If Walmsley was going to a Superleague team or even back to Australia no one would begrudge him, he has been excellent both on and off the field, (as have the other two antipodeans) but, with hindsight and remembering from the Obst situation, the contract should have included an option on the part of the club to have a second year of service. This could have been revoked by the club if the player did not fit (Rodney Pora) but would have provided for at least a financial recompense if the player decides to move on. If the Aussies coming next year are as good as we hope the club needs to make sure this does not happen again.
