So with you analogy every potential or 1st grader gets 1 year only at a young age to prove themselves or cut them. So why do you still rate Quinny. How many years has he had to prove himself to be 1st grade NRL standard. If you understand playing or development, imagine there would hardly be a front row forward in the comp if you judged them on Year 1. Ponga if mentioned is an absolute 1 out of the box and rare.
You name Tedesco, he has playing 1st grade at fullback 5 years ago, then and only in the last 3 years after Canberra tried to poach him did he start to prove his worth. He had to prove himself at fullback afetr starting on the wing? only when Moltzen was tried in the halves. I did not see him playing like he did now in 2013-2014.
And about Tedesco, Dragons lost out to the Tigers in signing him to play 1st grade before his debut. We nearly had him DQ, probably did not offer enough and Price V Sheens, no wonder we lost out but alas...all was not lost, we promoted Quinny a year later to debut. Who needed Tedesco
we had Quinny. Where are they both now?
. That is all I ask re Dufty..time will tell.
