Apart from being a disaster for Sam, this decision is a pain for us. Just when it looked like we had Hickey as #1, Naismith as #2 and McAndrew as a project developing for the future, and with Amartey as a potential forward-ruck to back up our #1 ruck.
I also would have thought we would have put Sam on the LTIL and taken a second player at the mid-season draft if we had known about Sam - but it seems we did because the mid-season draft was just a week ago and, according to reports, Sam pulled up sore sooner than that and was sent for scans etc.
