You have to be taking the piss..there have been FA youngsters given an opportunity to impress during BAs tenure.I just like seeing talented youngsters get a chance to impress. He’s only gotten two starts this year, and one was against the team currently running second. I’m keen to see how he goes against a mid table side. It’s very exciting.
If we score more points than them I reckon we'll get the chocolates.I think we are a chance if we play well...
Not true …. Plenty have called out that his form has been down and could do with a rest - me IncludedIt's funny how everyone whines about JA but Penisini has let in alot of tries this year and has not done much to phone home about in attack and not a peeeeeeep.

I wish Jake well and we all do but we can't hand on heart say BA is a coach who proactively promotes youngsters.
He is a conservative coach and rarely promotes a young bloke who may have been doing really well in the lower grades.

One would imagine that there's a very strong chance that JA's sternum won't be up to scratch come Friday.
If we do they'll be Rocky Roads.If we score more points than them I reckon we'll get the chocolates.
Rocky Road is great.If we do they'll be Rocky Roads.
Not too bad but when you break it down a lot of these guys made their debut out of necessity due to injuries/suspensions or resting players I.e Penrith game last year.

So in less than nine years he's debuted 18 merkins under the age of 22. It's not too bad.

I reckon this is well below a stack of other clubs. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story though. As mentioned, resting players and players being promoted out of necessity due to injury/suspensions.So FA
Maybe one of your kids will fall over and break a leg Friday then you won't have to watch the Eels play..
Well here's Bellamy's record over the same period (since round one 2014):Be great to see how this compares with other clubs.
