Another one of these threads, huh? Sometimes this board is just rinse, lather, repeat.
As for portis, while I do think if it's an uncapped year he does need to go, I think it's because we need a youth movement. Portis is near the end of the line for rbs, and I think his ineffectiveness is more due to the wear and tear he got by being overused as the rock of the franchise for the last 5 years. That dude has put it all on the line for mediocre skins teams year in and year out, and I think it's extremely unfair to bash a guy who has given his all for this team. He deserves better.
