Shane Tuck's relationship with the Tiges has been just bizarre.

This is so true.

Why the hell keep him if your not really going to play him?  He is old and while I like him, its stupid to keep him unless he is a regular in the senior side and you think you will play him a lot.  Given they obviously don't think he is a good fit for the senior side, then he ought to go. 

To keep him is a decision, which shows a lack of faith in the recruiting and development departments and doesn't allow for the natural progression and development of the list.  Maybe they want to keep him as a clubman and an example of great training but I would have thought there are enough other senior players that could be good examples, Foley Reiwoldt etc.
