Quote: Vancouver Leyther "Without any disrepect to anyone, the press release says it all. He turned down full time to play part time.
A part time anyone ( especially a 33 year old) is not going to replace anyone in this team. Good luck to him and Fev though.'"
Ok, to make it clear, please read my original post above.
His age is only an issue for me in this case because he is not willing to be full time, hence the age being a secondary reason in brackets !
The older a player gets the more important it is that he is full time, to get the fitness training and full range of after game recovery options to stay fit and fully effective at the high level our club is aiming for. A full time, fit and quality halfback is what we need to add to our squad, regardless of age, to complement (not replace) our current quality half back pairing.
My original post was in direct reply to another teams fan saying that this guy was a "replacement" for Ryan.
Trust me I have no problem with age, I'm old enough to be this guys Dad and I'm still playing rugby.
