Quote Cruncher="Cruncher"If what you're saying is that we should sack him because he's injured, I think you'd find that would be a legal minefield.
The alternative is to sell him mid-contract, but who will pay for a prop who's been injured for so long, seemingly with no end to it in sight? They wouldn't even take him on a give-away, as they'd still have to cough up his wages.
We could try to persuade him to retire, a la Amos, but he doesn't have to do that if he doesn't want to.
I agree that it's a frustrating situation, having so good a player doing nothing but eating up wages, but I don't think we can just wriggle out of it as easily as you suggest.'"
As always what you say makes perfect sense.
I would add that I have spoken to Stuart briefly on a couple of occasions over the last year or so and I certainly didn't get the impression that he was happy to be sitting on the sidelines - far from it, he sounded very frustrated.
He seems to attract more criticism than any player in British RL (other than Sam), much of it very unfair IMO.
