You’re right, there was much more they could have done with that. And should have done with it, to be honest, but it’s hard to get the tone just right with that ongoing storyline in a comedy. How they used it, though, was interesting. His protest by taping up his kit led to Jamie’s taping up his kit (because they’re a team) and finally getting in good with the other players. It also led to Bantr’s sponsoring the team, which in turn led to the Sam and Rebecca thing. I can’t speak for any similar happenings throughout the show where a one-off was used as a springboard for future storylines like that, though.
