Seen this earlier on Twitter, I really hope this is because we've got two higher calibre players coming in to replace them.
As I and most others have said I would've preferred to see Hood stay, but maybe Sheens sees Lee's versatility as a bonus, I couldn't see any other reason.
Interesting to see Hoods going to Aus to further his career, wonder if this has been Sheens doing for his development with a possibility of coming back in a couple of years.....who knows.
