[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 741834, member: 40658"] Is it really wasted talent when he retires because of an ongoing injury? He clearly felt that he didn't have four more quality years in him, so it's not really wasting talent as much as conserving the reputation and talent that he already showed. Retirement shouldn't be used as wasting talent. Not being selected for whatever reason due to coaching preferences/eligibility/contractual issues should be used as the reason for the talent being wasted. If a player retires it shows that he is not up for showing his talent anymore, and in my mind he's not wasting it. Look at a guy like Frik Kirsten who played for the Bulls. At age 22 he had to retire due to Neck problems. We haven't even got a chance to see his talent... [/QUOTE]
