually judgement of where the money is spent that causes Supporters' distress.
