That claim can not be made of Thomas. By some accounts he did what he could to avoid playing. The team is currently deciding if there is anything that can be done to help clear up the mess he helped make. His (Rugby) thoughts are relevant and timely.

By all means I would have hoped Thomas could have had the procedure done earlier. I would also have hoped that a second procedure would not have been required as is the case. However, what is done is done, or in this case what wasn't done wasn't done. Nothing can change that fact so dwelling on what could have been has no impact on the here and now or the upcoming future. For all we know Thomas could have had the surgery done in February and returned successfully in game one and then blown out a knee on the first play.

I have just as much right to mention my opinion that moving on from events that cannot be changed is healthy as do those that have the right to dwell upon events that cannot be changed. Do I not?
