No surprise with cost cutting, When a company goes from being funded by a public company to a private group then that money comes out of their pocket! They want return on their investment afterall which also means they will look after the club and try keep performances high

Ah well. We really need to find a good defensive centre to replace him. I can't go through the Mahe/O'Neill pairing again :(

i thought juzzie would have made a good center a couple of years ago, but his defense isn't good enough and should stay on the wing. an option might be waqa to center and oniell stays on the wing

So which one of our youngsters can defend and might be able to step up next year ?

I'm actually kinda bummed about losing Blair now. Really stepped up for us this season in a key position. Two years in a row we've lost the perfect player to partner Juzzy with.
