I think it was through necessity that he ended up in Premier League. Hopefully he won't have to be rushed any further this year and for some of next.....

don't know too much about the rushing question?????

sometimes if your good enough, your old enough - Karmichael Hunt????

so if he is good enough, maybe give him a shot this year to see how he goes??

Hunt is playing fullback outside a backline that has Lockyer directing the traffic and he doesn't have the pressure of directing the play. Its a big ask for a kid to come into first grade and order blokes like Hindmarsh around and tell them what to do. As has been said he was good in Flegg and aside from one game in PL he hasn't shown the same form - let him find his feet now before too much pressure is placed in him.

thats quite true Colonel Eel.....

but Witt got thrown into as bad or worse pressure last year and came out the other side and did better than that, he started to develop as a player.....but....

BS went and put his career back a full year by stopping his progression into first grade this season, with Wagon and Dykes in the halves

he is slowly regaining some form and confidence and Hindy was apparently quoted as saying much the same as you just said, its hard for him (Witt) to order older blokes around.....but he had got used to that last year and then got brushed and has had to start over

its one thing to come in and have the pressure you speak of.....but its another to come in, do the job, develop a game and then have it all taken away, just to be thrown back into a similar or worse situation halfway through a year and be expected to do it all over again and work miracles

nice work Brian.......

Sterlo played first Grade at 17 - at fullback in a semi final no less.

Maybe we should pick Tim Smith there IF we make the semi's. ;-)

i also agree Tim Smith probably needs more time, but sometimes if your ready your ready and Witt probably wasn't ready last year, but dealt with it

and gievn limited opportunties this year has tried to deal with again

Blake will be a great player in a few years time. He's absolutely killing it at the moment - hopefully when he makes his debut in first grade he'll rip it up there.

U never know what will happen in the last few ronds of the year when there is nothing to play for. Younger guys might be given ago and the shite like Hopkins and Co will be given a rest forever.

please don't call Hopkins the sh*t.....

what about people like Peek and Corey Pearson????

I could name half a dozen others that don't have the heart of Hopkins.

exactly Suity

and Jake there are plenty of others and i agree that results don't lie

just didn't want to implicate players like Langi amongst others that under normal circumstances i wouldn't feed in a football team, but he has at least had a go

All players that were personally chosen by one B. Smith.
Don't forget people after last season and the big spending spree that Smithy went on, this year was going to be BIG, STRONG AND UGLY, and successful apparantly. What poor judgement that was. From one of the games best coaches some will tell us.

Fair enough and I actually think Langi is an Ok player.

Im sure most of our players really try but most of our players are short of TALENT.

and not only that......he then got a megaphone out and shouted his "strategy" from the rooftops - just in case anybody hadn't heard or hadn't noticed?????

just so we could yet again be humbled and embarrassed and bashed out of the game in Round 1 by the scum of the league

Wise Kativerata, Mal Faufusi, Fuifui Moimoi (although i do still have some small thread of hope for him).......gee they were great buys weren't they?????

BS has to realise that he can't always turn peoples careers around like he did with Taylor, Drew and others....

And the one's that do have talent (ie. Vella) aren't performing either, with a few exceptions.
A major, major concern.

Vella is in the comfort zone with his big are contract, wait for him to come good when negotiations are on next year but hopefully he gets released.
