Quote: Wires71 "We would be worse off losing any squad player - by definition we have reduced the squad size. Not really an endorsement.
If he was an Aussie import I suggest most would be ambivalent about him.
So, home grown or not, the question to me is "Is Philbin the best player we can get in the #15 shirt for 2025 and beyond?"'"
We'd have been better off losing Matautia last year!!
Jesting aside, i hear what you're saying so looking at the available players next year, which one would you take over Philbs at 15 (and they'd be happy to be 15 and not 8 or 10). Genuine question, not facetious.
