chris o'young quits glasgow warriors

[glasgow_girl]

Hi all,

Hope you don't mind a Visitor from Glasgow and a Glasgow Warriors Supporter dropping by? Just wanted to say - Chris O'Young will be missed by Glasgow Warriors, our squad is paper thin at some positions and Scrum half
is a good example of where we could really use quality players. Officially in Glasgow we have not been notified that he has in fact left - at the momenet its still rumour being passed around by (as you rightly identified) one of Glasgow's Daily rags. If he has in fact gone back to Western Force (and I can't blame him) all I can say is that its a great shame we didn't get to see more of him in Glasgow. Good luck to Chris and good luck to you guys for your forthcoming season!

Looking at the guts of the chicken I've just slaughtered, I reckon the Force will take the most pragmatic route:

• Henjak will be reprimanded and penalised (probably quite stiffly) but not sacked. I suspect it will be a fine - it is effectively the play without pay option and penalises him rather than the team.
• The ARU will piss and moan, but I reckon they'd want to be careful - if they go after him for past indiscretions, there would have to be questions about why they didn't act at the time. Also, as we've noted, it will be difficult for them to justify significant penalties given their previous inaction on much more serious transgressions by other players.
• The Force have or will sign O'Young however, as they've got to cover for Clarke in any case. But it also gives them options should the ARU declined to renew Henjak's contract (which is the one thing they could do without recourse). That would then throw the onus entirely on Henjak to decide what path he will take - he could stay at the Force and try to work himself back into favour (S14 money only, probably with new conditions placed on future behaviour), or he could elect to leave. Either way, at least it would be his choice and, from the Force's perspective, they'd have time to recruit post-season should he leave and he probably wouldn't just reappear on someone elses list with all forgiven.

But we'll see...

O'Young is a class act with great service from set plays and ruck and maul. he's not as physical as Henjak but he would give Giteau more time and space to set the backs going if those in power decide to see Henjak off.
