id only be real mad if we spent a fortune on him, give his situation and his late signing im hoping we picked him up on the cheap on a gamble and given our either lack or green x factor out wide i dont blame them too much
-
@Kiwiwomble would have much preferred they gambled on someone who at least had a chance to show something.
Everyone knew it was a shit signing, everyone pointed and laughed... except those in charge at the Highlanders.
Heck even getting a loan of Jonah Lowe would have been better.
-
just managed to actually read the article, so he is back to full contact training but he need to prove hes good enough to take someones jersey...its not like he's picked up a new injury (yet)
-
@Kiwiwomble I hope they signed him thinking there was every chance he'd hardly even make the field and really wouldn't add much if he did.
If everyone else can see it, how moronic would they have to be to not see it? The kind of moronic which doesn't select Walden and thinks Ioane is a 12.

@Bones i'm not even sure what that first sentence means...
I'm not sure what part of perfect English you're struggling with...

@Kiwiwomble said in Highlanders 2020:
@Bones you want them to have signed NMS to do nothing?
No, otherwise I would've said that...

"I hope they signed him" - self explanatory
"thinking there was every chance" - intent in the coaches mind
" he'd hardly even make the field and really wouldn't add much if he did" - he wouldn't do much -

you might have expected it if you had a low opinion of the coaches but to hope they did it?
-
@Kiwiwomble said in Highlanders 2020:
@Bones is that better? you wanted them to sign him in the full understanding he wouldn't contribute much?
Jesus wept, are you blind to the words "there was every chance"?

Annnnd we come back to my first post. Moronic if they didn't understand he'd most likely be a dud. Which would you rather?

@Kiwiwomble said in Highlanders 2020:
@Bones its more the fact you wanted it to happen im struggling with
can we honestly not believe they, having actually seen him train and seen his medicals etc, thats they made decision in good faith?
I suggest you struggle some more. Never have I said I wanted it to happen.
