Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3478020, member: 9853"] Well, first of all no player leaving to another club at the termination of their contract should be punished or persecuted in any way. We're above low class, petty cuntery like that. But, there's no point in investing in their growth beyond what can be immediately realized. To that end, if we think Herbie has the makings of a "gun" centre, but he's not quite there yet, we shouldn''t be treading water waiting for it to happen if he's ripe to go elsewhere. And we could invest in our long term future like Cobbo or Mariner. Or someone who's ready now like Arthars. On the other hand, while I think Herbie isn't the attacking centre I'd like him to be, he might be the best all-round centre when you take into account his work rate in all aspects of the role. But, that's assuming he'll continue that work rate now he no longer has the incentive. So I'm inclined to leave him where he is for the opening rounds, but look at gravitating his successor into centre. While Cobbo is definitely an upgrade ball in hand, he's got to hang onto it first. Herbie has safer hands, is more trustworthy in defence and is less likely to slack off. On a more bonkers note, while I think Herbie's better suited to the wing, his style of play screams second row to me. He could be the next David Fifita the way he runs. If I were coach, I'd swap him for Riki. But obviously, that's not even remotely on the cards. [/QUOTE]
