[quote="the-bearded-lefty":326ous3n]You see him being a miffed that he didn't get picked on the weekend with trialists ahead of him.[/quote:326ous3n] It’s all guesswork but I’d assumed the decision wasn’t related to that but the broader picture. As I understand he’s a prop and quite young. I think we have decent coverage in that area, wingers and flair players less options.

[quote="the-bearded-lefty":24oiyl8j]Oops my mistake. I thought he was a centre.[/quote:24oiyl8j] He may well be. I haven’t seen him play and his photo makes him seem more slight than the typical Prop but TotalRL suggest he’s a prop.

The timing is just a little odd, why go through pre-season training then bail out just as the fixtures start, unless you plan to play something, League or Union elsewhere. If he's giving up rugby to pursue employment or education, then good luck to the lad.

Desperate to find a positive in this, does it free up some funds to sign someone else up?
