We must have someone else lined up then...
Smart move Parra. We can't afford to carry injured players. Especially in the forwards were we need a couple starters.
Best of health to CW.
This club making good decisions & chasing good players.
Well then they should have sacked cutho 2 recos great signing by the club to be held ransom
It was the only realistic choice.
Soon as he did his knee this was always going to happen
Nearly impossible for a prop to comeback from two acl tears. Good move by parra and he would of been a good addition if not injured.
I know it was a no brainer to have pulled the offer and I may be naive but I am enjoying the approach to recruitment and retention this year
This sucks - for mine Welch was exactly the guy we were looking for. Club didn't have a lot of choice, and if he comes back and shows the injury hasn't impacted him too much next year - will not surprise me, if we go back in for him again.
