No blame for Josh leaving. A footy career is limited as we all know. He needs to do the best he can for himself.I spoke to Josh briefly at Wednesdays training there is no doubt he is leaving, but I dont think its a decision that has come easy for him. I could see the emotion on his face when I mentioned a couple of things. It is a business decision for both Josh and our club that is not ideal for either party I would think. We need to remember these kids arent robots and he leaving a club and his mates he has been with since he was 18yo wont be easy.
The club played the same game with Gresham last year, but the difference with Josh is I believe there is no way we would let him go if we had other ways to rapidly improve our list holes. Please dont blame Josh for wanting the best for his family.
He is an outstanding young man and I wish him all the best with his future, he will be missed at the Saints.
But, hopefully he will have some say in the way the club who gave him his opportunity will be compensated.
