Gutted about McIntyre and Sirker.
Honestly not sure what the issue with Sirker is. Absolute no substitute for pace and he has it in buckets, he seemingly works so hard on his game with extra speed sessions etc away from the club, looks a very dedicated trainer - also having seen him play a few times in the a league and on YouTube recently I also think he is very sound in defence.
Something must be going on here though behind the scenes that we are not privy to as we surely would have seen him play by now - when he lit up the 7s a few years back I honestly thought he would have burst through in a Rees-Zammit kind of way but sadly the injury may have played its part - wonder if he has something better lined up but has potentially missed the boat for the GB 7s
The signing of Mehson was suspicious when it happened and feared Sirker might be off - also Watson getting the start last week probably meant he was staying too ahead of Sirker.
I wish him the best of luck as the kid could be a star.
Mehson however looks a good replacement and with Bacon, Williams and a few younger guys coming up we should be well stocked for a while yet
McIntyre is a club legend now and has been with us for so long through the ups and downs. Absolutely good enough to mix it at the top but fear because of his time at the club he’s probably on a pretty decent wage now which is sadly not getting us value for money with all of the concussions and other injuries. Potentially Nearchou already has taken his spot with Hislop coming in as third choice.
