Westie, when was the last time you saw this kid play? I've never seen him, so I can't comment. You seem to have some idea about him - is it based purely on his age, or on something else?
Haven't watched much of the lowers for a while now, but my point is, if he was good, i'd probably have seen him.
It's just based on age. There's very few players who are good enough as youngsters and if they are, you KNOW it. Think Karmichael, Benji etc. Benji scored 4 tries in 60 minutes in his only "20's" fixture and came into FG to get smashed and miss about 3 seasons of football, complete with technical f**kups.
My problem is more-so with every one pulling a new kid out of the 20s each week because he scores a try every few weeks. Better yet, what about having prop forwards come from the 20s!
What people haven't really seemed to realise is that this is just a glorified Jersey Flegg. If we'd been on here a few years ago calling for 7 new Fleggers each year, we'd have been laughed at. I just can't fathom why people can't understand this.
There's so many errors in the U/20s we do have in FG that have actually shown something. Aka Moltzen and his extraordinary ability to be invisisble if we're not smashing the other side.
Let's not even think about Lui. One of the worst performers in a WT shirt ever. But is it really his fault he was thrown in so soon?
