Quote: Uptoncat "Cracking player who in my opinion could cut the mustard, however from what I believe he was offered the same terms as Trout, Davey, Morton et al (my understanding of the situaton is we have a wage structure in place for upcoming youngsters that has been stuck to vehemently) and turned them down. Perhaps after his outing on boxing day he may be regretting his decision. Hope we can persuade him to sign up some time soon as I really do believe he could be a top class 13 and he could have the likes of Morrison and JD as his mentor.'"
That is correct from what I'm told, we pay X and he wanted Y. I'm not against breaking the wage structure in exceptional circumstances. I rate Anekin but am not convinced he is exceptional enough to take the risk.
