Shutts was doing only what the Giants asked him to do, and that was find some 'Big Forrards'

What else was he expected to do than sound out the possibility to players he represents.

Too many people on here think Agents are far more influential than they actually are. Their brief is to protect the interests of their clients and if that means touting them to other clubs, so be it, but a player must be made aware of anything that would affect their prospects and livelyhoods.

Sportsmen have a very short shelf life, so who can blame them for employing someone to take on the added stress of negotiating contracts and related matters, allowing the player to then concentrate on what they do best.

Once again everyone knows more than the people involved, wait until the report is published.If people only posted facts instead of guessing perhaps these forums wouldn't be so full of 'Bull****'.

Granted, but as a player agent surely his first responsibility is to serve the best interests of his players. I don't think he has done that in this particular instance.

true

but then we would have much of a forum!

Must admit Brearley 84 I do get a load of laughs from some postings but some of them do get close to the borderline between guessing and downright pork pieing.
