I know, I know,it's completely irrational of me to feel this way, and couldn't agree more that the Lions have done wonders with their list management but it still irks me that a local dual premiership player, ambassador for the Lions and one of the few hardened taggers we have has to leave at the early stage of his career, when long serving senior servants of the club are saddling up for almost certainly their last year.
In other words we're giving up say 6-8 years of Copeland's career for another year from a couple of the oldies. So much for the list turnover and renewal that Leigh spoke of after the GF.
Still, despite the retention of a couple of oldies, a masterful piece of work to have kept the heart of the list in place.
Agree 100%. Would have hoped that he could of stayed 1 year extra year under the current arrangements and then reap the benefits of a lot of retirements etc. Probably not to be.
