Of course it is and nobody is saying they should be in week in and week out but they should get brought in gradually. Look at how well Corey did last night, did he look out of place? Has Newman not done ok?

Weve a back row of Martin Ward and Merrin and weve Mellor coming in along with Cam Smith so we are ok for back rowers especially with lads like Walters, who looks an outstanding prospect, Mustaoha and Trout coming through.

We are still in transition and in a rebuild. We needs these kids to come through and the only way to do that is by drip feeding them in gradually but it has to be done.

Short term pain for long time gain.


To be honest really happy he’s got a deal, really like the look of trout and Walters but I think the reserve grade will help them along, I’m sure they will get a few outings if they impress, from our back row Ablett and JJB retired, and hopefully ferres won’t be given a deal, can smith for me is poor not lived up to his hype, and not taken his chances when given a shot this year. Would much rather Donaldson kept than either can smith or ferres, or sutcliffe as well although he does have utility value

From the little I've seen of Muizz he does look a bit on the small size for a forward.


Bit ironic that you have put this about Muizz on a thread about Donaldson. Muizz is the strongest player at the club. Hes runs harder than any forward at the club and hits harder than any forward at the club.

He made more metres and broke more tackles in a single run at Newcastle than Donaldson has done all season. He still needs to mature, hes raw as hell but goodness me hes pure box office and great to watch.

Whether he makes it or not only time will tell but I hope a player like Donaldson, who does try his heart out every week, doesn't stop the young lads coming through.

I saw Muizz in the gym the other day. He's not tall, but he's a unit.

Muizz is a wrecking ball. He dominates the collision, with and without the ball. Confident his size wont be a problem whatsoever. Newcastle are on ourleague app today, he should be playing, good chance to see him play, in a playoff game, against a physical Doncaster side led by Rangi Chase. Think its 2.30 pm

Sometimes an unusual body shape can be an advantage- he’s got some pace and is hard to get to grips with.

Barrie Mac wasn’t tall but being three men wide he got on alright.

Barrie was 2" taller and 20kg heavier than Muizz. I do hope he continues his development as his attitude to the game is great to watch and his frame maintains a dynamic running style.

I think two years is good enough. He is a work horse and deserves a contract he has worked for it and if he doesn’t play 1st team he will go good on the reserves.

Probably because he was 6ft wide. #BionicBarrel
