Presumably he comes back in the 26/27 season and eventually says it was all for the cash while getting exposure to some of the best S&C programs in the world.

He doesn't come across as the full deck of cards so maybe he is convinced (or is too embarrassed to admit otherwise) that he has a chance or that it was actually the dream of a kid from the valleys

What I've always found a bit odd is how he's been public about saying this is his dad's dream and all he wants to do is make his dad proud. Fair play obviously and each to their own but personally I'd rather my son choose his own path and not be worried about what I want or think but I guess he'll say their dreams are aligned which is fine obviously.

Always thought all the interviews with him saying how he'd have traded all of his career away for NFL and it was always his dream over rugby to be very....cringe/disingenuous - obviously he's gonna play it up for the Press, but just felt a bit off, no one else said anything like that

If he cared even a fraction as much about AF as he claims then he'd have played it at some point as a kid, and probably tried to go to an American Uni to play, leveraging his age grade rugby career into a scholarship of some description

Baseball is also the most boring sport known to man.

You're not wrong there.

As for LRZ, I just think it's a bit sad when someone chooses almost certain failure over using a real talent that's got them to the pinnacle of a sport (that's played in more than one country….).

But he'll have his own reasons. Just hope he's been honest with people and continues to be if he does come back which I'd guess would be an inevitably at some point.
