Have to agree.
It does rather seem like the actions of a club looking to bring in a clutch of players, though. Otherwise, it is surely pointless.
Are we to assume that he will be registered and required to maintain fitness to a high level so as to be usable if required? (And with our history of player injuries …)
On a slightly different tack – are there coaches out there who possess a reputation for having fewer injuries to their charges than the norm and a lot fewer than what we seem to have? Coz if that applies to McMahon – I’d find that to be appealing thinking after our recent history.
