Yes, he is still part of the team and deserves the position!
Yes, may as well get our moneys worth while he is here!
Undecided
No, I believe there is a better player regardless of the contract debacle.
No, he doesn't deserve to play if he is leaving anyway!
No, no disrespect but we may as well reward someone who is staying.
With the nature of how Digby Ioane went about his contractual negotiations, does he deserve to be picked for the last match of 2007 against the Blues?
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
Of course. It's a stretch but the Force can still get into the finals. It would be crazy to leave Digby out.
Haig for mine, thanks, but it's bye for now Digby.

No. I've already wished Digby well. But our club needs to get on with developing Haig Sare now.
Who really wins when you bench someone for leaving. Play your best team.
That's not the issue. Develop the player likely to be his replacement.Originally Posted by Sagerian
I guess you won't know who wins until the game is over.Originally Posted by Sagerian
I would think our John would not be thinking Digby is part of our team anymore, he can put both his red slippers on, tap his heels together and say "there's no place like home" and that will be that.
So our "best" team would have Haig in the mix.

stapleton!!! on the bench and say bibi to diggers
Well, I guess it's not Victoria Bitter anymore...
The question I heard was does he deserve to be picked. To drop him for any other reason than "There's someone more talented" is probably not a good reason. They might as well get their moneys worth, and anyone whos shitty over him leaving can hope he gets injured or something.
You'd mess with the lineup, backline cohesion and a slim slim semi chance for that?Originally Posted by shasta

Good poll options too.![]()
A precident perhaps
"Promising No.9 Holmes, who is heading to the Brumbies next season, has been a standout for NSW in the last two weeks.
But he has missed out with Josh Valentine returning to the starting lineup and Brett Sheehan named on the bench after both recovered from injury."

...and personally, I don't think they have picked their best 22 in this case. There could certainly be some "payback" at play here and I don't likes it one bit.
In my opinion, he's still part of The Force until the end of this season, if he's the best man for the job, pick him. If he isn't, then don't.
I want to be unique - just like everybody else!
...............what about the following week???
