Jake Niall is a deadset weirdo but there is an ounce of truth in that statement

Losing Mitchell is the pain we feel for the Tippett deal. We thought we wouldn't miss him but we do bit even if he was in the side it wouldn't have made much difference. Nanka left because of a lack of opportunities as much as anything so we can blame the Sinclair trade on that as we clearly didn't rate his prospects that high
