Now now boys calm down. I was the one who originally asked a question of how much Yze would be on. Not that I'm involved or follow any team in the WRFL but probably about $800 (which Hank mentioned) is about the going price for someone with his credentials. I would need to watch a few of his games before I told you what I think his actually worth. Now the sign on amount seems very high as the top local clubs would only consider this type of payment for someone just out of AFL with still a bit to offer a top division club.
With regards to saying someone has a pea heart that's a bit harsh. What do you actually mean? Good sides are built around a variety of different types of players. Inside mids, outside mids, tall physical types (crash & bash types), tall classy players with polish (can mark & kick and are match winners) etc, etc.,
From what I understand Hank was a very good player and might have gone to a competition lower than his ability. Was he aware of this when he joined??
Anyway it would appear Hank has now gone to a better league to challenge himself, so I doubt his a pea hearted player otherwise he would have played in a lower league.
We are aware that footy has changed and the only reason I would question someone's courage would be if they knowingly backed out of a contest.
Cheers.
