Message: [QUOTE="Renegade, post: 2996568, member: 1928"] I can agree with your assessment - but being a toiler off the bench to soak up pressure while our starters are getting a breather is valuable also. As you said, he's consistent and won't let anyone down, so it's not as if there's question marks on whether he can handle it. In any case, if he fails, he doesn't get re-signed - pressure's on him to prove he can still mix it up with the youngsters. We obviously gave Haas a big contract based on his potential, but he hasn't proven anything at top level yet. Taumalolo was dropped and in and out of the side when he was a youngster too - he wasn't just given a spot undeservedly. Haas will probably go on to be a great player but he needs to prove that he can handle it first - football is a meritocracy, earn it and it's yours. Fifta did, Haas hasn't yet. If the choice was between them, I think it's a no brainer. [/QUOTE]
