Have also heard that some of their junior and senior colts have approached neighbouring clubs to play.
With the exit of these TV players it's now confirmed my thouhgts. These players were happy to be world beaters and big fishies in a little pond. Now faced with a challenge they've gone walkies.
Well for the last couple of years these guys have been paid rediculous amounts of money to pump crap sides every second week, this would make you pretty lazy after a while. There is no doubt that they would have to lift their game to be where they should be to be competitive. I am not saying they couldn't, but they would have to work harder on the track and on game day than they have in the past. I can see a point of view that why would you challange yourself only for your perceived "value" to be lowered when you can go back to the city and live off of your reputation from the last couple of years. These guys were just there for the money anyway, they really have nothing to prove to anyone. Shame as it would have been good to truly test both TV and Div1 as to the true standard but money talks and bull$h!t walks.
