Thirdly, after the Storm lost to the Bulldogs last Saturday, Chris argued that all the attention regarding Brett's decision the week before the game affected the team and their performance. It sounds to me like the only person it affected was Chris himself. I know that Chris would feel disappointed, but making the kid feel guilty is not the answer. Brett has paid his dues and he owes no-one anything. It has been happening for years and will continue to happen.
Players switch clubs for personal reasons or whatever.
If it is for personal reasons, that's much more important than football. The Storm should give the kid a break and make the most of the rest of the season while they've still got him. He's still playing terrific football, and he's the sort of kid who knows nothing less than giving his best at all times. To Be A Millionaire , they'd be out of lifelines by now. It's time they started making some of the tough decisions on their own, instead of phoning a friend and getting someone else to do it for them.
