I thought that was correct. The one thing that I see that tells me he could be a lock is stamina. But hell I just want to see him get some game time for us off the bench.

Like i said, no doubt he can play lock, but i really think he is a prop. HE just has that toughness and willingness to do the hard carries. I said a while ago he reminds me of Webcke in that regard. I have no doubts Prop is where he will play his best footy, and i have no doubts if he stays here he will be our captain.

Christmas tree post was completely sober thanks bruv.
Is the risk because you've never seen some of them play?

Why do you think I haven't seen them play?

Not sure how you can deduce he thinks you haven't seen them play. He clearly doesn't know so he's asking the correct question.

Sounds great that a player who hasn't hit the big time yet is making sure he's noticed and exerting a kind of pressure on others. I must admit to building excitement about the AS era. I want the Bronco's decision to be right for all the right reasons I think.

How does anyone debut in the starting 13? Potential is all there is to go on. I don’t know the stats but I’d say they’re 50/50 when it comes to debuts being starting or bench. Forwards most likely bench, backs most likely starting, halves would go either way depending on if they have utility value.

It helps when the player occupying the position has done very little in two years to demonstrate that he is the long term answer to fill the half back role for this club...
Trial form will obviously play a big role in whether he is a bolter for round one

There's a strange contradiction in team sports where coaches are almost unwilling to take a chance on a player until their hands are tied. Usually the coaches say such and such isn't ready, but then they're not afraid to throw them into the deep end when the team is either low on confidence or personnel.
I wonder how many stars in the game were given a shot because of injury or desperation? Maybe I'd be better off asking, how many stars were given a shot simply because the coach believed they were the best option at the club?

KHunt was one, wasn't he? It was right at the start of the season, and he impressed straight away.
