yeah, im a bit dark on it all, even without the cards and brain farts Sio just doesn't do enough, doesn't create enough to get the free ride and number of "second" chances he gets
Walden is an actual leader who deserved better
Yeah this has pissed me right off this year. Pretty angry with them for letting him go but even more angry for just leaving him sitting around doing nothing when he's the best midfielder in the squad the last 3 years. His combination with Thompson was great too and look what happened to Thompson this year.
Surprised that with Mauger gone there wasn't a change in stance, but I hope Walden stays in NZ and shows us his potential.

Highlanders set to lose another veteran midfielder as part of widespread personnel change
One of the most loyal servants to the Highlanders since 2016 looks to have played his last game for the Dunedin club.

@Yeetyaah i was just going to post that too, so Thompson and Walden confirmed as off but we've kept sio...i wonder if cost has come into, sio would have to be the cheapest of those
edit, just posted this on the article
"Pulse Energy Highlanders needs to be more open with these departures, we're looking silly letting so much leadership go from the midfield seeing it was one our our week links this year"

I don't get the angst over Walden. He's never stamped a mark on SR. He's s fringe squaddie at best. Same with McKay. 2-3 seasons and sure, limited opportunities, but a good enough player would have taken one of those opportunities and made himself an essential selection.

Next to Ioane he was our best back last year.

You're looking silly by not being able to use simple language too.
Sigh, I've had a long weak.I also agree with the guys jumping up and down about Walden. He was good. Whose wife did he shag?

Calm down mate, it’s a typo
I wouldn’t be as worried about letting these guys go if we’d already signed equal or better replacements but currently sio seems to be seen as the future
I also probably wouldn’t be as annoyed if there had been some communication...rather than just not playing him and then people reporting he didn’t have a contract
-
@Kiwiwomble Perfectly calm thanks. They aren't even my team.

@Bones Jesus fuck really???!!!
Care to dispute it? Or is that your best effort?
He's next to useless, so I'm exclaiming given you're saying he's your second-best back, on form. I think maybe you need to go and hit the tackle bags yourself and get rid of some of that pent-up rage.

Not all of us have a range of ABs to pick from, he’s better then those we seem to be favouring is all that annoys me....as in he has done more than give away cards

Next to useless? He's a starting quality 12. He certainly didn't look next to useless carving up Canterbury on the weekend in the Shield game.

He's a million miles away from a starting SR 12! And yes he did well against the experienced duo of Rameka Poihipi and Isaiah Punivai. That's one hell of an endorsement.
