Get rid and get him off the books.
    He may be paid good money but I doubt its all by us. I imagine there is a nice insurance underwriter somewhere who is paying all or some of it.

    Never understand why rugby players seem to recover from hamstring injuries so much quicker than footballers...or is that just an impression?
    Because they are hard

    Indeed Andy, as this morning showed. I am actually in awe of the commitment shown by the Lions and the intelligent leadership of Sam Warburton, but 'hardness' doesn't speed up recovery from a hamstring or a broken leg.

    He could potentially become another Shaun Barker.

    Wonder how he managed to play 33 games in 2016 but then again your probably right a double leg break is a really poor excuse for not playing
