Yeah apparently Ardie wasn't very happy with how they dealt with Julian's contract finishing but even if that's part of the motivation I think its worth celebrating as a positive thing for all involved.

MP will hopefully be better next year if their first choice props aren't injured out of the whole season, they still probably need 1 more solid lock and William Havili is not really convincing as 1st 5/8 - but they've got a lot of other positives throughout their squad so hopefully year 2 with the new coaching regime with the boost of Ardie will reap some rewards.
