You talk with a prospective recruit, explain to him what you are about and what you need from him, he says all the right things signs on the dotted line and then cracks the shits when coach tells him he's not working hard enough and there is a younger guy putting in the hard yards. Player gets the shits, decides to leave.
This is not necessarily a recruitment fuck up.
It would be a fuck up if he was given leeway.
Same with RFM, the guy was trusted and given a chance to repay the club for their trust in him and he shat on that trust. There will always be garbage around the house, you just have to clean it up when you see it.
There is no way in hell that you do a team wrestling session and then have a mental breakdown. The kid, and I hope he gets well, had issues well and truly before that sesh. And I'm sure when the kid signed, he had the best intentions. Reality is like that, he wasn't strong enough. That's fine. I believe 99/100 soldiers who apply for the SAS don't make it. Doesn't make the 99 bad soldiers, just not strong enough.
And RFM approaching the coaches on behalf of the poly boys doesn't make him an asshole. Its what a captain does. And he's also entitled to feel the shits when he's told nana.
Its at this point the assholes turn up. The kid or his manager do not need to be telling the media this shit. RFM or his manager doesn't need to be telling the media this shit. And if neither of them said boo but its someone else in the club leaking shit, that cnt is an asshole too.
And if I'm a betting man, reckon its the last option. Too many different things all pointed at CC. Which by association is Gus. Which by association is the current sitting board and GM. We have elections shortly don't we?
