Not sure why you keep harping on about the Werchon thing.
The one thing that put me off this kid is that he left because the coaches did not want to guarantee him a starting spot, and so they shouldn't if you want it go compete for it - West Guaranteed Werchon 5 QPR starts minimum.
Not harping on mate - simply giving some context around the issues down at Brothers.
Agree with everything you have said re his ability and why he has gone to Wests. I heard it slightly differently that he had conversations about wanting to stay at Brothers without needing guarantees but the coaches didn’t want to hear it.
The flow on effect of that conversation has filtered through to the playing group during the pre-season and along with some other player additions, is causing some grief. At least two respected senior players have left in the last week.
I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom, the club has depth. Despite them winning against a ‘weakened’ South’s team, most of their 2nd grade side is intact and they’ve got plenty of 1st grade caps there.
