Yeah, I wish Bain luck with where he ends up back in Aus, but there's no chance one of you're quota players should not be an automatic pick in your matchday 17 IMO, so it makes sense. Plus as others have said he struggled massively with his injury, who knows where he's been with that pre-season? Hopefully, we've got someone lined up to add to the prop rotation that's gonna cause a bit of excitement.

[quote="Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo":1iffu36w]So that's Boothroyd and Bain both deemed not good enough for SL. Right decision though imho.[/quote:1iffu36w] I think at 20 in his first open age season Boothroyd went well. He’s a player I believe after a season or two in the championship could definitely step up into SL. I think had it not been for the injury he may have had a chance to be this season.

Right decision though imho.[/quote:2k2a3ik0] As I understood it there was no quota spot for Boothroyd? How do you know Bain is leaving because he's 'deemed not good enough?' I don't know how either could judged good enough for SL or not, on the playing time they had!

Ellis said it just wasn't the right time for Boothroyd with what we had in the team but they liked him and would like to bring him back one day.

He didn’t put a foot wrong and looked in very good shape for a young second row. I think he will go very well at Fev and if he has a full year there I can see him getting picked up for a SL club, if not us.
