Uke Do none of you understand contractual obligations?
Do you think they can be broken, just like that? (At no extra cost)
And how much money will we save by "paying up his contract" in full.
Pragmatism says keep until the end of the season
My complaint is with whoever allowed a clause where one of our oldest and highest earners could activate a year extension half way through a season of failure, whilst long-term injured and having contributed virtually nothing. It's also with Roberts for doing it and sticking it out here when he probably could have just retired, taken an insurance payout and gone into media work full time.
Fair enough he's looking after number one. But at the detriment of RFC. And it's them I support, not him.
In all probability he could still have retired, dropped off our wage bill and taken the payout at any point in the last six months. Instead, his presence is actively harming us by tying up money and squad space we could use with someone who might actually get on the pitch.
Clearly there's nothing we can do about it now. But Roberts has used up all my goodwill from his contribution to our promotion and then some. I wish he'd just oxf*rd off.
