Peats confirms uncertainty- interview.

Posted by Bert de Naturál✌️™ on May 10, 2016 at 3:59pm

It stinks big time if he is forced out this year and will have a detrimental affect on the tight knit playing group.

Very bad move IMO if true. Would prefer to play for zero points than split this current squad up.

Peats cousin has confirmed he will be leaving the club. She has thanked everyone for there kind wishes but now would like some privacy. We had it all with this guy at hooker. Such a sorry end to have this guy leave premature early!

  If she wants privacy, why post someone else's business on her open-to-view Facebook page! I bet Peats is not happy if a very important decision is leaked in this fashion.

  Someone pasted it, but it's out there.

Not enough I don't think. I read here Peats was on a huge contract, I'm not 100% on that but that was the word.

Because we have 3 hookers that can cover for Peats in our top 25, but not enough front row stocks to cover Junior

I seriously hope if he has to go this year, that we can sort out a short-term pick-up and re-sign him for next year!

  I don't understand what all the panic about this Friday is.
  
  Greenturd still has at his discretion to impose a heavier penalty in a months time. We also have the opportunity to have the penalty reduced and the amount we are apparently over the salary cap investigated further.
  
  I would field the team we want every week and see what comes out when the investigation is over.
  
  What a f&%k up it would be to lose players, only find out in a months time we still cannot play for points in 2016.

  If he was in BA's plans for next year that would be the way to go. I wonder if they can sign him for next year and release him for this year.

  But which team would be party to such a deal? Who's going to want to pick him up for half a season only to lose him again at the season end?
  
  It'd take some serious trust and negotiation skills (neither of which we've been so great at lately) to engineer such a deal. I'd love to see it happen if Peats does have to go, but if he goes I really, really doubt he'll be back.
  
  There aren't any clubs who have a first string hooker sidelined for the season with an ACL or something are there?
