I wish him well. In my opinion an unfairly maligned player,
partly because people criticsed him for what he couldn't do,
rather than recognising the qualities he did bring. He also got
compared too much to Launchbury, as if it was his fault that we
let Launchbury go

I thought he had a good season last year and would have really
progressed this season with Codling. But its not to be and I
wish him well.

I agree with the above comments. Unfairly maligned for not being
the baby eating lock we all wanted, despite being far and away
our best line out operator and, when the throwing wasn't wild,
being a very safe pair of hands on our throw and often
disrupting/stealing oppo ball.

Fairly maligned for missing so many tackles and giving away
really stupid penalties, though.

I thought he was starting to get better in recent seasons. I
liked him, always gave 100%. If he gets the right coaching I
think he could still develop into a solid squad player.

Doesn’t carry well, doesn’t affect the breakdown and doesn’t
tackle well - not going to be missed for me.

But wihtout him who does our line out ball go to? Horwill?
Robshaw? Wallace? Symmons?

Pulls down players at lineouts to offer the opposition
penalties. Frustrating.
Glynn was being used as a lineout option before his injury.
