I was told that he took the death of his father really bad.
He was actually ready to just walk away from footy, the club was disappointed but gave him the time and space he needed.
Expect him to repay the faith in spades this season😉

Hope he does

Tough but fair.

He has 2 years to bounce back.

That should be more than enough time.

l have seen this first hand, footballers losing people close to them. l have been on the training track & seen messages delivered several times & it's very gut wrenching to see. It can make or break anyone no matter how tough you think you are. Its tough to play VFL / AFL football mentally & then that added stress can break any person. If that is what he is saying, Then I believe him 100% & so should everyone who supports us. Give him the respect he deserves that he has opened up & being honest when many times footballers bottle it all up & suffer in silence. Many footballers see terminal ill children in their spare time as we have seen with Jake King this year. Nearly every player & clubs have a part to play in someone tragic life every week of the year, year after year. We should take caution on our comments & admin should remove any disrespectful posts when this occurs. Lets hope he has a great 2015 support role  :gotigers

For those saying his form has been down since day 1, Well it does say his father has been battling health for 6 years+ so that's most of his career.

Crock of poo story

If u can make it to training, you can play

There was no need to promote this crap.

It's merely a reminder of how there are still many stuffwits with jobs at RFC.

fair enough monk but he looked pretty happy with he signed on for 3 years at 350k. If it effected him that bad, he shouldn't have signed, instead take a few years off and be with your dad.

He should be given every opportunity to produce the goods next year in the last year of his contract, but beyond that its adios amigo

All i'm saying is 2 years of below average performances would have any employer ready to send you packing. That's life unfortunately, and he has been paid to deliver and thus far he hasn't.

I don't see the purpose of making this public, especially now.

That said there will be no excuses for Shaun this year.
