[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 652991, member: 57076"] yeah might be cool for a Saffa but it's pretty fkng disgusting for those clubs that pay the best cash in the world to get the "best" and get shiit in stead for a whole season...that's like spending millions on a French restaurant somewhere and getting a McDonald's as a result the whole year. And it's not fantastic for a player's resume anyways. You look at a guy like Jonny Wilkinson: has won in England, then Grand Slam and World Cup with country, then comes to France and wins H Cups and a Brennus and was a big part of his team's success. A guy like Steyn isn't 30 yet and is wiping the bench while a 22yo rookie is collecting starts every week...acclimatization is a strength in itself and a quality not many players possess. As a pro athlete, you have to be able to cope and adjust no matter what, and that does go down in your resume when it's all said and done. You sign, again - for huge bucks, you're a grown man and can make your decisions, then you gotta take responsibility. Yes is yes, no is no, but ain't nothin' in between. [/QUOTE]
