Anybody see the Aussie v kiwis junior test noticed Robson had a double , field also scored how did they actually play thanks
Saw the 2nd half. Missed Robson's 2 tries in the first half. He played well in the second half.
Field scored a short scorching try after the break. Lawrie played solidly after he came back on.
Patty Herbert was the stand out. Played well and kicked goals well. Masters was good too.
Yes and this is the type of thinking Millward's judgement. Masters is only 17 and has not been tested in reserve grade let alone first grade.IMO young Marsters is not as far off first grade as many people think. Millward has huge wraps on this kid & keeps saying this kid has got it all
I cant see the logic in that possm.If that is the case, we should play Field while Dugan is injured.
My reason for saying Field should be selected at fullback are:I cant see the logic in that possm.
The kid is playing 5/8.... why would you throw him in first grade?
You wouldnt put him at FB without any games in reserves in that position...
And theres no logic blooding him on the wing when young Herbert (by all reports) deserves a shot.
Either play him at 5/8 in first grade or if the plan is FB then play him in that position in reserves against men and let him get accustomed to the position.
I personally am against blooding a 5/8 or fullback on the wing when there are kids in that position ready to go.
When the time is right play the kid in his destined position.
The problem is that a backup fullback for first grade was not put in place for this year because it was believed that Dufty and Field could fill that space.
What a risk, play a small inexperienced player in one of the toughest positions.
We now have a need for a replacement fullback and so if Field is fit, it should be he who fills the bill. Nighty at fullback is not the way to go; weakening one position to fill another. If Field is making a mess of things, then swap Field and Nighty.
I'm the last person you should ask to justify Millward's decisions. Millward has stated he wants Field for fullback in 2018. Dufty, like Mann and Milne do not get a mention in Millward's future plans.Have you seen Field play fullback?
In any grade?
Have you seen Field play much first grade?
