Good move for all parties I think, warm weather training and games to get his fitness up.

He’d have improved us no doubt, but not by enough to make the plays offs.
I'm not sure about the "we turned him down" bit but he will be better prepared for the WC than many playing in a hotter climate.

I suppose there may well have been some resistance to him signing for us, a distraction to what SM is trying to achieve with his new boys?

Anyway, I am disappointed he didn't come here of course but I wish him well.

Just don't do anything silly and get yourself fit for November!
