There is grounds for the physio story.
And also about a 2 year deal elsewhere.
And perhaps a bit of each.
But for sure the club have released him from his contract whether it be requested or not.

If this is true what a poor way to end his time with the club...

If he has gone, then that is a pity because he has been in the squad for ? 14 years. But last season he looked all of his 33 years and unless he has found some magic pills, I suspect this would have been his last season anyway. From the clubs point of view it should provide Ben Evans with plenty of incentive to build on his strong showing last year, and with Asotasi pushing Chris Hill to be our number one prop, we look fairly comfortable in the front row - barring an injury run.

Absolutely no loss at all for me if true, sentiment aside.

a shadow of the player he was, and last season more often than not, a liability... probably not in the 17 when everyone would have been fit.

no loss at all for me either.

wut?????

Agree with Wirefan, no great loss for me

He had a poor season last season but the year before was one of his best, he certainly not in my top 17 but still a sad way to leave the club.

+1
except for the whether he leaves. I have no emotional care either way.
It's a job and he had other opportunities now.

Could this be one of Woody's pranks?

Re: Paul Wood : Mon Dec 22, 2014 11:09 am  

How harsh are you lot? He has been with us from being a junior player and always a loyal servant to our club.

Think he deserves rather better than just to be dismissed like this by both the club and supporters.
