Not sure if they could drop him... depends if, knowing about his past, they have put something in the contract regarding any future issues and action they could take.

Chance of a replacement of similar quality? Zero

If he doesn't get a visa because of this, or is denied entry, then we're ed next season. There's no way that we could get a decent scrum half for next year.

Christ, I didn't realise he'd been sacked by two previous club as well. This has the potential to go pear-shaped in a big way. I'd sooner struggle through next season with what we've got than honour Seymour's contract after that.

Tend to agree. On the plus side, we'd have his quota spot and salary plus up to £100k additional cap space for a quality half back. On the negative, there aren't any available. That we know of.

Look at all the problems players have had with visas, some of those for driving offences IIRC. I imagine his visa will be rescinded now?

Not if we didn't pay him it wouldn't.

It depends how much money Pearson would be willing to throw at a replacement. At this stage all the good players are signed up so it would take a transfer fee.

Chase anyone?

Agar's legacy. Cracking.

Unless Ellis stands up and is a success at this level.

No, Ta. I don't want him lurching past my house every night on his way back from his regular Prinny Ave sesh. Get enough of them as it is.

So Obst has now left the club, then...

Here we go again...

I fear we'll be going into another season without a 1st choice scrum half

Which he might well do. No need to panic if he doesn't come. Though Obst would have been handy to have around!

That went well.

Just hope we have put some strong conditions in his contract.

If he has signed contracts with the understanding that he is tea total, then he has to be binned. If we take him now after this incident, then we may not have a leg to stand on later, should his drinking bouts become a problem.

Think we should allow him tea, if he has to forsake all alcohol...

Agree with Rock God....Bin him!

so everyone is saying bin him for what he has done,yet we have just got Aspinwall who was invo0lved in a high speed police chase and got banged up.Personally hope he stills comes and plays out of his skin.

Let's hope he wasn't a joke at our expense from the old regime!

That go for Aspinwall as well then?

is cooke still looking for a club ??

Aye - like Agar's parting shot when he displayed Luke Briscoe to us in that last match.

They're not bitter, though...

Just because Rule's left the club...

I do aswell my fear is that his visa might be cancelled. If we've got any chance of competing we need a scrum half.

Made his breakthrough under McRae...

You could bring Obst back on an improved offer.
