Hilarious reading.
People already outraged because Young hasn't selected the entire jersey flegg team from last year.
You want to throw in kids that haven't played any football since 11 months ago.
The same kids have never played against men, no Canterbury Cup, just straight into NRL at back end of season.
Id love to see the reaction when the juniors all shit the bed, drop passes, miss tackles, fall apart. Then we'd see the same people saying move them on they are shit.
Calm the f**k down.
Let's see what happens, its Youngs first game as interim head coach.
With all respect to your hyperbole and views Crush
...Ramsey & Feagai need to be blooded ASAP if we’re to be serious about correcting our longterm centres/outer backs weaknesses.
There’s no sense in the ‘loyalty’ thing with Aitken.
I don’t subscribe to the reticence in selecting juniors who are ready - because they might ‘drop passes’ or ‘shit the bed’.
& I don’t know that too many of our juniors would’ve appreciated a couple of your remarks Crush?
- and it’s been a hard slog for us all to get to this point in bringing about Club change and renewal
... and you’ve been a great contributor.
But career beginnings have to be made somewhere, and I posited the inclusion only of 2 new attacking options to improve backline attack heading into 2021
Quite logical I thought - for both the Club & Deano
The ‘let’s see what happens’ is a well worn mantra at our Club that smacks of a failed conservatism generally,
and especially in bringing juniors (especially outside backs) through over the last 5 years
- for mateship reasons I’ve hammered incessantly.
And we do seem to have finally won the Lafai/Aitken argument I’d say?
Anyway, Ramsey at 20, tall & 82kg, under 20’s Player of The Year, Nine’s Team of The Tournament
.... ‘played against men’ in February quite admirably
... & is, I would suggest, now ready to debut in these crucial 6 weeks of opportunity, with our finals prospects finished
according to Webb?
Sailor’s already blooded, but Max Feagai, at 19 & 98kg, is the attacking beast we need alongside Zac,
....representing at several levels
....with all the attacking, defensive & ball skills we need
- and who, I think, will not be ‘shitting’ himself too often?
Zac & Duff got through their initiations despite McSacked’s disastrous impact on their initial confidence
.... and look at the payback.
(BTW Our entrenched conservative (and journeyman) selection culture almost lost them both)
Can someone send the Club the Jack Gibson coaching manual lol?
With regard to Deano?
...well good luck, but I’d thought the jury was out on what the Club truly needed
Go Dragons!!
Now we can
”start playing like StGeorge”
...as Bennett said to our troops at half time in 2010
