Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3328302, member: 9853"] If Payne leaves he's likely to be the least of our concerns. It depends on WHY he leaves. Not to play down his talent, but if one thing having by far the best prop in the comp has shown us, it's that having the best prop in the comp doesn't win you games. Let's look at some of the reasons he might leave: 1. We can't afford to pay him his market value. That would mean we've put money elsewhere and he's not our top priority. Not necessarily a bad sign. It would mean we have other players we want to keep more. Something we currently lack. 2. He doesn't see eye to eye with the coach or other players and wants out. That's either a vote of no confidence in the club, which isn't a great sign. Or he's part of the problem. Our position on the table will change how you feel about that. 3. He wants to be part of a winning team. If that's the case, we have bigger problems. 4. Rather than being driven away, he's being attracted to another personality, like Bellamy, Bennett, Crowe etc. Again, a sign we have bigger problems. As basic as this sounds, we don't need to worry about Payne leaving. We have to worry about winning. [/QUOTE]
