Valid reasons from the players point of view but not from our Clubs if they are being run better now from a list management perspective.
I guess we will find out if you’re right mate.
Again let me say I like what he has to offer.....but he has still got a long way to go this year.
I reckon it's likely to be mutually beneficial.
If Appleby comes in and plays every game for the rest of the year and looks likely to be best 22 next year, we've probably signed him at a bargain price (assuming he wouldn't be on very much).
Likewise we now know that we have depth in the back pocket position for next year.
Hasn't done a lot wrong from what I can tell.
