Even though he could very well come back to bite us in the ass, the fact is from what we've seen of him in the trials under Stubbs, he wasn't going to show the potential he has. For us, it is kind of stupid this close to the start of the season to release a guy who started in most every trial game and who was one of our only players who wasn't absolute shit that can play LB, unless releasing him is going to allow us to sign a better player. In saying that though, even though I think we shouldn't have resigned him originally and I'm not upset to see him go, Gallaway and Virgili would have been the first in my mind to get rid of. But, in the end for him it was the right move and if this kid can regain the form of the game he played against Sydney in his debut then we have a future socceroo who is doing what it takes to further his career.
