You cannot always judge players on reserve grade as they often respond better when playing with better players.

When?

Next season is that bloke from Warriors or this season will be Washy now that Obst is covering the halves.

Re: More rumours... : Sat Jun 18, 2011 6:42 pm  

Now, Washys injured.

Obst, and change the halves (Westerman or Turner to partner Horne) I suppose.

Obst then with Horne and Turner in halfs....not ideal but better than playing Newton who is nowhere near and dont think he is training with 1st team either.

So you'd ignore u20's playing in those positions?

But when Agar does it he's 'loathe to promote from with in.'

No...but would if they are nowhere near for 1st team action,which,imo Newton isnt having seen him actually play for the U-20s and not going on something you cant possibly see....I have said that Aldous,Bowen and to a extent,Crooks,could step up to 1st team level.

So we should play youngsters who you think are ready in positions were quite well covered in, but ignore the one in ft training in a position we could be short in?

I'm with you.

Is Newton in ft training?

Stop being a pedantic git,it doesnt work...all im saying,is that actually seeing Newton play,he isnt ready for 1st team rugby as he has not got the build yet but that is just my opinion...if you have seen different all the way from Aus,then you are entitled to your opinion...the players i mentioned could play 1st team in my opinion and should have done v Oldham in the cup....the eay option would be to put Williams in at 7,Horne at 6 and Obst covering 9 but,also imo,Williams isnt ready either...i admit he has a great kicking game but little else....Its amazing what actually happens when you watch a match...i admit i havent seen anything of Mckinnon,Seymour and the other one but will take your opinion as you have actually seen them play.
