Re: North A & B
Well what happened at St Albans is no real surprise. It is common knowledge that Brne is a mercenary, and I think he is pretty up front about it. Good cricketer with proven record who is probably worth paying for performance. But just dont expect a loyalty discount when negotiations start for the next season!!
Will it affect St Albans? Well I have spoken to a few guys down there and no one was happy with him. Timmy Mac already left because of him and if Brne had stayed, others may have walked. They are a very young team and Brne's coaching is often about riding guys hard rather than a teaching environment so the kids were not getting much encouragement. Certainly there is a lot less tension around the place which can only make for a better team performance. However, he is/was their best player so you would think making a finals push may now be beyond them.
