[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 911236, member: 73592"] Yeah - I'm torn too. It reads as a bit entitled to me; and seems to talk a fair bit about how he was treated whilst injured; which is... not good; but then the specifics seem to reflect more upon him than the club. Whilst injured, most players will go out and do some coaching of kids or local clubs; or put in some hours doing video analysis etc. I completely understand why shyness / introversion would prevent someone from putting themselves out there to do coaching, or work with the charitable foundation, or whatever; but I just can't see why it would prevent him from sitting in a cubicle with only a TV for company doing video analysis. He's been asked to talk more - is that leadership? or just letting people know where he's standing or going on the pitch, so that others can know without having to look? A rugby club is a pretty small, intimate community; after a couple of years, even the shyest person should be okay giving their thoughts when asked. Now that sort of thing isn't going to be written into any contract; and Nic obviously feel that it was too much to ask - in which case it is bad management to expect it of him... However, I'm not sure it is too much to ask; especially if every other longer-term injured player is doing that stuff, then it really doesn't reflect well on the 1 person refusing. [/QUOTE]
