But why? Even if he does become a semi-servicable, NSW Cup level backrower, he is taking up a position in our squad that could belong to e genuine depth option. What's the point of keeping him on just to see, when it's become bleedingly obvious that he isnt capable at first grade level. COuldnt give a f**k if he's a local junior, let him play footy on a full-time Cutters contract and keep him away from the Dragons.
That should apply across the board.
I understand we need to maintain depth in our squad, but what's the point of keeping players on our books if our coaches won't play them when needed?
Nabuli and Hutchison were both healthy and available and yet our coaches don't play them. Now I'm making a big assumption that our coaches actually have a clue, but I'm guessing that from what they've seen from these 2 is that they obviously can't cut it in first grade. Why else would you play a back up prop and a reggies back rower out in your back line in such a crucial game? Hunt, Milford, Boyd and co must have been laughing while they were scoring those all tries.
Can someone please just fix our roster so we have viable back ups when needed?
Perhaps we should ask the Cowboys how to manage a roster. Their back up halves did a pretty good job against our million dollar pair. Or perhaps ask the Sharks nicely if they would consider asking their starting 5/8 to come back...we could have used him on Friday night.
