[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1031871, member: 39240"] So I will address these: 1. So CEO is saying No Contract was offered. They presumed they couldn't match deal but CJ has stated he was not wanted as a backrower. So CEO may have been spinning it slightly but well he was not offered any deal as a backrower. Maybe a deal as a hooker. 2. As stated by [USER=45598]@The Alpha Bro[/USER] Ireland is not in UK so not sure what happens but again you are so misinformed. The IRFU/Ireland have targeted Project Guys 100%. But in troublesome positions like THP back when it was just John Hayes etc. Backrow has always been Irelands strongest depth. As much as I love CJ I would say about any Irish backrower that there will always be another that would step up. Regardless the facts on CJ are: Shaun Payne heard all about his rumblings. Contacted the late great Anxel Foley. He then had Garret Fitz (RIP) and the Munster board look in to it. Then the signing was made. CJ scored great try on 1st game but struggled to even make team here. Was 99% signed for London Irish after 2 years. Only coach that seemed to fully fully back him was Axel. Hence the closeness of the 2 and devastation when he died. 3. I'm not say SA coaches were wrong or they don't advise. More what was said. His mentality we can have different views on and neither know exactly who was right but I revert to point 1. 4. I never said SA did anything wrong. As you correctly stated he had plenty of competition. And they made a call to CJ that he did not agree with. I'm not disputing that. Like nobody is saying SA were wrong. More they made a call and CJ was 1 that they let slip through the net. [/QUOTE]
