Mixed emotions for me regarding DuPont. I respect a player that’s played through injury for a number of weeks but I don’t think he’s been injured from the start. I’ve heard from a few trustworthy people that Skalde and Franny were very disappointed with how out of shape he was when he arrived. Not injured, just unfit.
My hunch is that Dupont was possibly ready to retire so didn’t really look after himself in the off-season. We announced DuPont’s signing on the 13th of August and I think he was a last minute signing rather than a signing we were waiting weeks/months to announce. He’s probably on very decent money + a player coach role + we’ve flown his wife and 3 kids over here. It’s understandable if he thought why not give it another season.
