Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2796127, member: 1899"] It isn't so much writing Mead off, rather about conveying the potential for a Round 1 bolter in the side. Mead has not cemented his position just yet. He's the likely candidate, sure, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Bennett leave him out if Pearson or Te Rupe impress. It's a little different, but last season most of us had Carlin Anderson penciled in as our replacement for Maranta. In the end, Carlin didn't see any first grade at the Broncos and Wayne went completely left field by selecting Greg Eden, a player most of us had forgotten was even with the club. The Eden experiment failed but it highlights Bennett's tendency to go a little left field. Looking back, it's something he's often done. The Crocodile Hunter in 02, Karmichael Hunt in 04, Leon Bott in 05, Darius Boyd 06, Joel Moon in 07 (Karmichael at #7), Reece Robinson 08...I'm sure you could go back even further to his BRL days. He likes to give young players a shot and isn't afraid to bring them in early. [/QUOTE]
