Sadly I doubt he'll make it as pro as football is just ridiculous. So competitive and the quality is so high now even as young as 6.

Shame he never took to rugby. He wouldn't even need to be that skilled to get a cap for Wales.

I was talking more the cross country / middle distance.

Usually sport stars fall into a sport early teens they get big reward from, and its not usually the sport they started with.

Yeah, probably unlikely he makes it in any sport but will be interesting to see how he gets on with his running. They train 3 times a week (same as his football) but told them he can only do 1 day a week with his football and they still want him to do that. We’ll see but i imagine when you get up to national level it starts getting pretty hardcore but you never know I suppose. No money in track, though. I was poised take 90% of all his future earnings as a footballer but don’t think il bother if he makes it in athletics

I mean football is super competitive, but even the lower leagues pay well...

90% of a middle distance runner leaves him with Universal credit contributions hahaha

Yeah you can earn decent money in league 1, even league 2. I just want to maximise my earning potential from him, that's all I care about really.

To the surprise of precisely no-one he's calling it quits and coming back to rugby.

Well i am gobsmacked lol...

As soon as I saw his combine stats we all knew he was destined to fail, he could overcome the lack of experience with tremendous physiological performance, but he mid tracked amongst a group of high schoolers.

Question is now, where does he go, no Welsh region has star money, Gloucester maybe?

South of France is nice this time of year, that would be a huge mistake though IMO.

So, ive woken up to a message from a very good friend, who saw LRZ in the gym and few weeks ago (I also did but didnt speak to him lol) and he assures me he is going to sign for the Dragons...

Yes he does live in Newport, and is a Rodney season ticket holder, and is partial to a morning whiskey...

But I believe him!

Perzackly. No money on these isles compared to France and I'd imagine he's been enjoying the weather in Florida compared to Gloucester or Wales. He'll enjoy Basque country

Agreed. Let’s face it, he’s a massive tart as well so will be thinking about his tan and lifestyle which is why south of France sounds more likely than Newport in my opinion.

Dragons won't be around next month lol.

South of France would be a career ender for him IMO, it'll resign him to lifestyle over performance, and hell live a social media influencer life who also plays rugby

Yeah he needs to get away from the Rocky 3 vibes where he’s training in that fancy hotel and stuff. Needs to get back to Micky’s gym and put in some proper work

Supposedly LRZ has a back issue that has prevented him from training with the Jaguars and was going to lead to him being released before their pre season games started

Be interesting to see if that's a genuine long term issue or if it was just an excuse for them to cut him loose so they can get a new IPP player in for free

Ye, he was about to be dropped. Apparently his back issue was just spasms, nothing long term, but that's always going to be the noise coming out of camp looking for a contract.

He was lifting 8kg dumbells in the gym recently and looked tender bless him hahaha
 
I don’t see LRZ going to Falcons

Like do Falcons even know who is going to be their head coach going forward? I imagine dimes if he stays will want to be the DOR type again

Does the head coach matter? Red Bull have a specific brand in sport, and its younger highly marketable talent. A new head coach would have to fit in that mould, and few are more Red Bull than LRZ...

It depends on whether they get the job done in time I suppose.

Favourites would be a southern France team or Gloucestor surely?

Head coach matters because a head coach might not want LRZ

RB run their sports teams pretty damn well, don't fall into the trap they run them like a marketing gimmick.

They take sports ownership very seriously hence why they dropped a lot on getting Klopp as their head of football operations
