Hahaha.
So no-one on here is allowed to have a negative opinion?
Let's all be the fluffiest of fluffsters. FMD.
Well lets be specific Coastal, in stead of just making loose sweeping statements.
Lets talk about Brown/Holmes. What the coach is looking for is a good defensive winger who is strong enough stop Sisa Waqa and is solid under a high ball. Holmes or Brown. Brown every time.
He's a proven first grade winger who will remain solid all game. He certainly doesn't have the flair and speed of Holmes, but he won't let the team down in a first round hit out.
What about Bird? A nineteen year old without 1st grade experience. A great player but his time will come. What about Gagan? Out injured, same as Lewis and Taga. What about Ayshford, he was a standout in the 9's.
I think we will see all these players get a fair run over the next month or so, but for our first serious outing, we need solid defensive players on the flanks and at the back, some speed and spontaneity in the centres and tough go forward up front. We have all of that. Ball playing forwards who can open up opportunities for Barba, Leutele, Beale and Gordon. Just be patient and stop wanting instant gratification.
As the young bull said to the old bull "lets run down there and pick out a cow and show her what we've got" Lets walk down there and show all the cows what we've got" Said the old bull.
