Message: [QUOTE="HarryAllan7, post: 3700712, member: 9372"] I honestly think it is a ‘challenge’ for Piakura and Mariner. Such an old fashioned coach approach… you’ve got 2 young guys with huge potential and already receiving enormous praise (and big money, in Piakura’s case) that don’t match what they’ve produced on the field. Both pretty much walked into a starting spot, and while some elements of their game (attack) have been good, both need to work on defence and consistency. Both these guys want and expect to be starters. Then… It’s dress rehearsal for the main season and all the big stars are back and the team is full of starters.. and Mariner and Piakura aren’t in the team. They’re told that these other 2 journeymen are ahead of them as of right now and they have 2 weeks to earn back that spot or they’ll be playing QCup. Imagine the shock and sting and disappointment and the fire that would light under these 2 young players, who would likely otherwise be cruising at this point of the season to suddenly feel like their spot was in danger. I don’t think Shiba and Gos will start (or were ever meant to)… they are just the warning shot / wake up call to show these 2 young developing stars that nothing is easy, nothing is promised and motivate them to really get stuck in and take their game to the next level and earn that spot. Also consolidates the point that defence an attitude is the foundation of the team, not flashy attack. Great approach. [/QUOTE]
