If he doesn't like the abuse from some of the fans he has jumped out of the frying pan, into the fire, and it seems he has a new coach who doesn't thing he fits into his plans for the season

money was never the sticking point. greg wanted assurances that he would have a centre spot next year and dp was honest and said we had blair and shenny and he would be 3rd choice after those two.

And he’s probably behind Mata’utia too.
Greg Minikin is a good winger, but I’ve not seen much that makes me think he is good enough to be a centre in a team that wants to challenge for trophies.
He doesn’t seem to have either enough size and strength to be a powerful centre in the mould of Webster, or the speed and footwork to be an elusive type of centre like Gildart and Percival.
I’ve not seen much evidence that he can create space for his winger and deliver the killer pass either.

So did Kevin Brown. It didn’t mean he was any good.

Ok as a winger.

Nowhere near good enough as a centre, which is where he wants to play.

If he's not prepared to accept playing as a winger, let him go.

Have they left Coco the Clown in charge whilst it’s the off-season?
Unbelievable.

The people running the club have got to sort this kind of amateur (and that’s probably a slur on many great amateur rugby set ups) rubbish out. It’s unacceptable and embarrassing.

Our website and other social media output is miles off the pace.

They never said who Gale was joining just that he had left the club.

Minikin though is simply embarrassing what's happened.
