"We respect his decision, at least we didn't hear it from the media like some players did.
"He did it the proper way, discussed with his coach, the president, the team and some of us that he trusts, that this is what he wanted to do.
"We gave him our own advice, at the end of the day we have to respect his decision.
"In the old system they were playing, Moses was indispensable, now another coach has come with another system.
"Hopefully by January he'll get himself sorted, we still need him", he added.
