So many examples of teenagers like Freddie ,Anthony Watmough,,too many to list if they are good enough then they are old enough.and most of our star juniors are stars also in state of origin and Australian and new Zealand test teams .speed speed speed it just is so hard to get yet we have truck loads of it time to unleash a little bit of it .Matt Dufty is. first cab of the rank fullback I'm sure the opposition will have trouble handling this speed demon.over to you Mary it you want to be conservative ,Matt fullback in attack and swap him with nighty in defence.
There is a long list of teenagers playing FG for other clubs
right now. Nathan Cleary being the most prominent.
There is absolutely no reason why McGregor should not be methodically trying our teenagers out.
Dufty is an obvious choice but I also feel that Field's cameos were absolutely shattering for the young guy.
10 minutes off the bench when the game is done and dusted, is not my idea of promoting young talent.
What irked me the most is when both Dugan and Widdop were injured and, even then, McGregor didn't try the likes of Dufty.
Instead, he opted for Nightingale who filled in admirably but at the cost of losing him as a winger.
In contrast, look at the way Bellamy brings his youngsters through?
They are busting to please the coach and he provides a simple and structured path into the top team.
In the end, they will walk over broken glass for Bellamy.
That's is the single biggest reason we are riding this roller coaster with McGregor.
He is just not in the same class as the top liners.
It is really difficult to follow the logic but coaching aptitude has a lot to do with it.
