Youth in focus with finals hopes dashed

Dino doesn't know alot about anything to be honest.

Damien Cook is like a one hit wonder no thanks.

Hastings imo has no intention of coming back and probably burnt a few bridges leaving.

Nightingale is the least of our problems. This year I have only seem him have one below par game. Bad kicking, atrocious handling, poor combinations and lack of flowing play have cost us games. Yesterday the Cutters
lack of respect for the ball cost them dearly in the first half but they picked up their game in the second half and just won. When we had Brett Morris we had an individual match
winner. If he was still here we would probably still be in the eight due to his uncanny ability to score long distance tries.
Both Mann and Dufty can score long distance tries and that is why we need them in the team. We also need more pace and skill at half-back , five eighth and second row courtesy of Host and Leilua.

This year Flo has received way less quality ball than any time in his career, primarily due to our poor dummy half and halves form.

I can't think of the last time he was given the ball in a try scoring position!

With most wingers in the comp, fast or not, when this happens they all but disappear.

His efforts keep him in the game, every game, opportunity or not.

For this reason alone he is still great value.

Oh dear, looks like Mary is pulling the wool over our eyes now with this youth policy.
Admittingly it may make him slightly better than price, but let's not be fooled here.
What's the bet now that he bloods all these young kids with 4 rounds to go that this buys him another season next year?

Here is an article that just appeared on Sporting News - I wonder if there info is correct about Mary playing Dufty???
